This Substack will guide you to the future as obesity disappears and its negative impact on American culture will need to be eliminated as well.
I’m new to SubStack but starting out posting 33 articles and 50 podcasts on my subject: gluttony, aka obesity. As the person who rebirthed the Pilates Method in 1991, I look at bodies first. I look first and listen later.
Some Facts:
American obesity is 65%-- not the 41% figure based on the fraudulent BMI—“grading on a curve” -- that the CDC engineered in 1985 to continue the Shop Buy EAT/Drink REPEAT practice that has been so economically beneficial.
The WHO (World Health Organization) says waistline measurement should replace all the other evals. Obese is 35”. Japan instituted Annual Mandatory Waistline Measurement in 2008 after too many Disney World visits. Their national obesity is 3.8%. When CNN announced this Japanese initiative 15 years ago, they ridiculed the practice. The average American woman's waist size is 38.7 inches and height only 63.6 inches. Men are 69” with waistlines of 40.5. We are today a nation of short fat people. We used to describe American women as “long stemmed beauties.”
Of course, science saves us again! The miserable fat “journeys” that began in 1963 with our beloved Weight Watchers—oh sorry WW—will be reversed by Ozempic. This explains why the Authorities recently made fatness a disease so the insurance companies had to cover the medications—coming soon is the pill version! Like Fluoride, maybe this should just be in our water supply.
Next up: fixing the mental damage. We have five eating disorders—the two old standbys –anorexia nervosa and bulimia ( espoused by the late Princess Diana)—and now we can add: Binge eating disorder; orthorexia; and anorexia nervosa PLUS SIZE!
If you are a Sub Stack reader, Wellness may be your religion. And just like the ole time versions, SIN is the subtext. Particularly the two standbys: Gluttony & Sloth which form the very basis of our diet and fitness revolution. Remember when we rebranded to fitness and nutrition? And now in its final form/failure is WELLNESS. So sorry, wellness is just not well.
PC, Cancel Culture and our desperate need to find love and acceptance are byproducts of sizing up --the visible symbol of American decline. Soon fat acceptance will disappear. Next to go will be broadcasting our goodness by what we choose to consume. Let’s start by remembering that ONE BILLION are starving. No—that doesn’t mean they are in a “food dessert” where there is no organic produce—that means they don’t have even 800 calories to support their bodies.
In a country where we have never endured a famine, China is laughing at us.
Gluttony is a sin. Right now one billion people are starving. Nutrition and fitness have nothing to with weight loss or the pleasure of eating. Americans live in a country with unlimited food which is not the case for half the world.
Trillions of dollars are made on "wellness." Media is also afraid since they promoted all the crappy diets and exercises. Ozempic will save us if the powerful don't kill it.
