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.

Fitness and nutrition are marketing gimmicks which is why 65% of the US population is OBESE.

It blows my mind that the media didn't point out the obvious correlation between obesity and bad outcomes with the "pandemic" virus back in the spring of 2020. I kept a picture from a UK article lamenting that a "healthy" nurse only 29 years old had died of COVID. Here's the picture:

The only conclusion I can come to is that they want us to be fat, no matter the consequences.

How does fitness and nutrition fit in with self-compassion if you associate food with self-care?
