The answer here is “Well yes, but actually no.”

Those PSAs assume a generally sedentary lifestyle typical of the middle & upper classes. Owning a detached home away from urban centers, driving everywhere, and working a desk job, that kind of thing. If you live that kind of lifestyle, then you will have to actively count calories, and do extracurricular exercise in order to stay healthy because you won’t be doing enough physical work at any other point in your life in order to do so passively (and this is before we get into matters of diet composition, which is another thing entirely).

This is also why the biggest assholes who insist that obesity is a personal failing, and not a structural problem are almost always middle class strivers, or those looking to join their ranks. They’re fully aware that attacking the actual structural causes of obesity means attacking their accustomed lifestyles, and they don’t want to do that.

That’s significantly more than the average person, and is about what is recommended in terms of “extracurricular activity” medically speaking.

But I do walk like a few km everyday.

That’s what’s doing it tbh. I burn significantly more calories just by walking around at work, than I do lifting weights (not in terms of like cal/min or whatever, but in terms of overall volume of activity & calories burned).

I think the west (but especially the USA) has created an environment that facilitates obesity and shames people to pay their way out of it.

This is very much true. I would love to be able to ditch my shitty car for a bike, and I would be in much better shape if I did. However doing so is extremely dangerous, because I have to drive 15 minutes down a 55mph stroad just to go get groceries, and I don’t even really live in the suburbs. I live in a shitty apartment block that is 5 minutes (again by stroad) away from my manufacturing job.

If this were a sane society everything would be built to scale with the travel abilities of the human body in mind, but it’s not, it’s built exclusively with the private automobile in mind; and everything else flows out from that.

That is a saltine stick.

It’s bald pocky.

Wait, really, this was the last episode of the season? That’s lame. This is the least intriguing cliffhanger ever.

START NOW! You need those!

Well, I see what you’re problem here is.

You didn’t build any coal for steam-powered pumps, you goofball.

Having to aim at an enemy in an FPS is just a QTE.

I know what the acronym is, I’m asking how in the goddamn do you figure it has them?
