“Being physically and mentally fit is a revolt against the modern world.”

-Alexander Cortes

That’s a great quote because it summarizes a great deal in few words; pithiness is not something I usually achieve so I appreciate it when I see it. When you are exposed to corporate propaganda regarding food (eat almost literal garbage, etc.) and are told by the Fat Acceptance/Celebration movement that CICO is completely false, that working out itself is insalubrious, that someone can be at the pinnacle of health at 400 pounds, it does take a near-total rebellion in one’s mind and behavior to do what is actually helpful and beneficial to one’s well-being.
