Yeah, what the fuckin’ hell. It’s no better for men, either.

And that’s the average size. That means half of women are even larger than that (yes, not quite right, but wouldn’t be far off). That’s a BMI of 30. 30! How is this possible. Wait, don’t answer, I know. But…even if large corporations and such are responsible in a systemic sense, take some damn self-responsibility and just put down the donut or Santa’s yumnut or whatever and regain some sovereignty. I am embarrassed for my nation.

Jamie Oliver’s meatball buns are the kind of mess you won’t mind getting yourself into.

I have no interest in getting into Jamie Oliver’s buns or Santa’s yumnut.

It is a key thing I do wish Americans understood—many of the urban things they like in European cities come in part from social welfare regimes that enable people to be less frantic about owning property and defending its value than Americans are.

That’s absoulutely the case. Many Americans have most of their wealth in a (shoddy, poorly-constructed) house and this is why they will defend it to the death.

Change those incentives, much else can change.

Why 1,200 Calories IS Enough for Some People.

I’m male, and I eat in this range — most likely closer to 1,400 calories a day but it varies a lot by day.

I’ve also increased my strength by more than double in the past two years and added in the neighborhood of twenty pounds of muscle (though my bodyweight only increased by eight pounds or so because much muscle replaced fat, changing my body composition enormously).

Trust me, if I can eat 1,200-1,400 calories a day working out harder than most people ever do in their lives, someone who is being a damn lump on a couch can do fine on that much.

“Starvation mode” and the Loch Ness Monster are very similar: things often discussed, but never actually seen.
