That’s a false statement if I ever saw one. Most of the people who act like they eat “healthier” than everyone else look the worse. Isn’t that what most vegans claim? Bodybuilding and “health nuts” are NOT the same thing.
At all.[/quote]
Would you argue that most natural bodybuilders (I don’t want to touch the drug issue) aren’t healthy?
Or are you just mocking the “healthy-nuts” who distended carb-guts?
Because I assume if you look good, you’re probably healthy. Is that a bad assumption?[/quote]
You can be OBESE and be “healthy”. Health is simply the absence of disease, nothing more.[/quote]
With that definition, yeah. But the thing is that most people who are obese have comorbidities or are likely to have them.
As a healthcare worker, I don’t use that definition. I’ve yet to see someone morbidly obese who doesn’t have one to a shitload of problems because of it. There’ one guy in my nursing home who’s so obese and debilitated he has to use a wheelchair most of the day. Actually, I’ve never seen him out of the wheelchair. In his chart, the only thing we have listed for diagnoses is hypertension and morbid obesity. This is far less than the laundry list of diagnoses for lighter residents.
However, EVERY morbidly obese patient or resident I’ve seen is a basketcase health wise. And sometimes mentally too. [/quote]
