if america is sick, as rfk claims, we need to be making access to healthcare easier. we need access to healthy food easier. we need systemic changes. people are not dying of food dye. they are dying because they’re impoverished.

public health issues are not solved by promoting green supplements & telling people the only way to be fit is by getting a gym membership. we need a mindset shift.

Ironically we need more green solutions, we need a way to grow more vegetables and fruits without sucking up the water supply. We need science for this but they want to cut it

The best way to be fit is to do 30 mins of physical activity per day on average and an easy way to achieve that which applies to almost every town in America if not every one is a gym.

I mean true but the gym is one of the most effective and most accessible ways to do it. I don't agree that it should be a requirement but that doesn't mean you should dismiss it either imo

This is going to be the next stage of mass confusion spread by corporations and politicians, pretty soon this infrastructure will get worse, and instead of fixing it there going to just let it run its course

not dismissing it, just saying there are plenty of ways to be a fit person or a healthy human, lower your risk of chronic disease for the sake of this conversation, without ever entering a gym! i think the conversations we have about fitness have become very consumer-centric when it’s not really necessary

If anyone wants to see how easy it is for them to do this, look no further than the fitness and nutrition sphere online, tons of misinformation gets peddled and people are hopping on to diets and trends and tying their source of identity around it

okay but gyms are full of assholes who literally call you fatass AT THE GYM so why would overweight people pay for a gym just to be bullied more?

Never had someone say something negative to me once at the gym, if anything people come up and give you advice on how to lift with better technique. That's just my personal experience though

I'm also on the opposite end of the weight spectrum though so if anything I would get called a holocaust survivor not a fatass

i’ve been fat shamed MULTIPLE times going to the gym even after losing 100 pounds. obese people are hated for being obese and adding more gyms is not going to change that.
