Another theory on obesity

There are many theories on the causes of obesity. Some say too much fat, too many calories. Ironically, many of the modern diets have generally failed to fix the problem.

The above video is long. For people who will reply with tl;dr here is the synopsis:



Watch it if you get a chance. I really enjoyed it and found it both eye opening and informative, without needing some shock factor or sex to sell it. It follows a simple premise and makes a lot of sense.

Sure I do. They've been sitting in class so long listening to lectures and regurgitating those lectures that they never know how to think on their own or formulate any sort of idea beneficial to the business. So I can come up with the most slack-ass idea i can think of and it still sounds better than what they have to offer. And with 20,000 plus employees, it's kind of tough to tailor a firewall for each individual......at least it is for them.
Yes, you're absolutely right, everyone that bothers to get an education turns out exactly like that. Thumbup

I'm sorry....where did i say that i played dodgeball with my sisters and parents?
I meant your kids, as in you home-school them, and you said you take them outside with a four square ball. For them, dodgeball = parents and siblings, yes?

NOT THE SAME as playing dodgeball in school. Not even close.

i'm going to need you to point out where I said that everyone that bothers to get an education turns out like that.

It's not the beginning or the end, but the most contributing factor that can most easily be removed.

Please just watch it and then reply. Let's stop going in circles.
My stance is based on my sugar intake. If sugar was the most contributing factor then I would be a huge tub of shit.

How could the video convince me of any of that when I enjoy sugary goodness and I manage to keep off the fat.

I don't think any of them will watch the video.

First of all, even the original version was created by a person. So how could you accept that one but not the modern day definition? It is only incorrect if you deem it to be. The rest of the world lives by it.
Maybe because he coined the phrase? Dontknow

Second, the game itself doesn't enhance preparedness. The work that must be put into yourself to better equip you for the next game is the preparedness. The drive to do better is the preparedness. If you settle for being one of the first people to get knocked out at this young age then that mentality will follow you through life. These types of kids don't have any interest in enhancing themselves. They have no interest in bettering themselves. This theme will repeat for the rest of their life unless they finally realize that you get out only what you put in. This game is real life whether you want to see it or not.
Oh yeah, you're absolutely right. It's because they have zero drive to improve themselves throughout the rest of their life, and that starts in elementary school because they hate little snot-nosed kids throwing rubber balls at them. Sure, that make total sense. Thumbup

I might just yank and take your chain. Sometimes we tie the baby up as the tetherball too. Since he's gotten so fat off of sugar and formula he broke the tetherball rope and I need a chain now. The rope just won't hold any more.

Your kids will still never play dodgeball the way we did though, they don't even go to school. That was my point from the beginning. Tongue

This was your accusation:

You still haven't shown me where I said that "everyone that bothers to get an education turns out exactly like that".

And my kids don't actually play dodgeball. Again, it was a joke. But now I'm curious as to how you guys played it in school.

No one liked Mal*, so they'd beat her with the ball, so she's against it now.
