From today’s post:
Eating “good food” (as a person can) should be it’s own reward. Having something that tastes good and is healthy (as we currently understand healthy, because that descriptor seems to change all the time) is something that should be a no-brainer.
From today’s post:
[T]he OP asks if an otherwise sedentary guy who walks his dog is considered an athlete. I think the more pertinent question is whether that guy would call himself an athlete. Are there really people out there who are sedentary except for walking their dog, and who go around telling people that they’re athletes? Is this a problem we need to solve? Because I’m pretty sure we can all handle the process of labeling ourselves as athletes or not.
Might I suggest that we stop assuming that we, as outsiders, get to determine the labels we think others deserve? Can’t we stop dismissing those who are consistently training their bodies to achieve great feats simply because they don’t look the way you want them to? And can we please stop basing the concepts of fitness and health on one’s personal skill and competitive achievement, and instead ground our understanding of these concepts in the more relevant realms of physical effort and personal improvement?

Okay no… no I didn’t. I saw it on the side of the road and decided to steal it…

Clement Clarke Moore’s classic holiday poem has been parodied many times and a lot of them have to do with dieting. So I thought I would write my own version, where Santa Claus isn’t scolded for…
