The Daily Bitch

The health craze in this country is not for people in their right mind. I mean I have seen more money change hands to change a lifestyle then I have seen to buy cars. What is this country coming to? For some reason now the gov. has gotten involved by saying that more people are obese then ever before. Is this a suprise in the age of the "super-size combo?" I mean everywhere you look, the fast food joints are practically giving away food to get you into you their stores. The people are more then happy, for a mere 40 cents you can have 25% more food. Such a freaking deal! How can you pass it up?! Then there is the health food stores, why do all the people working there look they have one foot in the grave? If health food is so good, why do they look so bad? They are just as bad, some of these vegatarians. They have ways of making you quit eating meat by scaring you with all these little tidbits of nasty meat knowledge. They won't hesitate to tell you how chickens are slaughtered, from the moment they pick them off the ground to the point where the beaks and heads are ground up into different types of animal feed including CHICKEN FEED! And you know how many different chemicals there are in a piece of Beef. Yep, I've heard it all before and I'm sure I'll here it all again. When you look at the food they are promoting like TOFU. Just what the scrog is tofu? Bean curd? I know that cottage cheese has curds and you can make cheese curds, but how can a bean make a curd? Then there is the appearance. A square white block of jello. Can you say soylent green boys and girls? I knew you could. I have seen some of the ways that you can change tofu and disguise it into burgers, meatballs and other goodies. Some of these companies have done wonders with making that little block actually edible, and if you can forget it's tofu, you can enjoy it. I heard that tofu is the second most hated food in the United States. Go figure, it's so good for you!

So now, it's not that you should look like Arnold or Julia, but you should get yourself in shape. How come when I go to the gym, all I see is T-rex's (that a muscle -bound freaks, to you and me Sparky) and skinny little women? Speaking of T-rex's, what drives someone to put on that much muscle? Competition? That is an athelete? I'm sorry, poeple like Emmit Smith and Carl Sanders are athletes. I can see where they use those types of muscles and why they have them. Call me stupid, but I don't get it. I can see being built, you know, enough muscle to be considered strong. Not to where I can flex and show you every single muscle in the deltoid group. That's kind of scary. I mean I'll stand in awe looking at the guy and wish I was like that, but I want no part of the time investment. When I get to the gym where are the poeple that should be there? Maybe someone should open a gym aimed specifically at that "big" person out there. Maybe that's why alot of people don't go. All fat (yeah I'm talking about you) are very self concious and for as many as that would go and start trying to do something there are just as many who are lazy and don't care. So how can you expect them to go to these places and fear that everyone is staring and thinking "man that dude / lady is huge!" So they stay home and continue on their path of self-destruction. I actually like (I hate to say this) Richard Simmons, for the simple fact HE is the only skinny person on his tapes. He was once that size and knows what these people are thinking. It's not that way in the infomercials for the "thighmaster", "Buns of Steel", "Abs of Steel", you name it. Then take a look at the people hawking this junk. Do they look like they need it? You know full well they did not use JUST this "wonder" to achieve those results, but we are supposed to believe it. Why is this? We (as I'm one of those larger people) posses a great deal of buying power in this country. There should be a "fat revolution" where super models should be banned instead of worshipped. Those whores sold their soul to some demon of hunger to get those bodies and we follow right along wishing we were like that. We are made to feel ashamed and sinful for being our size, and being the sheep we are, we buy the whole lot. Super Size that for me would you? And make that a diet coke too.....

I’m done for today. Consider yourself "Bitched at."
