    To be quite frank, you don’t need to afford any of those things to not be obese.

      Doesn’t really matter either way. It’s none of our business, their body isn’t harming anyone else. Criticize the things they actually do wrong, never their body.

      I’m not saying this because I have any compassion for Musk. I just think we should get past body shaming, and that won’t work unless we make it so body shaming is NEVER ok.

      I am in good shape, literally writing this from the gym. If you’re making minimum wage, work excessive hours in a sedentary job, live in a food desert and have shitty genes it’s incredibly difficult to not be obese. But that’s besides the point of the thread, I’d rather not get into it

        Really is the shortest you can sum up the reality of it. (w/o dismissing agency of course, but this crowd gets it)

      To be quite frank, you are very ignorant. It’s the same as saying you don’t need right conditions to be a billionaire, just catch your moment. Or that you don’t need to afford any of these to grow a 3-meter dick.

      Problems with eyesight and weak muscles and what not also depend on genes a lot.

      I can understand you don’t personally see anything morally wrong with Elon Musk, but people around hate him, so must find some reason to join the herd.

        Wow buddy, back up. I said that you don’t need to afford a personal trainer and chef in order to not be obese, and you concluded that I don’t see anything morally wrong with Musk?

        Let’s make one thing perfectly clear: I’ll mark the day Musk dies on a calendar and celebrate it each year.

        Go touch some grass.

          And you are wrong, it’s usually genetic predisposition more than anything else.

          Let’s make one thing perfectly clear: I’ll mark the day Musk dies on a calendar and celebrate it each year.

          Suppose there’s a person thinking obese people just don’t try hard enough, or that people with bad eyesight should just eat more carrots, or that people with ADHD should just eat more fish. Why would such a person see anything wrong with Musk? Actually they shouldn’t.
