I’ve lost over 200 pounds over the last 30 months. Started at 402 pounds. Currently 198.
Congratulations
Whole F.
Amazing.
Just be careful mate ... my brother was massive ..then lost 35kg ... approx 77lbs looked great for 2 years now is bigger than ever. His issue was portion control he never solved that when thin he was just on some sort of diet .. Atkins ? I think. It dropps the weight but doesnt adress the root cause.
Im glad you shed the weight but now work on the underlying causes and keep it off. The ppl you love will thank you for it.
If ever someone tries to make fun of the loose skin tell them ur gonna steal their skin and look like Thor lmfao. Great fucking work mate!
@@ferdtheterd3897 The loose skin is impressively minimal. I have built a shit ton of muscle.
Finally, content from a young person who thinks things through. Your opinion matters, whether I agree or not. Well done.
I agree. Listening and not taking things at face value is so lacking these days. It was nice to see.
"...whether I agree or not" is so crucial! You're awesome!
"Exercising has a positive effect for one's mental health." - Very true. I've been running all year this year and it was an anchor in a challenging year.
I absolutely agree, I think why some struggle to exercise regularly is because they haven't yet found something they actually enjoy doing. Some people can't imagine exercise to be fun and give up too early before exploring everything that's out there.
I'm an avid cyclist and I can confirm this is true. Mountain biking and/or road biking are both excellent forms of mental therapy. Scientifically proven to make your body produce more dopamine, thus improving your mood.
I just found your channel and, after watching a few of your uploads, I felt compelled to subscribe and comment. I just wanted to say that I find it very refreshing that you engage your audience in a dialogue of critical thought rather than theatrics as so many reaction channels do. Don’t get me wrong, depending on the person, theatrics can be very entertaining. However, I don’t get the sense that they’re really thinking about what they’re viewing as much as they are putting on a performance for the people viewing them. Does that make sense? Anyway, you have a new fan. I’m not going to suggest things for you to watch and critique as I would rather discover new things along with you. Keep up the good work
Well this is very kind! I'm not a very theatrical person, lol glad to read that this fact doesn't bother. This compliment is not lost on me, Barry. Thank you for watching (:
@@NoProtocol no intro!
52 UK 'white dude' I enjoy an open minded 'younger' =]8¬_D
BTW Goggins is destroying his body in part. [ that knee fluid is gross ]
Well said. I've been thinking the same thing.
Well said Barry
I stopped drinking soft drinks and I cut out fast food and limited my bread and I lost 50 lbs in just a few months and I feel much better and can do more. It’s not that difficult. I had to kill my ego. After that it just came naturally.
50 lbs is quite the feat! This is awesome for you (:
I also lost 50 lbs (went from 280 to 230) in 2 or 3 months. It was a combination of low carb (atkins/keto), smaller meals (sometimes 2 if I wasn't hungry at night), and a lot of exercise. I literally enrolled in UFC fighter, Derek Brunson's MMA gym. I do an hour of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, an hour of kickboxing, and just started the Cardio Kickboxing, so 2-3 hours of exercise from Monday through Thursday, and also lift weights 5 days a week. I was typically losing 5 lbs a week up until I got to 225 (I'm 6'2" with wide shoulders and big bones, so 225 lbs is already a flat stomach and seeing my abs). Now it is about 3-4 lbs a week.
Anyhow, I am always floored when people make excuses for not losing weight. It isn't hard if you are serious, and if doctors were honest with fatties about the horrible life-altering diseases they can get and their life expectancy, they would have more of a reason to try to lose weight.
@@unidentifiedguy8253 You must feel great man! Keep at it, you'll only feel even better. Watch out for those injuries though! Remember to kill that ego and tap when you need to.
Beautiful! :) Well done!
Not to brag, I lost 100lbs right before this whole fat acceptance bullshit started. When I see things like articles that say working out is somehow sexist or bad for you and apparently how meat is unhealthy, I just laugh it off. But at the same time I feel bad because I know how much it sucks to be fat, and a lot of these people want to lose weight but the media makes it nearly impossible for them. Personally theres no better feeling than being shredded and feeling good without a shirt on.
As a child in the 60's, I recall going to McDonalds and the average meal was a hamburger (the small one on today's menu), fries (again the 'small' by today's meal standard), and a drink (maybe 12 oz). When the Big Mac came out, we were amazed by the size of it. My parents would share one because it was so large to us (no, we weren't poor either). Same with the 7/11 Big Gulp. When that came out my friends and thought it was ridiculous - 'who can drink so much pop' we thought...
Change back from your dollar was the McDonald’s ad of that time. A cheeseburger fries and milkshake cost about $.92 total including tax. And you had your food before they could hand you your change.
@@drunkbuzzard3237 Now you have to wait 20 minutes to get your food and it costs you 15$ for a burger fries and drink. Burger king is better
Remember when the 750 ml (26 oz, I think?) was the BIG coke. Then...1.5 litres?? Holy crap! Glass bottles, too.
"I think we overuse that suffix" -- you sure said it.
The biggest issue in the USA regarding this is what you said, the processed chemicals and sugar in so many foods, but also PORTION SIZE! No other country in the world is it so normalized to have giant servings, and even promoted!
I agree with you about the Nike ad. They aren’t being “body positive” they are supportive of a healthy lifestyle.
Nike and others are supportive of a healthy bottom line.
@@eddieevans6692 i think in many cases u can do both
.I've been very overweight for most of my life. A few years ago in 2019, I reached a peak of over 405 pounds. Then, I finally decided to do something about it. I stopped eating as often and tried to only eat once or twice a day. I never went to the gym and I didn't count calories or eat "healthy food" or control portion size. The only exercise I got was from walking and having a physically demanding job. By 2021 I was down to 215 pounds. Since then, my weight has gone up and down and now I am around 265 pounds, so I am still overweight. I am tall, but I should probably weigh less than 200 pounds. Even so, I feel better physically and mentally than I have in decades (most of the time) and weigh less than I did 20 years ago. I'm 42 now, and look forward to eventually being at a healthy weight.
I was "body positive" until I got diabetes.
I almost never agree with Bill politically but more often agree with him on social issues. I think he is fairly right with this one. I have had friends who had weight problems and most struggled but won. The ones who didn't fight it are not with us anymore due to issues associated with it. So, to me it is a little important because I want people around me to live and be happy. Another really interesting video young lady. Keep up the great work.
loving one's self does not equate to making no effort or giving up on something difficult. you can love yourself AND acknowledge that you also have things to work on.
@Sol Nangu agreed! that is exactly the attitude most need to adopt nowadays. too many people rationalizing mediocrity...
About the Nike ad. Nike (Νίκη in greek) means victory, or the goddess of it too. I like Nike's motto too (Just do it). Yes it is a great ad campaign but it does motivate people simply as that. I loved the gym that I was going to because of a board on the wall having clearly written rules about not staring OR saying dumb idiotic things to out of shape people that are trying their best.
That gym has an honest positive climate amongst people trying to get or stay fit. Everyone would be respectful to one another and help each other with exercises and weight lifting without necessarily being aquainted. That made each one of us appreciate and respect the effort that people put into staying healthy. Plus it is WAY more fun when everyone is happy and smiling while sweaty lol.
I really like your views. You've grown to be the only reaction channel I:m actively watching
I personally find the most attractive qualities in a person to be intelligence, eloquence, honesty, directness, cleanliness and physical appearance. You seem to tick all the boxes and make me wish I were 50 years younger.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your library of content, and I’m blown away by your well-adjusted wit, knowledge, intellect and wisdom. Your always smiling attitude, thoughtful engagement and a wink at the end are enough to keep my attention and wanting more. You’re quite an impressive person, young lady, and I look forward to hearing your insights into whatever is next.
Well said. Sugar really is a huge problem. Insulin release causes fat storage far greater than fat itself ironically. Cals in Cals out is mostly true but only mostly.
For all UA-cam streamers out there, I feel you a one that deserves follows and support and views 👏 ❤
Nike has always made clothing for the extra large ( I am one), but the inclusion in the commercials doesn't do them any favors in my opinion. It's not an affliction that only plagues the U.S. true, but I was in Russia a few years ago and it is rare to see a fat person and I mean rare. They also don't have 24 hour fast food on every corner. Maple bars ftw!!! Great video!
I’m so glad I found your channel. So refreshing to hear from an intelligent, grounded, critical thinker.
Love your content and balanced approach! Looking forward to more. ...and I'm totally with you on the chocolate custard filled!
Finally, someone who appreciates a custard filled!! Thanks Carlos (:
A classic glazed, or plain donut are my go to. A blueberry if I'm feeling froggy.
It’s a great point to bring up that healthy food tends to be more expensive than unhealthy options. It causes a great impact on obesity in impoverished neighborhoods.
It's not the low price but the abundance of junk food and the lack of preparation that goes into it. Oh and the are purposefully designed to be addictive.
@@u1rtc7t5f64t157856v8 I'd say we're both correct TBH
@@logicallydashing probably
It's the lifestyle, when I lived in India when I was younger you will hardly see a fat person, now with all the fast food joints, transport, electronics, net It's killing us.
Thank you for presenting your clear, rationale opinions.
You had me hooked on the quick intro, but I appreciate your balanced perspective even more. New sub!
Custard filled long John with chocolate icing is the only acceptable choice. Unless you’re having cider then you have to have a warm cinnamon and sugar dusted donut.
Smartest reactor on UA-cam!! Love what you are doing!! Keep it up. Peace
Lemon filled are me FAVORITE!!! I Adore your reactions!! Ia m SO happy I found your channel!
Bill Maher has a lot of facts that I agree with. Most people still stuck on left vs right though.
Have started watching many of your videos and I am very impressed. Interesting topics, and reactions. You are always a much watch (and listen).
i agree with your devils advocate point on Nikes. Representation isnt necessarily saying that those people are the goal, that kind of thinking seems awfully similar to people who think that just because you agreed with one thing a person said you suddenly support everything theyve said and done. things are usually more nuanced than that
Very good point
Posting a link to your cast on my page. You are absolutely brilliant! Astonishingly brilliant! I MUST share you with the people I care about!
Your a very wise young lady. Also i liked how you added a different perspective to what Bill was saying. Not as much sugar and additives in the 60s so true, also the part about Nike makes sense. Favourite cake anything chocolate 👍 keep doing what you doing, and I’ll stay subbed 👍
Thank you for providing your perspective. I genuinely appreciate it!
You have one of the most infectious smiles I have ever seen. Every time you smile, I catch myself also smiling.
Biologist here. It’s not just because we eat too much and don’t exercise as much. That is a factor, but mostly we don’t eat enough of the right types of protein, which ruins satiety, we eat too many processed oils, grains and sugar, and we have high heavy metal and environmental toxicity exposure, as well as mineral deficiencies from depleted soils. All of these contribute to satiety disregulation, damaged metabolism and overal metabolic health, gut lining integrity, inflammation of pretty much every organ, including the brain, etc. I had to work on all of these factors to get my health and my weight right. It varies from person to person, but I have now helped dozens of people ranging from mild issues to some of the most severe cases using this approach, which is designed to adapt to individual cases. We may all be different to a degree, but within limited ranges, being that we’re all human.
I first became aware of David Goggins whenhe was interviewed by Joe Rogan. His story was fascinating. That interview or parts of it might make for a good reaction video. :)
THANK YOU !!!
I was observing this a few days ago, it's sad even young kids. I'm overweight myself but not fat, just a big frame that's somewhat in good shape
I subbed because of the no intro, I always skip them anyways 😆 I enjoy your commentary too!
Thanks for this, your insights are nice to read :)
I was always overweight in my life. It was never so bad that I couldn't go hiking in the mountains or couldn't ride my bike anymore, but it has always been there. Before the big pandemic broke out, I had a phase of actually putting effort into getting stronger and eating more healthy and my body and mind both felt a lot better. Unfortunately, with the gym closing during the pandemic and other private issues happening at the same time, I dropped all of these things and went back to my old lazy habits. Fast forward a few months, I was writing my master's thesis and my body was hating me for it. The stress made me bloat up everytime I ate something, and acid was getting so bad that I couldn't really go to bed without taking anti-acid pills. During that time my girlfriend basically told me that I look like I've gotten fatter, to which my initial reaction was being angry. But after just a few minutes I changed my mind and thought "No, she is actually right". I thanked her for telling me, because I know she didn't say it to insult me. Now, a couple of weeks ago I finally found the strength and motivation again to excercise more and go on a diet plan, and I am already feeling like progress is happening.
The biggest lie I told myself was that "I can drink some sugary drinks, it is only 200 calories a day" and "I am not even eating that much / that unhealthy". If you don't actively pay attention to what you consume, you EASILY eat over your required calories, specially if you like sweet drinks or the occasional snack.
Now that I started counting calories and paying attention to what I eat, I can eat until I'm full and still not have excess calories. Just by not drinking sugary drinks anymore, I save 200-300 calories a day. Just by eating a bit more healthy, I can feel full, but not bloated and tired after eating.
Being overweight doesn't make you a bad person, but I think telling ourselves that we shouldn't do anything against being overweight because some people are too lazy to try is dangerous. That is like telling people to keep drinking too much alcohol because I can't be bothered to quit my own drinking. Everyone would tell you "That's stupid", but for some reason when it comes to our visible bodies it is suddenly a thing of "acceptance"
My journey just started, so I am far from done. But I hope that I can go all the way this time.
Good luck mate. Im Genuinely rooting for you.
just as an added bonus, the bad part of sugary drinks isn't even the calories, sugar is ultra-bad for you so you're getting a big benefit from quitting those beyond just the caloric lack.
I don't know how the monetary side of channels like this work, but I sincerely hope you are doing well with it. This is the most insightful and intelligent reaction channel I have found to date: an instant favorite.
So yeah the main thing here is there's a difference between body positivity and fitness. Someone who is morbidly obese and wildly out of shape may or may not be body positive just as someone who is in amazing shape may or may not be body positive.
People often have an unhealthy view of themselves when they perceive that they don't measure up to some external measure of physical beauty and everyone is susceptible to this.
So while it's totally cool to be body positive regardless of your physique, it's also totally cool to make fitness a priority and fitness has a gigantic amount of add on bonus effects.
Love the way you comment on the videos. So good.
I'm back, just subscribed! Intelligent, incredibly articulate, and OMG BEAUTIFUL!
Hell yeah glad I found your channel you're sharp, enjoying your reactions.
Honestly my favourite donut is just a basic boring ass plain cake donut (provided I have coffee to dip it in), otherwise I'm a big fan of pumpkin and apple cider donuts
This was a fantastic video!
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, what a beautiful person you are, your thoughtful intect and articulation makes you even more. ❤ from 🇨🇦
Wow, thank you Gracie (:
I found this channel and it’s very interesting and informative, you’re brilliant… I love listening to you and keep up with the great content..…! Love From Nigeria 🇳🇬 !
I’m a new subscriber found your channel 2 days ago. Enjoy your dialogue. The part about weight being a problem for the military is correct. This was reported during the Obama administration. One of the reasons for Michelle Obamas get fit program.
Healthy is not more expensive, It MAY require more preparation in order to taste good (adding more flavor), but definitely not more money.
I love no intro ..straight to the content
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
I love that there are thinking people, well spoken, hopefully there more people like you. I like you )
You the one padewan our way to knowleadgeable for your age. An old soul in a young body. So open minded to listen but give very insightful views from people that our of the opinions of both left, right, and center. Do not change because the world right now lacks people of your thought. I do love how you said that healthy food is expensive and bad food is not, your so right.
I really enjoy your takes after the videos. You seem to be really intelligent and you actually listen to what is being said in a video instead of just jumping the gun and hating on something because it doesn't go along with what you like.
Hi, UK here. I have watched a few of your vids and I have subscribed. You are very much like my daughter, the similarities are freakishly similar. I look forward to watching more from you. Take care of yourself and good job. X
Again you get me with no long intro👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
It's not just about the foods from the past (although people were much more likely to eat home cooked meals rather than fast or prepared foods) it also has much to do with our growing sedimentary lifestyles. As technology bursts ahead, the physical demands of our everyday lives become less and less. Kids don't play outside anymore, but rather stay in to play video games or chat online with friends. This creates a lifestyle that continues on into adulthood.
Anyone in the gym that is trying deserves respect for that fact. Many people will never make the effort. If they are healthier at the end of it but the same weight, they have still succeeded.
Well, per definition:
"A phobia is an anxiety disorder defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation."
So yeah, term "phobia" is khem "a bit" overused nowdays ;)
Good point about Nike. I hadn't thought about that, thanks.
Favourite doughnut is from a local bakery, Chocolate frosting topping with little pieces of crispy meringue on top, with a salted caramel filling
I agree If I miss a workout I feel incomplete. Been working out 7 days a week for the last 15 years. It’s like brushing my teeth in the morning.
Thanks for another great and insightful review
There was a movement in the 60’s by the government and most people pushed this too and this is why people stayed thinner. Also as they are proving now, our food caused over 95% of these “underlying factors.” We are then using those ailments as crutches, instead of lowering our consumption.. Remember that 100lbs of fat can feed you for a year
Goggin's book was stunning. You are consistently thoughtful...best I have seen.
omg custard filled and jelly filled are my Achilles heal, bear claws and apple fritters are amazing too.
I'll have to do some digging, but I read an article about how your friends that give you the most grief over things are the friends that care the deepest for you. So far, at least anecdotally, I've found that to be true both of myself and of my closest friends. Me telling an overweight friend about my concern isn't hate speech, and I've done it before. Great video.
One of the most decadent foods I've had is the Oreo donut at Krispy Kreme. It's cream filled, with icing and Oreo crumbled on top.
I try not to over do sweets. I like a little bit after a meal.
Bill Maher is awesome with his point of view. He doesn't care if you're left or right, red or blue, democrat or republican. He WILL call you on your BS no matter what. Even if you don't care about his political views, his weekly segment, "New Rules, which is where the clip is from, is amazing every time and very eye-opening. Even if you don't watch his entire show, ANY of these "New Rules" segments are definitely worth watching.
May I say how much I absolutely love your logic and interjecting it into your videos. It has become such a rarity, like finding a diamond amongst the coals.
i first came across this quote with Covid 19, but it fits here
"they said follow the Science, but i couldn't find it,
So i followed the Money and there was the Science"
Poor diet and eating portions are given too much of the focus of blame when equally as responsible for obesity is how sedentary our lifestyles are compared to decades ago.
Curioso de que todos esta clase de activismo provengan de lugares del primer mundo en el resto de los lugares la gente se preocupa por otras cosas. De chico era gordo y con esfuerzo pude cambiar eso y no creo que el body positivity movent ayude realmente. Otro excelente video y todo un placer volver a verte.
10:50 thank you! You made a great point about the gym too ( he could have had the same insight into being drafted for service too as no one starts out as a fully fit soldier ). Kindness is the key, because this (new wave) of Health ..sic could easily turn into bullying.
I was a cola junkie in my youth. I have not gotten diabetes thank god but I simple can't have it anymore, it is literally liquid sugar with a a flavor. I can thankfully now and then have a doughnut and I'm pretty pedestrian, a raise glaze or a cinnamon roll. The roll at my local bakery is unique because it is made of the left over trimmings of Portuguese bread dough, nice.
So I'm a marine from a long time ago and I can tell you there is a limit to what will be accepted into the Marines as far as somebody being overweight. You don't have to be super fit but you have to fit certain parameters or they just wouldn't make it through boot camp
Semper Fi brother!!! 🇺🇲
And after? Once you are in, how often do you have to be tested for fitness?
@@unclebubbaknowseverything9143 oorah
@@lawrencefrost9063 all of boot camp is a test. All 13 weeks. I mean we have physical fitness tests but I can't remember how often it happened. I've been out for 25 years. All I know is we had a guy in are platoon that was a little overweight and he couldn't do one pull up. At the end of boot camp he had lost 40 lb and could do 7 or 8 pull-ups in a row.
I was that guy!! I came into boot camp at 6'/219lbs. I graduated at 6'/176lbs... I was a "diet recruit". On graduation day I stood three feet and face to face with my own mother... She looked right past me.. I said "Mom!" She didn't recognize me!! Then she yelled " Oh My GOD!!! THEY GAVE YOU AIDS!!!" LOL 😂
My “gosh”. You’re a goddess and bright. Thanks for showing up.
Great reaction👍
I recognise your scar, it's one of the reasons I feel such a connection to you, love your channel!
This was cool and everything but how good are donuts though 🤔
Have a great week, hope for more uploads this weeks 🙌
I'm little late on this, but do you know that the country I'm from, France, had the largest intake in animal grease, or to be not so polite, lard? But the lowest on sugar? And it had the lowest proportion of heart failures of all European countries?
Sugar is killing us. You can drink a liter of olive oil a day, and as much animal fats as you like, and then you exercise. Farmers here used to eat a whole wheat "baguette" at breakfast, covered in what we call "rillette", then went to work on the farm. And they happily lived to 90, at least until the pesticides killed them.
Enough said, my dear.
Love your channel.
Youre right about the Nike ad, well put
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for skipping the " Please like and subscribe." Also getting right to it. I hate it when they tell me at the beginning what I read in the title and is the reason why I clicked on it.
A while back there was a brand of donuts named Dutch Mill. They were found in supermarkets and specialty stores, and came in a blue box (8 to a box). They were dangerous: plain, glazed, powdered, chocolate, they were all good. I haven't found them for years now. That is a good thing. Also, I haven't had chips (potato or tortilla) since mid-July 2022. Working on cutting back sugar more now, starting with not ordering cakes and other desserts from catalogs; I live alone, so why do I need a 3-pound coffee cake in the apartment? I lost 10 pounds of muscle due to COVID in 2020, and am actually fatter now, all of it around the middle, while weighing less than before as work schedule, various injuries and other factors have derailed my workouts. The workouts are my next frontier.
What a lot of people, Bill included, forget when discussing this topic is that food today lacks the nutrients they used to have, so people eat more to try and get the same nutrients less food provided 50 years ago. And yes, nutrient-rich foods cost a lot more today than the cheap ones that lack nutrients. Also, stressing people out by constantly harping on their weight will not help them lose weight (or gain for the skinny people out there getting harassed).
Being kind is actually the right way to go here if you want people you love to lose weight. People trying to adjust their weight in either direction need to be encouraged to be happy at whatever weight they are at so they're not stressed out, which will help them gain/lose weight. They already know they need to do it. Other people can stop reminding them of it constantly. 🙄
Loved your reaction to this topic! I imagine you've gotten the thin harassment more than once in your life. I was harassed all through my youth for being too thin, then when my thyroid died and I gained 100 pounds in a month (without eating any more food), people switched and started harassing me for being overweight. Can't win, and hearing all that nonsense from others doesn't help at all. 🙃
You have a great perspective on life.
you are quite well-spoken and have a very balanced view.
David goggins is a man all people should look up to.
Sign at a railway station
"Apathy is the downfall of this country"
And someone wrote underneath it
"Yes but who cares"
I think it sums it up
There is plenty of medical science pointing to processed sugar as one of the main problems.
Ninety year old fat person - my aunt was obese most of her life, got close to ninety, but was physically miserable for the last twenty years of it. I really miss her.
One factor is the amount of fats, sugar and sodium that is in our foods/snacks. I lived in Japan and South Korea for a number of years and adjusted to their diet which is generally lower in sugar and salt. Their Pastries are less sweet and chips less salty. Even their sodas are less sweet. I lost weight just from eating what the locals ate which was mainly fish, rice, and lots of veggies.
Love and appreciate your intelligence...
ooo maple bars. Not my key take away from the video but damn did that fire up a craving.
keep doing you girl!
Truer words have never been spoken.
There are a lot of differences between the food people eat now and when I was a kid. Everything was homemade when I was a kid. We didn't have sugary cereals, we had puffed rice. Not Rice Krispies. Puffed Rice. It was bland, it was boring, but it was a lot healthier. We, and most of the people we knew had a garden. How many people that you know have a vegetable garden in 2022? We didn't buy prepared lasagna you microwave that's full of sugar and preservatives. We assembled it fresh. Fast food was a treat every once in a while if I got good grades, not a daily routine because you just don't want to have to cook.
People looked different back in the old days because the portion sizes were smaller, there was less sugar in everything, people practiced healthier lifestyles. The obesity problem isn't just a complaceny problem. It's also because the food industry has been able to run amok through our lives. Manipulative ads with bright colors and fun characters. Highly refined sugars that get the hooks in and set up pattern behavior young. Pushing a consume more more more mentality. The fact a 16oz bottle of water cost 1.59 and a 64oz sugary soda is only a buck speaks for itself.
I absolutely love your mind
I like your video..thanks for be honest. What you said about the company's marketing to big sizes for people to go an exercise, your view is correct but other is the company's only see marketing and they know many people just going to used for comfort and not to exercise. They knew the big size market is big and they want a piece of it. Companies are move by profits. I going to continue watching your videos..👍
6:26 yes agreed, although advertisement traditionally has been thought to be about selling a fantasy and I think Bill was arguing that unhealthy BMI shouldn't be presented as something to strive for. what he might've missed though is that it all comes down to numbers, it's pretty rare that ads create brand new markets, most of it sells to existing demand. they very likely made studies and found out that markets are now ready to buy the overweight image and if it sells it gets advertised to. quarterly economy is like the Borg from Star Trek, there's no morals, resistance is futile.
