that's not how it works. let me guess you also don't take good advice from anyone smaller than you

Depends on what the advice is about. If it’s about getting big, not likely. If they are a coach who used to be super fit and jacked, I likely would still listen critically.

Also however you think it “works” it clearly does not. America just went through its most unhealthy era despite having more resources allocated to “heath” than we ever had in the past.

Don’t sweat it #2, #1 appears to have some issue with his eyes… and acknowledging the results of one of the competitions that is perhaps one of the most scientifically and athletically intensive. To him, it appears whomever the establishment says is healthy and smart, is healthy and smart. He’s still caught in a 1984 loop.

OP 46w

the establishment doesn't say that official is healthy though. they don't say that. they say she is qualified to judge what is and is not healthy, which is entirely different. same as how a doctor who smokes is still qualified to give you medical care.

no they aren't. someone can be a health expert while making unhealthy choices. plenty of doctors smoke and do drugs, but no one cares. their education is what matters.

yes. and which one of these is most comparable to a government official? a doctor. and the original thread is about a government official, and i am arguing that their obesity means nothing about their qualifications. personal trainers are a different story

Anonymous 45w

"being obese" and "being educated enough on public health policy to lead a government office" are not mutually exclusive. so yes, their obesity means nothing about their fitness for the job

Anonymous 45w

do you think every obese person knows nothing about health? do you think being obese cancels out formal education about health? and yes, if they were a registered dietitian i would. because that's the qualification that counts, not their body size. would you trust a random thin person to give you a diet plan? no, because random thin people can't be trusted to know what they're doing because they lack the training.
