From:

I became not-fat by taking up running, at nearly 50 miles a week. Now I have MS, I can barely walk 1 mile; now I'm fat again. Sure I could eat less; and be hungry all the time and incapable of doing my thinking-heavy job... but no, don't wanna. And so chronic disease --> inactivity --> fatness --> cancer may be my future.

Maybe if the world were different and food availability was different, but more people being more rude is not going to help.

Long term sustained weight loss is rare, and the CRUK pretending it is an easy matter of taking short walks isn't helping one bit.

I am not certain why stating that obesity is a cancer risk would be considered rude, but different cultures of course have different attitudes to health maintenance, and different preferred approaches to the situation.

Very cool, if true
