Cycling has a weight problem: a call for the industry to be more transparent about its weight limits
  • I know everyone likes to be mean, but let's be creative here: It's not just the stereotypical fat American. Look at our athletes and body builders, a lot of people who could possibly be in these terms are healthy by all metrics; some Americans are just taller and more muscular.

    I'm not downplaying the obesity epidemic, but I feel like a more generic term is appropriate here.

    Perspectives keep rapidly changing
  • Alternatively: Capitalism has robbed the working class of any time for exercise while simultaneously pushing food that is dirt cheap to make with artificial additives that lead to excess consumption.

  • I disagree, I feel like this is an attempt to inject emotion and empathy into a topic that usually garners hostility. Think of the people usually reading The Wallstreet Journal: it's not anyone young you imagine, perhaps someone with terms like "commies" still in lingo from the 70s and 80s?

    I read this as an attempt to humanize a group that their target audience would usually alienate. The photos help with generating those emotions.

    I don't trust most democrats either at this point.

  • Longtallsally sells women's clothing meant for us tall girls. I ordered stuff from them, usually off the discount.

    Healthy work/life balance
  • Has no one in this thread never considered the root cause with these:

    Anxiety. Americans are an anxious society. And that is with good cause, no social safety net, work 2 jobs to get ahead and a mass shooting every goddamn day.
