"SHE WILL ATTRACT BEARS."
OMG! WHAT A TEASE!? DID SHE CHEW THE GUM OR NOT!
Based on the comment I can't if you are a girl or a guy. " as the boyfriend of a professional chef.."..then "My GF's Chef's". lol
I've created a helpful chart for Walter.
I haven't even read all of this yet, but I just had to say I'm stealing Qcumber. That is amazing.
I am really surprised that commenters think models have to be very fit! As a very athletic woman who works with models during my day job and had a couple very close friends who were successful models, I can tell you with certainty that they are not actually allowed to get muscles! It is a big no-no and my friends had…
Thanks for putting your finger on exactly what bothers me about this.
I tricked a sad amount of people with this. As a former writing teacher with friends who range from high school English teachers to college professors of literature, it kind of disappointed me tbh.
You speak Kylie Jenner, too?!? I thought there were only a few of us left to translate bullshit for the rest of the world.
I just looked up the Planet Fitness closest to me (in a poor area in Chicago). There's a $39 start up fee plus $19.99/month plus a $39/year fee. That's $60 for your first month and you also have to make a year long commitment, which isn't possible for lots of poor folks. Not to mention that then you have to have the…
A lot of diet pills are MUCH cheaper than that. Also, even if the overall cost is similar, you don't take into account the fact that poverty means low pay, unstable income, and cycles of debt - which means you can have a few extra dollars here and there to spend on diet pills, but not the hundreds of dollars needed in…
Well, another factor might be that you can buy diet pills with straight cash, whereas many gyms require you to put down a credit card to automatically pay your membership fee each month. And many poor people can't get credit cards or are already in over their heads with credit card debt.
Gym count on people NOT going though, as part f the business model. Multiple $10 by 2000 members, about which 1200-1400 DON'T GO on a regular basis. Ka-Ching!
Bodies actually get incredibly efficient at any movement they do daily, so you'd be surprised how few calories someone could end up burning once they're on the job for a while. It's the same reason people who bike to work eventually stop losing weight from it.
But you can bet there will still be people commenting on this article saying, "no no, they're just lazy. If they really wanted to lose weight, they would make time!"
A lot of minimum-wage jobs (fast food worker, cashier, etc) involve spending the majority of time on your feet, also. When I was working as a cashier, the last thing I wanted to do after a shift was go for a walk or to the gym. I hadn't burned a lot of calories, but I had just spent anywhere from 4 to 10 hours on my…
Poor diet is the biggest detriment to poor people obviously...no matter how much you work out if you can only afford fast food and cheap groceries than you will never lose the weight, most likely develop diabetes, and not develop a positive body images...being poor stinks :(
Add in the fact that food is one of the few affordable, easy-to-acquire, use-anytime things that people can use to comfort ourselves, and of freaking course we're always stuffing ourselves. We can't drink booze, smoke cigarettes, or use drugs at work, and sex isn't always easy to come by, but chocolate gives you a…
As someone who works at a law firm, let me assure you: rich-ass lady lawyers luuuuuuuuurve their diet pills.
