He’s a libertarian, so of course he’s all about personal responsibility, etc.
The article isn’t suggesting that obesity isn’t a comorbidity. It’s saying that structural, systemic issues help lead to obesity. People love unhealthy food all over the world. Why is the situation worse in the U.S.? The CEO of Whole Foods is blaming the individual. Kelly is only pointing out that no one lives in a…
No one’s arguing with the importance of a healthy lifestyle, it’s just that a healthy lifestyle is not equally accessible, and is completely inaccessible to many. It is not a “personal choice” for most people, and when it is framed as such that’s when people get “attacked by the left.” The targets should be systemic…
OMG he really did say that. It is the most offensive thing in an extremely offensive interview.
The point isn’t that obesity is a risk factor - the point is that the Whole Foods CEO has absolutely no right to make the point and blame obesity on the people who have it. The fault (in the vast majority of cases) is not theirs, it’s on the systems that have made fresh food and healthcare unaffordable and…
Honestly, we’re already in the war. It’s just not going to look like guns on a battlefield, it looks like the white supremacist who murdered Heather Heyer by driving into a protesting crowd.
That’s assuming your side wins. The alternative is you lose the civil war, and in place of the current system, you get a shiny new theocracy. Think Iran in the 1980s.
People who say, “French fried potatoes” instead of just “french fries” are 100% serial killers.
I bet 85% of Americans can’t afford to shop for food at this guy’s stores.
I didn’t miss that. As I said in my comment, the piece mentions what CAN happen, not what DID happen.
this humble brag smells like French bread.
American work culture is unique. We are probably the only country in the world that is obsessed with others believing we have a good work ethic. Even in Asian countries where people work an obscene amount of hours, they are not doing it because they want to be better than their peers.
I think this is entirely about you…
I’d like to think that’s true.
This letter made me smile. As you note, last-person-standing work competition is not a universal condition. I work with a great team of about a dozen people who largely just want to get it done. We have a big impact in our tiny niche of the world. We are doubly fortunate that our work is recognized and supported all…
This is a Penthouse Forum letter without the sex.
I’m more interested in the response by Fuck-Up, wherein the answers to the great mysteries of life all seem to revolve around types of bread?
This is a lazy piece. You don’t explain how the man died from his licorice consumption: you just repeat a medical guideline about a potential health risk. Then you say it’s perfectly fine to go on eating licorice because this man’s death happened a while ago. What, have we developed licorice herd immunity since then?…
And whenever the time comes for the next round of conservative contenders of color to be counted, Daniel Cameron is itching and inching to be first in line.
everyone still in deep passionate love with capitalism?
