@gwynneplaine@fitnessfeelingz People that have never tried or succeeded at losing a lot of weight are more likely to have a simplistic view along the lines of "I think eating bad things will make you fat" which is actually a lot closer to the truth
@gwynneplaine@fitnessfeelingz I think fat people are more likely to be plugged into the "carbs alone make people fat" or "calories alone make people fat" matrices since they've likely made some effort to not be fat in the past that indoctrinated them into these approaches
@Empty_America US businesses are essentially not allowed to do business anywhere that requires any sort of bribes to operate smoothly per the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. EU countries have similar legislations. This shuts them all out of most of the developed world.
@LandsharkRides Vietnam war movies frequently gloss this excuse as well; if a colonel is showing up in such a movie he can be stupid, because it's a level of seniority that would mean he signed up in peacetime
@LandsharkRides I think you can get away with it if you heavily imply it's only the out of touch *peacetime military* types that are stupid and not the Americans who join specifically to see combat
