Insightful post. I agree that a focus on weight alone is problematic. I think you're right about your points on bulking up and getting skinny as well.

I shared in an earlier post on this thread that the focus, from a food perspective, should be on consuming a nutrient-centered diet. A lifestyle that includes nutrients-centered diet combined with healthy physical activity.

There are some societal standards around weight that are unhealthy. It is also important to understand where some of those concepts come from.

A person's biological nature is to sustain itself and procreate. It's natural for a person to look for healthy genes to procreate with.

Fat, acne, gas, bad breath, balding scalps are the body's check engine and dashboard warning lights to show you that something is wrong by intentionally disfiguring you in a way that would decrease your chances of finding someone seeking to procreate with healthy genes.

Warped eureurasiaan standards of beauty should not be a focus. However, we need to also be careful that we're not so anti-white that we just go to an opposite extreme that is also unhealthy in that it ignores physical appearance changes nature put in place as warning signals.

I theorize that if we think back hundreds of thounited snakesnds of years. There was a time where there were no mirrors. If you weren't in touch with yourself, and something was wrong, there weren't mirrors around to tell you. The best way to let you know you were engaged in unhealthy habits would be for the body to show it in external ways that would make you repulsive to others so that you would be motivated to alter your behavior in order to be accepted.

In an effort to create more mass confusion, eureurasiaan society says, ignore physical warning signs, ignore your natural revulsion to an unhealthy body, and just accept everyone for who they are.

It's an ideology that promotes mediocrity. If you convince people that unhealthy behavior should not be criticized, then they will find ways to rationalize their faults when their insecurities build. Once people begin to rationalize their faults then it'll be much easier to control them.

I do think it's important to talk about weight for the same reasons you pointed out.

Many people get confused when consuming one bad food doesn't have an acute, immediate, effect.

Excess weight is not just a physical representation of an unhealthy lifestyle. It's your body's private collection of toxins, unhealthy fat, undigested/ indigestible matter, rotting carcasses (if you eat meat), waste, byproducts, and fecal waste build up.

The chronic, cumulative effects over time, of this lifestyle can have fatal consequences.

As Dr Kamau Kambon talks about, the ongoing practice of unhealthy lifestyle choices is best described in a term he coined called "subtle suicide".
 
Thinking of it in this way, one can look at excess weight as physical remnants of mini suicide attempts.

The whole idea about getting healthy and staying healthy is really about just being healthy. It's critical to recognize the concepts we consume that perpetuate an unhealthy lifestyle so that we're mentally armed to break down those concepts to undo it do.

Sorry for the long meandering post. I probably shouldn't have done this using voice to text on my phone.

Well said

Subtle suicide = nutricide

I'm 170 (The heaviest I've ever been) and 45 pounds over weight and obese by definition.

That changes tomorrow!
