And why are you so angry about this? Obviously, the writer has bought heavily into making fitness a lifestyle - and I think he's totally on the wrong track because he has to be so ridiculously disciplined about it. But I think the point worth taking home is more along the lines of: Yes, you can ignore it all and be reassured by a gaggle of paid professionals that you're within the national averages and they'll know how to deal with you when your health fails you. Or you can say, "Most people are unhealthy. I don't want that." The evidence from prehistoric times strongly indicates that this is our actual situation today. And going from that premise, you start making some changes. Maybe they're small ones, or big ones. Maybe LL Cool J plays a role. But the conclusion always involves working a little bit because society has made it hard to be naturally fit and healthy.
