I always find it interesting that whenever exercise/diet topics come up on HN that people will go to the n-th degree to try and discredit or rubbish the studies. Could it be a bias in the stereotypical geek which shuns both these habits and so seeks an intellectual reason to justify his sedentary lifestyle?
- philjackson 12y agoIt's a cynical view, but I'm afraid to say I feel it too. This whole 'body acceptance' movement (in the context of obesity) that's happening at the moment is detrimental to society and should probably be shunned as overweight people justifying their inactive lifestyles.
