In the case of Hogan, I think you can find photos of him in the 1980s where he looks overweight. He was muscular enough that it didn't matter much, but he was far from being "ripped". He downsized in the 1990s and I think he

Yeah I suspect it isn't exactly a 50/50 split between "both sides" of this issue - not that the article necessarily argued that, of course.

I've never heard of things like alcoholism pride, for instance (maybe I'm wrong). What makes obesity so different that it gets these defenders, despite the indisputable link with a wide array of health issues?

Thankfully this one has some archives. But indeed, not everything does. Even with some backup, the Internet has not always proven itself to be a reliable means of archiving things. Companies (and their websites) vanish, and not always with

Who would you consider to be "liberated"? I can't recall even some of the well-regarded teachers of recent times (Thich Nhat Hanh, Ajahn Chah, and others) making that claim about themselves, though others certainly made the c

Fitness trackers are often quite terrible at counting both steps and heart rate. This means two very important metrics for tracking fitness can't be trusted completely. That said, they can at least give you a rough estimate as to where
