Omigod, you guys! I have the answer! Fat people just SIT DOWN TOO MUCH!

If only I could find a way to work Brazil into this.

Yeah, I found myself laughing at all the totally disproved assertions in that slideshow. Argh.

It was pretty much "if you click your heels together three times, you'll be thin again!"

The distressing thing is that we're so used to this bullet point variety of information that it's easy to just consume without criticism.

well clicking your heels sounds fidgety, so maybe yes?

[keryx.livejournal.com]

Yeah, cause we know how well that worked for you.

[chubbyninja.livejournal.com]

yes but maybe if you did it while standing?

I just tried. Maybe my shoes are the wrong color?

I do most of those things. And yet I'm fat. I don't know if I move around more than thin people. But hey, I guess I don't since I'm fat and all fat people behave the same, just as all thin people behave the same.

That's right! Get back on the couch and stuff yourself with the rest of us imaginary fat people!

if being fidgety made you skinny, i'd weigh 120 pounds.

The problem is you sit down and fidget, obviously.
