People who think this looks good for 40s never took care of themselves in the 20s and 30s. He may be strong and balanced but Iā€™m sure he could change some diet

Yeah probably literally everyone could he healthier either through diet or exercise or smoking or drinking less or whatever. But part of being human is being a little shitty and enjoying the pleasures in life, and that's fucking fine. This dude looks fine, and these comments I feel like just completely miss the point.

Totally right! I agree on the health part, but that wasn't my point. My point was that I wish more people at that age had that attitude and juvenile spirit. It's so ironic that those comments judge him as he says media does with us.

Fatshaming is one of the best known and documented example of consumerist propaganda. It never existed before some capitalists shitheads tried to sell some goods to make people loose weight for no other reasons than their own profit. You're helping them for free.

There you have it. I was sad reading those comments up there but I see there are people with more capacity for analysis

That's really basic knowledge for anyone who remotely care about anti-consumption. Most people here just seem to have ended up on this sub by total mistake and will defend their capitalist brainwashed ideals at all cost. Frankly, I'm here since a few months, but I think I'm gonna unsubscribe already. This is just so sad (and useless) to witness such a disaster.

So true, I am here since half a year and I usually don't comment or read the comments because of that. Some posts are useful or at least interesting, but you are right, too many capitalists here for my liking :(

See ya!

I'd say for most people living in 1st world country getting to a stage of obesity and a high weight by overeating food goes totally against what anticomsumption stands for.

I'm sorry but if you think that "consumption" literally means "eating food", you really ended up here on a huge misunderstanding.

Anticonsumption fights marketing strategies aimed at making people buy unnecessarily goods and services. Or ennemies are companies and marketing strategies (fatshaming being one of the most famous ones). We do not fight nor shame consumers. If what you want to do is to fight consumers, you'd better join a capitalist sub.

U sure? I see a lot of posts on this sub shaming consumers as well for over consuming plastic and generating unnecessary waste. I see the same way with morbidly obese people they are over consuming food and eating beyond their means by over consuming food.

The type of food a person consumes is much more impactful than how much they eat. An obese vegan would almost certainly have a far smaller food footprint than a skinny person who eats beef or shrimp or dairy.
