Manual work keeps us slim, NOT. Visit a builders merchants and youll find plenty of fat builders.
Im a slim bricklayer, my job obviously demands a higher calorie intake than a keyboard warrior but its the food i consume rather than my employment that shapes my shape. This evening i had a baked potato, half a tin of beans and some tomatoes. Cost £1 or less. Fresh vegetables are relatively cheap compared to highly processed food.
A colleague of my wife drives 600 metres to work, shes morbidly obese and complains about thr NHS , waiting times for knee replacements. My sons have sedentary jobs, frequently work twelve hour shifts, theyre slim, could it be the fact that they usually run 6 miles to work and take a packed lunch as buying highly processed food is too expensive.
Lifestyle choices make us fat, what we eat, whether we exercise or not, always blaming others(politicians) or any one of a bumper fun book of excuses why people are fat and unhealthy.
Its a shame this thread has become somewhat politicised, still its par for the course.
