    Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don’t think that’s accurate at all.

    However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here… It’s way, way more complicated than just “calories in/calories out”. Even the extent to which it’s unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.

    One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you’re a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it’s misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

    For the One Piece fans here, I’m getting the impression that it’s like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we’re watching that next for sure.






  • I’m pretty perpetually broke, all my family and friends eat meat, and I live in good ol’ purple state Pennsylvania (not Philly or Pittsburgh).

    In my personal experience, being at the very least vegetarian IS easy, even in my far-from-ideal conditions. I want to take people at their word when they say it would be hard for them, but it’s kind of incomprehensible to me. I even still eat at restaurants! Honestly I don’t even really cook that much, 'cause I’m lazy and don’t have a lot of free time. When eating out, you just try to do your due diligence to avoid getting any hidden meat, and if you wind up with some anyway, well at least you tried. I will admit it’s somewhat harder when I’m visiting rural Alabama, but not even by that much really. More on the level of minor inconvenience than anything. It’s not even more expensive, meat costs a fortune compared to like… beans.

    This trope, like how the Addams Family does it, has always really bothered and confused me. Like if the characters followed it to it’s logical conclusion, it wouldn’t make any sense at all, and I just can’t get over that. I don’t know how to explain what’s logically wrong with it, I wish someone would like write a tvtropes page about it
