also lawl at this “I don’t like to exersize and I love Rice Dream Cocoa Marble Fudge and I eat huge portions (trying to cut down) and I eat right before bed”
this guys a legend haha

As for Peta, can this be the same group that enthuses about all the varieties of vegan junk food available with its “I Can’t Believe It’s Vegan!” page at http://www.peta.org/accidentallyVegan/ ??
Hooboy, look at all the crap on that list, cocoa puffs, oreos, ritz crackers, hershey syrup, bisquick, wonder bread, crisco etc. And the article starts out with “Being vegan doesn’t mean you have to
eat wheatgrass and alfalfa sprouts.” Really! Well, being vegan doesn’t mean you can have your cake/oreo/pop tart and eat it too, either. Either a vegan diet is invariably healthy or it isn’t. I like Peta in general, and admire many of the things they’ve done. But they owe fat vegans–to borrow Vance’s phrasing–a major apology and recantation.

However, I saw nothing in your post acknowledging that Moore has a real health problem, and instead you went off on this Fat and Fit stuff as though it applied to him. However the fat issue may be for others, Moore has made himself a poster child for the health liability of obesity, not only by showing himself onscreen trying haul his bulk around (seriously, did you see Sicko? I’m not exaggerating) but also by demonstrating (I believe it was in Dude, Where’s My Country) an antagonistic ignorance about vegetarianism and nutrition. So I thought that angle needed to be covered.

Let’s say 20% body fat max is still healthy, not if you look anything like Michael Moore.

It would have been nicer if they took the “you didn’t cover this in your movie” tact like many people did with Al Gore’s omission of animal agriculture in An Inconvenient Truth. Referring to Michael Moore as an “elephant” is pretty damn tactless.

As for Michael Moore, he says he actually lost weight while making Sicko and has spoken about how his weight is tied to his health status, so Ms. Newkirk hasn’t entirely done her homework by making him a target. While Moore may still be a meat eater, he encourages eating your fruits and veggies and walking as part of being a health care activist, and that’s a great stance no matter your diet.

I don’t like to exersize and I love Rice Dream Cocoa Marble Fudge and I eat huge portions (trying to cut down) and I eat right before bed.

The first vegan I ever met weighed 250 pounds. She lived on nothing but potato chips and peanut butter straight from the jar (didn’t care for fruit or vegetables at all). Choosing to not eat animals doesn’t magically bestow someone with the knowledge and skill set to choose and prepare healthy foods.

And there’s plenty of heavier folks, myself included, who eat healthfully (and are vegetarian or vegan) and exercise regularly, who just happen to be big because that’s they way nature made us.
