Softness: The Menace to Society

And that was 50 years ago. The CDC statistics on obesity from just the past 15 years are jarring (a 1/3 increase); and the stats on severe obesity are worse (doubling). 

The 30 day detoxes and infomercial fitness ain’t cutting it. The Crossfit organization, Fitbit trackers, Instagram influencers, and everything else which cropped up into popularity in the past 15 years has done absolutely nothing to positively impact American health and wellness. Their rise correlates very tightly with an ACCELERATION in the obesity epidemic. The increase in unhealthiness is increasing.

Concisely, we have to change the way we live. We have to become less soft. JFK knew it. You know it. I know it. It’s not about pop fads. It’s not about getting your steps in. It’s about toughening up, hardening up, and living with more self-discipline.

When confronting any decision on activity or nutrition, the pertinent question is this: what does the soft person do? And what does the disciplined grown-up do? It’s a very simple guide. No need to overcomplicate it. No need to overthink it.
