The Modern Vegetable: Useless Blob Of Biomass

No one has ever called a fat person healthy. Fit fat people do not exist. Excesses of blubber and water don’t make the fitness grade you now. Without some other illness or ailment that the person cannot control, the run-of-mill fat people balloon themselves by stuffing their faces with excessive amounts of the resources of the planet for no good reason that they can reasonably justify for themselves. Being six times one’s healthy BMI is no health-wise good folks although whether that looks good or bad is up to individuals since beauty is in the eyes of the viewer.
Now, while a pretty large majority of people would probably agree with me on the health issues of obesity and might pity a fat person on the one side and roundly condemn the person on the other, they will embrace another fat entity with alacrity although that entity is fat for very similar reason.
I am talking about the modern vegetable.
Look at that thing that you love so much: huge, fat, shiny, tasteless and filled with what? Nutrients?Nah.Minerals?Nah. Then what? Well, just biomass mostly. Carbon based materials that do zilch for our health and wellbeing. They have become so bloated because they are created by trick and truck to enhance their size and appearance and fed by a cocktail of killer toxins to keep them alive since their ability to keep themselves alive naturally has been compromised by the very unnaturalness of their design, birth and existence.
We…? LOVE ‘EM! Despite the fact that doctors and others are promoting us to “be just the size that will make us win”, despite the fact that we are very clear over-sized is under-healthy, we seem to have been mass hypnotized into ignoring this simple, straightforward truth. Why? Because we are nuts, let me tell you.
OK … enough giggles and politically incorrect comparisons and anecdotes. Let’s get down to the science of this thing and the meanness with which something that is very bad for us has been coaxed into our subconscious selves as something that is good for us, great for us and looked for by default over everything else.
