My best friend's father just died at 68 from Multiple Myeloma. And I just attended another friend's father's funderal who was only 65. They weren't even sure which cancer started it all as he was just riddled with it by the time he went to the hospital for "stomach pain".

So I've started talking to friends recently about their weight and how excess body fat significantly contributes towards numerous cancers.

It's been interesting.

The last group I brought it up with steered the conversation towards "all bodies are beautiful bodies" which is true but ... GAH! ... basically the entire western world is in denial about health and diet.

The corporations are fueling this fire, partly I'm sure through steering mainstream media to avoid certain talking points.

How many of you here actually knew that being overweight contributes to dozens of early onset cancers? Be honest.

You can't survive on alcohol, chips and cigarettes... but because people seem to be able to do that for a few decades, everybody just shrugs off health and thinks "I'll be fine".
