Presidential Physical Fitness Test

In 2013, the Presidential Physical Fitness Test we all grew up with was replaced with more general lifestyle guidelines because that test was dumb. Situps, pullups, and running shuttles back and forth were nothing compared to the workout we got whipping dodgeballs at each other. Now Mr. “Exercise Depletes Your Body’s Finite Supply of Energy” brought it back because he’s demented and surrounded by idiot fascists who think pullups and seed oils will bring about a new generation of übermenschen.

The ironic thing about this push to get kids to exercise more is that I’ve already been doing more than I ever have in my life just to avoid seeing this guy’s fucking face on my computer and phone. It’s probably a good thing too, since who knows how much longer we’ll have any health care to rely on.

The Sugar Water Workout

The Sugar Water WorkoutA story in last week’s NYTimes revealed how Coca-Cola funds scientists who tout exercise while downplaying the role calorie consumption has on health. The amount of exercise you’d have to do to burn the empty calories in sugary sodas is a lot more than simply cutting sugar water out of your diet.

Soda’s not evil, and it’s a fun treat and caffeine delivery system for hot summer days. But claiming it’s part of a well-balanced diet and exercise regimen is laughable enough to make me snort my aspartame carbonated beverage of choice through my nose.
