If we're counting flour, sugar and corn syrup as 'plant-based', 100% agree.

Full disclosure: I spent most of my life being overweight. Even in the army I ended up on the 'fat boy program' that included double-PT and going to classes taught by a morbidly obese nutritionist on how to eat healthy. I wouldn't dream of treating someone as 'less than' because they struggle with being overweight, especially if they're trying to do something about it.

I recently started a part-time janitorial job in a building with about 50 office workers. One part of my job is emptying trash cans beside each desk. There's a lot of work to get done in a small amount of time, so I don't have a lot of time for small talk, plus I try not to interrupt them while they're working at their desks. I try to laser-focus on getting in, empty the trash and get out. This has caused me to notice some 'coincidences'.

For starters, women really seem to like wearing open-toed shoes, even while working. Me personally, life is hard enough without having to nurse an injured foot, but to each their own.

Secondly, when you're running office-to-office emptying trash and looking for carpet that may need spot-vacuuming, you tend to notice feet more than faces. This is where the pattern becomes recognizable. Swollen feet (inflammation) in close proximity to trash cans full of discarded junk and/or fast food packaging.

Some of these offices even contain stat-bikes, dumb-bells, etc., so it's not like they aren't trying to improve their health. But they're like a brave commander trying to win a military campaign while being fed bad intelligence about the enemy. Our money isn't the only thing the establishment has turned into crap.
