Biology doesn’t care about “Body Positivity.”

Biology doesn’t care that “Big is Beautiful.”

Biology doesn’t care that “Fat is Where It Is At.” Or what ever other nonsense that is being spouted.

Even though we as people are living longer lives compared to our predecessors thanks to modern medicine, health care (cough) and science, just who, exactly, is living longer at the moment?

The Baby Boomers, that’s who. My Father.

Boomers for the most part haven’t always had a shit diet. But many millennial’s do.

Have you seen the kids today?

When I was a kid, I can tell you how many kids there were in my elementary school, junior high (middle school) and high school that were were what we can classify as morbidly obese. There were 2.

And yes, both of them actually had glandular problems.

I can’t even begin to imagine how many kids there are today in today’s school systems that would be classified as morbidly obese. (For all you stat guys and number crunchers, let me know. I’ll admit, I’m too fucking lazy to look it up.)

Lot’s of teens and early twenty somethings out there with way too much weight going on.

Here’s my prediction followed by a personal anecdote:

Life expectancy for the Boomers will carry on as we are basically seeing at the moment.

Gen Xer’s (Me included) will have a mixed bag when it comes to life expectancy. Some will live longer than what has been in the past, even giving the Boomers a run for their money. The other half? Shorter life spans. Maybe what was the average about 10 years ago or so. Maybe even less.

The Millennial’s?

At least the ones that are obese and morbidly obese? Shorter life spans than the Gen Xer’s.

I think you’re going to see a “crisis” here in the near future. Like in the next 10 years.

These young fatties are going to be dropping like flies.

Dying by the time they hit 40. If they’re lucky.

I’m thinking that it’s totally possible, and even probable in many cases, that they’ll be hitting the grave in their 30’s.

Here’s my personal anecdote:

Several years ago, I knew a guy by the name of Ray Mangum. Nice guy. Young guy.

The dude was about 6’1 and at his heaviest, he weighed almost 450 pounds.

He started losing weight and according to him, his doctor highly recommended it.

It’s too bad though. Ray didn’t get to finish losing the weight that he so desperately needed to lose.

On a Saturday night, he died from a massive heart attack.

Ray was only 30 years old.

I wasn’t shocked about his death. I had thought to myself, “Here’s a guy who if he doesn’t lose weight and change his lifestyle, will be dead by 40 or so.”

The shock was how young he was. 30. In fact, he had just turned 30 only a couple of months before his death.

Biology doesn’t care about “Body Positivity.”

We’ll see how this whole thing plays out in the next decade or so.

Guys, if you need to work on your weight, now’s the time.

Do it before it’s too late.
