Having grown up in Africa, I am well aware of the fact that
in tribal culture, a larger person (ie. A fat person) is synonymous with
wealth). The larger you are, the higher up the pecking order you are seen to be
as you don’t have to work as a labourer or a warrior.
How does this relate then to western (so-called civilised) society then? I would say that it mirrors quite nicely the tribal society. How many CEOs of big corporations or Managing Directors do you know that are overweight? From my own experience with these people, I would say that it would be around 85% of those in high ranking positions that I know.
Why is this the case? Surely these folks have ample wealth to be able to afford healthy balanced food and even to afford access to personal trainers, gyms, nutritionists and other health and wellbeing tools.
Did these folks just become lazy or is it that they only care about money and nothing else? This is really sad though as with all the money in the world, we are not going to be around to enjoy it so long as we neglect the most important thing in our lives (ie. Our health).
Anyone can turn their lives around and get on to a path of health and wellbeing instead of just obsessing over money and waiting for the box. I am living proof of change having lost 40Kgs.
Please share your stories. Let’s help build an obese free society for the next generation.
