There should be jail time for this type of deceit. Atleast a fine

Tl:dr- are any of us even completely 100% always honest and open about every aspect of our lives with those we are close to? Is it so odd that under the gaze of potentially millions of strangers and when your whole “life” is your brand and how you make money that you might not be completely honest? Who here can honestly say they have nothing they have ever tried to hide either out of shame, or out of self benefit? Who here really believes that these people can be perfect or interesting or etc. all day every day and that even their screw ups somehow are cute and funny and endearing as if... almost as if it were carefully crafted fiction.....

well the thing is, she was selling her life style and she knew that it was causing her health problems. so she was basically selling everyone their death.

Not only that but if people did start having problem from it, it's likely they would assume they did something wrong rather than thinking the stuff she was pushing was wrong

That’s pretty much... human history. Celebrities, “financial gurus,” religious leaders, models, fitness industry- hell, the guys at Phillip Morris and McDonald’s know their stuff will kill you and not all their executives and leaders use their own products or at least in the quantities and frequencies they would ask you to. We look at athletes and pro fitness mouth pieces and they talk about health and fitness, and look at them. They’d know right? Except many are anything but. Many compete and aren’t keen on giving their edge away or selling it. They shill products. Home gym equipment they don’t use or maybe they do but as a supplement to the real stuff that’s 90% of their work out. They shill supplements that aren’t as powerful as the hormones and insulin and diaretics and chemicals and tricks they use to “look healthy” that in reality are not. Many die young or live on expensive medical care from organ failures caused by the price of looking so “healthy.” They tell a kid that 1,000..

... sit ups a day will give them abs, not that it likely won’t, and will probably lead to back problems. They say they made some incredible changes they’ll share or sell you that made them go from fat to fit in a year, then some well meaning person does it and doesn’t get those results and thinks they’re doing it wrong or have “bad genes and can’t” gets discouraged, quits or spirals deeper. Because their body didn’t take a year, even with drugs that’s a feat untrained. It took 3-10+ and likely involved drugs at some point. (Not every fit person or fitness celeb is or was on drugs. A staggering number for though.) They’re parasites. They feed people false hopes and reinforce their beliefs or tell them that they an do the thing everyone else says is hard in only 10 minutes a day, and they take their money in return. Some are at least well meaning- but hell. I once read a (since edited) post from a “reputable” and well followed fitness company that does magazines and websites and...

... competitions, and it was an interview of a body builder with crohns disease. A GI disorder that causes weakness and makes it hard to gain weight or muscle among other things. He was ripped and lean and gave his “path to beating crohns.” Wow. A real inspiration. Getting bulked is a lot of work, and a lot of eating, and your diet has to be on point. Hard for people with Crohns who have pain, lack of energy, poor nutritional absorption, and have to be careful what they eat because of their disease and many restricted or forbidden foods are top choices for both muscle building and as “low cost” options for the pursuit. Wow. Inspirational. His diet? He was eating over a cup of nuts a day according to the article. People with a Crohns aren’t supposed to have nuts. They can kill you. They will get stuck inside you and cause infection of your intestines that can cause a hole to form and all your poo to leak into your body and you get septic and die of you don’t die from malnutrition...

.... If he actually ate like that he was rolling the dice on his life. It’s more likely- especially since they edited it later, that it was bullshit. That they needed to post an “inspirational” story and work out and diet- so they picked from the very basic and pretty universal classic formula of ways to gain muscle mass and printed it. I’ve spent much of my life very close with technology, machines, and fitness among some other things. I see bullshit every day in ads and claims and portrayals. Whenever I read some snippet of a diet or exercise program book or article- some person talking about their miracle transformation- it’s largely bullshit. The truth is that fitness is at its core pretty simple- especially if your goals are clear cut like “get jacked” “get cut” “be healthier...” junk in junk out, lots of work. The end. Whatever the thing we are talking about you can’t beat physics. A basic understanding of the world will tell us a good deal of this stuff is bullshit....

... the conceit that our modern sensibilities can somehow find miracle cures and fast foxes for problems that have been on humanities major radar for centuries or more- the idea that someone miraculously found a way to not only do some amazing thing no one else EVER has, AND instead of taki this to a lucrative field and guarding a trade secret that can give a competitive edge worth millions or more- and they just want to share it for $20 or free or whatever? So yeah. These people repulse me. I can’t judge them all because not all are the same or even aware of what they’re doing. Many have good intentions. But in the end- they go away if we stop feeding them. If we don’t buy their bullshit. Sadly some people are more prone to faking prey to these people. I just encourage them and everyone in general to apply some critical thought and take an investment in the world they live in. Do your research and don’t be in a rush to jump on new fads. If it’s that good it’ll be around later.

So my takeaway from this is that you are lying to me
