    Material conditions, etc.

    Single parent working two jobs and taking care of their kids, preexisting medical conditions, and other situations prevent people from getting fighting fit. But fighting fit is a word of difference from just being healthy. Changes in caloric consumption, getting a fuller nutrient profile, drinking water instead of soda/alcohol, and so on aren't as difficult to accomplish as being able to marathon well and deadlift well.

    Counterculture is always going to have a contrarian element. Some people see muscular people on TV and think they're enacting a private rebellion by... being overweight. This isn't a rebellion against capitalism, it's the same logic as "I'm going to eat all the bacon I can to trigger the libs." Focus should be placed on people having measurable solutions (strength, speed, bodyfat percentage, testosterone levels, etc.) as opposed to looking at celebrities and models and wishing they looked like that ("thinspo" garbage).
