As a HS teacher , and union official , I can tell you this pick is not what ' s best for public education . <| sep |> Wow . What An Amazing View . Just Loved It . <| sep |> You can have Ottawa ' s winter . I ' m not going to miss it . <| sep |> I don ' t struggle with it , but I recognize the conscious decisions you have to constantly make to not get fat . At 6 ' 2 my heaviest was 205 ish and now I ' m 172 ish pounds . I think society and culture are FARRRR larger contributors to obesity than gut bacteria . Unless you live in a windowless dungeon and have no friends you are basically constantly surrounded by oppprtunities and peer pressure to eat and drink unhealthy food . It ' s a literal nonstop bombardment . Coworkers want to go out for lunch and invite you . Happy hours after work . Weddings . Holidays . Birthdays . Catching up with old friends . Sports . Movies . Date night . So many things are constantly putting people in positions where you can consume massive numbers of calories . And sure , you can find ways to eat healthy . But then you have to deal with the peer pressure and joking . Want some fries ? You ' re not drinking ? Have some nachos . You look fine you don ' t need to lose weight . People often suck at dealing with peer pressure , and not just with regards to food . If being fat was culturally totally unacceptable a lot less people would be fat . Instead nearly everyone is fat . It ' s culture , not gut bacteria .
