The challenges Americans face in being and staying healthy and well is a national security issue, and we should frame it as such more often

Sorry, I'm being too cynical and pessimistic. My hunch is that the groups most likely to benefit from reframing fitness as national security are the least likely to comply. They will instead eschew personal fitness in favor of more guns, framing fitness as a product of the woke mind virus. Skip the gym, grab a Glock.

ok so there are interesting things to dissect here 1/2 1. your hypothesis kind of off base as it stands at least for todays cultural moment. fitness culture is largely rw coded. they need guns (real) and guns (biceps) https://unherd.com/thepost/being-fit-is-far-right-now-apparently/

Are we conflating muscularity and "exaggerated masculinity" with fitness? Sorry, haven't read the linked article yet. Glad my cynical take is outdated. Sad my political opponents aren't dying as early as possible. jfc rogans head got big

Meh. I'm too sidelined to "root for death" but I smile whenever Darwin is vindicated, if ironically, by the same groups that reject science based theories about [whatever they don't like].

Idk, man. Like yes, it’s annoying af to see “vaxxed?” after anyone dies. BUT USA *is* very aggressive with COVID boosters. WHO (and other countries in line with them) do not recommend boosters for children while we do. This is due to low risk from COVID + increased cardiac risk from the vaccine It’s hard!

COVID is one example. I read the Unherd op-piece you linked. My hunch is still that "fitness" is being conflated with "hyper masculinization" or whatever. It's all in the service of looking beefy (which might not be "fit", even with a generous definition). The anti-soy-boy, I guess.
