I overheard some ladies talking yesterday and instructing their kids not to get in the ocean. Here are two of their reasons: 1) they just had lunch and lady said you'll get cramps, you can't swim for an hour, and 2) your face will turn to scales while food is in your stomach.
Later, a young woman was advising me on my newest problem, leg cramps, and she told me it was impossible for me to get leg cramps because I wasn't sprinting. She said that leg cramping is caused from dehydration and only a person who sprints will get dehydrated; not distance people, so she suggested I see a doctor.
We all know these are pretty ridiculous, have you overheard anyone advising others about "their myths?" The people making these comments were from England.

It's incredibly frightening that 40% of Americans are 100 pounds overweight. I don't see it where I live. Lotta runners around here. They must eat junk food 24/7 to put on the kind of poundage. People are just not that naturally overweight.
Sedentary lifestyle and more calories consumed than burned. One need not eat junk food or be in a constant feeding frenzy to be obese.
