I wanted a house so I could grow the first three.

Am currently stuck in in law's house, with collapsing job market after being denied a mortgage for being too fat 3 months before the job market collapsed.

    Yep. Based on age and mortgage length, and beurocracy they said I had to take out a life insurance policy which got denied due to health factors.

    I believe it. My credit score had a knock against it because, and I quote: "Months since oldest auto trade opened".

    I guess cyclists who outright own two cars (An old hatchback and an old truck) are a credit risk.

    Sorry for the legalized discrimination you faced, that feels a lot more egregious than mine.

    You know the biological system is too complex for simple physics based memes to be plausible

    1. Those who try to win by increasing CO find they eat more
    2. Those who try to win by reducing CI find they become less active
    3. Those who try to win by restricting carbohydrates in and increasing fat in, find they lose weight and become more active
