  • Modern politics and fitness in the military and presidents. 
  • The socioeconomic and class division of fitness and politics. 
  • Pilates. 
  • Fitness in America today is highly individualized. 
  • Fitness in liberalism and conservatism inappropriately integrates morality, religion and political beliefs into fitness and food. 
  • The nuances of extremist political conclusions of food and fitness. 
  • Food as a human right around the world and in America. 
  • Political impacts on your fitness in government like the EPA, FDA, healthcare, federal standards and more. 
  • Final message: whatever your government is willing to do to the least of the society or those abroad, they will do to you. Full stop. The government will no hesitate to withhold food from it's civilians just like it does on the global setting. 
  • The beliefs and standards you hold for individualized fitness and food is where the government will stop. If you believe it's a personal issues, then your government will not help you. Ask more of the system you pay for. You are most similar to someone on SNAP than you are to a representative. We are all one moment away from needing a subsidy to help us live.
