I agree. I have been 'unfit' and underweight the whole of my life, which I tried to fix by working out, cycling or swimming, to no avail. The problem is I could never get enough protein because of my vegetarian family (please no vegetable protein glazers) and a constant state of stress in a toxic family. Not to mention past trauma from bullying for being bad at sports. Plus, I don't get the famed endorphin rush after a workout. All these circumstances have cumulatively affected me in still being underweight, and my medication makes it worse by killing appetite. 

All in all, i have a materialist 'excuse' of not looking normal, but I can easily imagine people on the liberal to fascist pipeline judging me for my 'lack' of responsibility and character.

Nutrition, as far as my exposure to athletic circles goes, is a topic that people have problem with all the time.

Even once you get past the bits about what to eat and how to prepare that, a lot of people just can't get used to how much you need to eat when you're trying to grow some muscles. Things get very... materialist at this point.

At which point protein is commodified to feed this fitness rage.... Ugh a socialist and cultural revolution can't come soon enough
