Some people, like me, enjoy life more If they are at least somewhat physically fit.
That's good for you. The original meme was literally body shaming him while on vacation
Edit: for the curious it was literally him at a film festival
After some cursory research ([1] among other meta-analyses), this does not seem to be true below the age of 80. Could you cite a source?

Thanks! Both look like very decent studies so I am not certain where the difference comes from. I suspect that the division into age brackets, or averaging across all of the them may be the cause. Either way, it seems that the effects of being slightly overweight are barely statistically significant. The more you know
That's what I mean too: Blanket statements are nonsense. Of course, this applies in both directions.
You simply feel better. Good on ya

We’re not like you
I just mean that it seems kind of strange to equate looking somewhat unhealthy with enjoying your life.
Oh it would.
I feel better being more fit because a lot of my interests (and my job) are very physical, and being as large as I am now makes doing the things I enjoy doing more difficult.
Not everyone has those interests or that type of work, and that's okay, too. We all have value.
That's exactly how I see it. One should not generalize. However, that is what is done in this picture.
Also, the right photo is the before photo. Seems like he also likes to take care of himself.
Edit: if anyone read the first draft of that my bad. That was rough lol
Keanu was on vacation when this photo was taken. He was literally trying to enjoy life. Stop making this a bigger thing than it is.
"It's strange that people think they can enjoy life in ways that I don't enjoy" is definitely a take.
I just like to ve out of breath when i mount my mobility scooter
