Every particular hobby/interest, be it gardening, fashion, basketball will always have that 1% that absolutely dominates the discourse and will attempt to optimise every single facet of it to the point where they forget the entire purpose of it was to have fun.

Honestly, I think a well developed core is what separates an athlete from a bodybuilder. Like your body is actually useful and can do some work and isn't just for show.

Inspired by a co-worker whose diet consists of junk food and items only available on the kids menu. Constantly complaining of health issues that would be fixed if he just ate a fucking vegetable once in a while.
