No, these morons are not kidding. This exposes the shoddy wiring in their heads.
…would-be British pol James Cracknell recently noted on the Beeb, only two countries in the whole wide world have “a handle on obesity”: Cuba and North Korea!
Some would say that Cracknell’s comments are shockingly tone deaf and deeply irresponsible, suggesting, as he is, that the west would do well to emulate brutally repressive dictatorships in order to get the disgustingly fat plebes soiling his view into better-fitting clothes. Not Cosmopolitan, which, a few years back, published this delightful guide to dropping the ell-bees via heartless tyranny:
Between 1990 and 1995, thanks to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuban people were forced to alter their entire lifestyles. They couldn’t afford petrol, so the government provided them with bicycles. People started walking everywhere. Food was also in shorter supply – there were no supermarket aisles stuffed with junk food or wallets stuffed with money with which to buy it.
In short, Cubans could no longer afford to be fat. In that five-year period, they lost an average of around five kilos per person, which is over 11lbs. As a result of people getting slimmer, they also started living longer, with fewer Cubans dying of diabetes and heart disease.
By utilizing this One Simple Trick—radically reducing the quality of life of the people trapped on your island nation and ruled over by a family of sadistic monsters—you too could lose OVER ELEVEN POUNDS! Unfortunately, it’s not a short term fix; you need a real commitment to immiseration to ensure that this whole thing works:

Cosmo actually touted CANCER as a good way to lose weight.
Do as I say, not as I do.
And the moslems found a quick cure for headaches…
I’m sure Venezuela is his third choice.
I’m on day 1 of a detox, not a fast, but a seriously limited diet. Already I want to kill something, freaking starving. But you know what, that’s a choice and I don’t suggest or force anyone to do it.
This pretty boy needs couch time not camera time.
Cracknell needs a full body enema.
North Korea also has a handle on light pollution. It must be astronomrs’s paradise.
Auschwitz must be the Holy Grail to these dumbfucks,,
And all we heard during the Obama years was “the upside to unemployment”.
Bur God forbid anybody talk about the positive effects of global warming.
Have yourself a mild heart attack and five bypasses. Now THAT’s a way to lose weight. I went from weighing about 193 lbs to weighing 167 lbs in a week’s time. I hadn’t been that light since I was 12 years old. And I was four inches shorter at the time
How do we know Cubans are living longer? Government statistics?
“Between 1990 and 1995…” So before 1990 the Cubans were living it up, driving everywhere, gorging themselves on an unending supply of delicious foods, with more pesos in their “wallets stuffed with money” than they knew what to do with? Damn, those Soviets sure knew how to prop up a dictator didn’t they?
AIDS is a good way to lose weight as well.
I prefer severe dysentery.
40 pounds in 40 hours
Man, would we ever love to adopt those little guys.
I starve myself every day between meals, it’s
terrible.
Totalitarians have a solution for EVERYTHING – and the solution is ALWAYS the same:
more State Control.
Funny how that works, isn’t it?
