Every yuppy feels compelled to remind you they go to the gym, expecting a pat on the head for being a responsible citizen, when it's really a sign of a dysfunctional lifestyle. Cordoning off a discrete slice of time to "be healthy" is pathetic imo. I'd much rather just be healthy. Gorillas don't work out.

But because I live in suburban Australia and eat the same pesticide laden slop as everybody else, I too have a gym membership.

What does this actually mean to you? Walking or even running is certainly not comparable to going to the gym, so what, should we lift heavy weights as part of our regular jobs to keep up our upper body muscle mass?

Gorillas can also digest cellulose.
