Their whole job is to eat shittily. A chef isn't a chef to make healthy food, they're a chef to make the tastiest food possible, which in most cases means refined foods, lots of oil and fatty animal foods. Maybe for PR, he'll go "hey, check out this broccoli I'm eating!" but as part of his job, he HAS to eat shitty food

That has nothing to do with the healthiness of his diet, but the quantity of what he eats. You can go on an all twinkie diet and lose weight.

Dude's got a weird look to him. I mean, there's parts of his face that make it obvious he's only around 50ish, but the rest of it easily looks 20-25 years older.

I don't know enough about his history to know what's caused it, though. He doesn't ever seem like he was insanely obese. Fuckloads of drugs in his younger years? Too much tanning? Alien anal probes? The world may never know.

Why do some White people (not all of them) age so fast?

[Anonymous No.5368057]

>>5368004
I'll breeding, poor early life habits.
Genetically we're more compatible with certain foods than others. Whites just sort of weave together the cuisines of a dozen other cultures (including different "white" cultures/sub groups). You could say in a way diluting your ethnicity and cultures are literally shortening your lifespan. Also if you didn't start down the healthy track as early as 25ish you're probably never going to see fantastic results. It's a very slow and cumulative process.

It's true, different genetics different diets. I guess it would be more related to epigentics to be specific.

The literally have genes that allow them to rid their bodies of excess sodium faster/more efficient than other races.
