Joe Rogan criticized “fat teachers” who defend unhealthy lifestyles on a Saturday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“Fuck you fat teachers, fuck you, you’re not healthy, it’s not good by any means,” Rogan said.
Rogan’s guest was fitness influencer Derek from the “More Plates, More Dates” YouTube channel, where the two appeared for reference a document from the University of British Columbia in Canada. The document advocated removing nutrition information from menus because putting the number of calories next to an item can be “triggering” for some students.
“It can be triggering for those with disordered eating habits or eating disorders,” the document for students said. “For those of us who have a difficult relationship with food, either in the past or present, it can be triggering when presented with caloric information and can affect our ability to repair our relationship with food. Walking away from food nutrition information, we can focus more on enjoying food and creating a satisfying experience.”

Derek described how the university “apparently removed all nutrition information from the foods students included in their meal plans, because it was ‘too triggering’ to show calories.”
He continued, “it presents this fucked up scenario where you can’t even self-regulate, even people who want to stay at a healthy weight, you can’t even figure out what the hell you’re eating.”

Rogan remembered a viral video showing a teacher, “talking about [how] avoiding certain foods is just ‘fat phobic’ and ‘not based on science.'” He also recalled the woman saying, “you shouldn’t deny yourself donuts” and “calling some foods ‘junk food’ is incorrect.”

“How come you speak publicly about this?” Rogan wondered.
Rogan criticized the idea that people are disturbed by “real data” presented about the foods they choose to eat, suggesting that “it doesn’t mean that nobody should tell you what you should or shouldn’t do, but you should know.”
The host suggested that demonize basic information“They’re raising the least resilient people possibly known to man, where every microaggression, every single thing that can trigger you, all of that is stripped away, and you’re raw and vulnerable.”

“We will protect them in this university system and then we will expel them out into the world where they will then infect corporations with this ideology, and that is what we are experiencing,” he added.
“It’s amazing how commonplace the shift to the comfort mindset has become,” Derek replied. “I think this is partly why men’s testosterone levels are dropping as well, as is the lifestyle and encouragement to be a sedentary piece of shit, getting offended and insulted by literally everything, None of this leads to masculinity.”
