What if they figured out how much is spent on exercise equipment used by hunters to stay/get into shape for hunting?

5.22 billion yet america is the fatest nation in the world... seems strange.


It's almost like all that equipment won't do the work for you so, we never see any change in our bodies.

The article doesn't say any of us lardos are USING the exercise equipment, just that we BOUGHT it.
That aside, pretty encouraging to see gun sales that close to the top.
