If the plant is Audrey II, dying first will be optional.10

See, I've killed enough fish in my life, and tortured many, many more, that I think it would be fitting to be tossed in a lake when I die.
My wife doesn't like the idea though.6 -
I think diets are a joke and have been hijacked into a business. Don't diet, it always ends. Change your life and habits. Its harder at first but easier the rest of your life.2

If I don't stop dieting won't I eventually starve to death?4 -

When folks ask how my day is going and it's not going well, my response is, "At least I'm not food for something else yet."7 -

What about mosquitoes?4 -
Hopefully not an unpopular opinion, but I think that telling kids they're "big boned" for being obese is borderline child abuse.7
-
I absolutely resent my parents for letting me get overweight, eat poorly, and be lazy when I was a kid. I still love them of course, but I'd be a fool not to acknowledge the years of damage they let me do to my body and all of the ways that my poor childhood habits held me back as a young adult.6

Or all the dust mites all over your home and bed?1 -
Cardio is a waste of time (unless you actually enjoy it).4

Not in my experience. Can't sustain HIIT long enough to burn any meaningful amount of calories, and whatever I burn I eat back twofold or more because it increases my hunger substantially. Now don't get me wrong, no one has to do steady state cardio (or weight lifting, or HIIT for that matter), but you can't call any form of exercise a waste of time because there are clear benefits to being active, health and otherwise.
(P.S: HIIT is cardio)14 -

Yes, sitting on your butt is a much greater waste of time.
Since I don't like exercising in general, I'm going to spend the least amount of time possible to get the greatest benefit which means high intensity. I just want to get it over with so I can get back to thing I enjoy.2 -

Yes, sitting on your *kitten* is a much greater waste of time.

And that's totally alright! It's just, this sounds more like preference than opinion.1 -

Nah, I still am not a fan of cardio(but it's better than nothing). I believe there are much greater benefits from high intensity exercise.
How do you know you don't burn as much calories doing HIIT? I believe that much shorter, high intensity exercise may not burn as much at the time, but the residual calorie burn from greater muscle stimulation lasts much longer resulting in more CO.9
