LDS general conference - Fall 2013

Question. I see a lot of missionaries in the area I live in. They're always on their bikes wearing their uniform. Anyway, with as much cycling as they do, why are the majority of them fat? I mean, I'd say, rough estimate, like 80% of the dudes I see are big.

Started with asking about specific confrence talks, went into the growth of the church and how to accurately, or best, determine active numbers. Then it went into how to define Mormonism; as a denomination or christianity, a new religion or both.

Neg repped for lack of sarcasm. I expected more from a mod.

Majority in my mission were skinny, we rode like 40 miles a day I average. And we ate rice and veggies because it was Taiwan.

In my mission alot of weight making was in style and the missionaries were all fairly fit. No cars or bikes and we hiked up the side of mountains all day.

You are probably lucky. Most of the missionaries I see are not overweight. There are some, but they are in the minority. As to US based missionaries if they did not start out overweight they got into a bad habit of eating a lot at dinner when people feed them so they end up putting on weight. Overweight missionaries at the start may already have bad eating habits.

I'm a mod. According to legend we don't have sarcasm or humor.

I can confirm the rumor that Stoked had an operation when he became a mod to remove his personality and humor. Rumor has it that Kicky was the "doctor".

Correct me if I'm mistaken.

hahaha Friends mess with each other when they mess up. If you expect me to be all prime and proper than you got the wrong guy.

Hmmm, maybe it's the area they're "serving" in.

Definitely. LA has enough members that the missionaries probably get fed regularly. I gained 10-20 pounds in ~5 months in North Carolina, despite living in low membership areas, riding a bike and having the metabolism of a 19-year-old. I lost 30 pounds in my first 3 months in Indonesia without a bike.
