Is your job making you fat?

Why ACE should be dissolved.

ACE was exposed in Gina Kolata's book, Ultimate Fitness, for its shoddy approach to certification.

Here its "chief exercise physiologist" demonstrates scientific shoddiness.

"Given that many people spend a big chunk of their waking hours at work, 'your job certainly could be contributing to weight gain,' says Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist at the American Council on Exercise."

No one's job makes them fat (unless you are the sommelier equivalent at the Wesson or Crisco factory, maybe.)

More Calories In than Calories Out makes you fat. In fact, it will make anyone fat.

Saying that your job makes you fat is like saying that working for the park service causes mosquito bites. It does not. Mosquitoes cause mosquito bites.

More "expert" foolishness.
