Lot of Over Weight Wiccans ?

Question

Now i mean Absolute No Dis Respect To any Wiccans Or Over Weight people out there

But I was looking at Wicca Videos on youtube. And i noticed a lot of Wiccan People out there are Very Over Weight, ** at lest the ones on Youtube** i know there are 1,000,000 more out there that iv never seen.

But anyways. Back when i was younger and read a lot about wicca in more then 1 of my books it talked about how your Body is your temple and You need to Eat Right and Work out to take care of it and keep it healthy. But a lot of wiccans out there Dont seem to follow that.

Anyone else Notice this ? or is there a point to that look ? Cuz i know in a lot of Art Work. there are a lot of heavy Set Gods and Goddess, Like Goddess to represent The Mother Earth is usually a Heavy Set Women

Anyways it was just something i was wondering about

I Doubt this Question Well get many answer if Any it was just something i was thinking about

Answer 1

I'm pagan & I will agree with your observation.

I've noticed a lotta larger women tend to follow the goddess

(can't explain why)

)O(

Answer 2

Oh Goddess yes! A lot of sad, pathetic fat girls latch on to Wicca (or their own version of it anyway) in High School. You hardly find a coven that goes skyclad (nude) anymore because of it. There are way too many piggies and whales calling themselves Wiccans. They should get a little self respect.

I for one am not fat though. I'm admit I am a rarity.

Answer 3

How about another option?

Those Wiccans who are "You Tube" regulars might enjoy a similar 'healthy' diet as many others who are "You Tube" regulars.

Cause I can tell you that over 50% of the local Pagans who attend our "Pagans in the Park" are not over weight - & of the other there are seriously (not weight related) medical problems. & I don't thnk that's a big enough a collection to make generalised comments.

Answer 4

I'm sure it's only because 50% of Americans are overweight.

Answer 5

There are more overweight Christians.

Answer 6

America is fat. We Christians also have the "body is a temple" rule, but just look at your average preacher.

Answer 7

Atheists are on average fitter, less likely to be convicted of a crime, and less likely to get divorced than the general population.

Now that's a belief system (or lack thereof?) you can count on!

Answer 9

Well, it's a stereotype about us Wiccans, but I think there's a lot of truth to it. A lot of truth. In my case, no though.
