I Hate These Things

CNN tells us how many calories the “average” man and woman should be consuming over the holidays. It’s so great that they’re so inclusive!:

First, some basics. Health experts say women and older adults should eat about 1,600 calories a day. Children and men should add 400 calories to that, while teenage boys and very active men get to eat a total of 2,800.

Uh… what about very active women?

Ah, yes, that’s right. There’s no such thing as active women. They spend their days knitting and rocking the baby’s cradle with thier idle feet.

This shit is just so much filler.
