Obesity.
I'm not jocking.
A huge proportion of Mises's staff are overweight, if not plainy obese.
Block, DiLorenzo, Rockwell, French, Long, Maltsev, Raico, Thornton, Murphy, Woods, Cantor, are all on the fat track to a hearth attack.
This needs to become at big priority at the Insitute.
What can we do to help?
Maybe a new category for the 'Donate' form, to send contributions for "staff personal trainers"?
Any ideas?
Best... Thread... Ever.

Or just teach AE to bodybuilders.
lmao
Block, maybe. Everyone else, not really.
*puts down the cheeseburger*
I think that has more to do with their being middle-aged than being actually fat.

And Bob Murphy wouldn't be nearly as intimidating as a welterweight:

I would speculate that they feel that it's better to self-sacrifice for the sake of society (putting in lots of work for the institute, seminars and campaining) instead of taking the time to improve their personal lives.
As such, I believe there's a danger in setting the wrong example (of self-sacrifice).
Eating also has a lot to do with psychology, which I believe is not their strongest point; considering most of them are religious.
The Oppurtunity Cost of working out is too high.
Nice. Murphy has a great sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously.
