I confess that I like Ibai very much. He seems to me an incredibly smart guy and super mentally agile. I admire his ability to connect with young (and not so young) people and his 'snake' instinct to get where he wants and who he wants no matter how high he is. But, above all, I like it because, although it has that 'youtuber' tone that unhinges me so much, it does not usually hit as many shouts as its colleagues in the guild.
His baby face gives me even a certain tenderness. That's why I have it worse, if possible, to see a kid as young as him in such a pitiful physical shape. And, no, as my admired Alberto Rey has published on Twitter, it is not a fat attack, but a desperate call to take care of himself and abandon, once and for all, his role as prescriber of 'junk food' to, by the way, stop putting it through the eyes of our children.
The truth is that, after the announcement of his challenge to adopt a healthier lifestyle, he harbored certain hopes that it would be so, but my joy went to the well that all the unfulfilled good wishes fall to see that, in his channel, he continued to try 'snacks' absolutely incompatible with his alleged change of life. Then came the video in which he said, together with his personal trainer, that he was going through a crisis of faith, that he was lacking motivation (as if living more and better was not) and that, of course, it was very complicated not to fall into the temptation of food delivery and all that.
The straw that has filled the glass has been the presentation, with great fanfare, of the menu that, with his name, has 'made' Dani García and that, among other delicacies, carries txuleta puppy, chips, croquettes and a 'pancake' of dulce de leche. All with a lot of adornment 'foodie' and whatever they want but, you will forgive me, although the monkey dresses in silk ... Junk food stays.
Obviously, he is not the only one who advocates for cholesterol in a vein. There are, even, worse: those who are dedicated to swallowing, until caressing the limit of drowning, xxl menus to beat the absurd shift record. These, by the way, remind me a lot of poor Bruce from the movie 'Matilda', eating chocolate cake until he bursts under the dictatorial gaze of Miss Trunchbull.
Go ahead that I am not some kind of 'Taliban' of healthy food. I love burgers (occasionally), pizzas, fries, nachos with cheese (lots of cheese) and chicken wings... You can come to understand that it has more pull to make challenges with 'fat' and processed than with pieces of fruit or chard dishes. I understand that the large companies of 'fast food', snacks, etc. have found a reef in media phenomena such as Ibai to get their products directly to their 'target' and that the pasta that must be moved will be quite tempting. Also that Ibai, logically, will think that those of us who have to worry about feeding our children healthy are the parents, but ... Isn't all this big shit?
So, dear Ibai, I encourage you to stop looking for excuses and persevere in your challenge to get in shape, to get back on track and, although from time to time, delight us with a 'cheat day' in which you show us the most succulent 'mac and cheese' of the moment, teach us how well you are finding yourself eating better and moving more . Equally, little by little, you get 'patros' of daily activity meters, sneakers (sports, not 'postureo'), associations of fruit producers, insurance companies ... Come, go, you do not know what you are going to thank ... and what we are going to thank you!
