kingandy | Gyms: Bad for you

As reported on Radio 1 Newsbeat this morning, gyms may be bad for you. Upon consulting a more reliable news source, however, this turns out to be somewhat misleading - it's not so much that regular visits to the gym don't help, just that they're intimidating, so people may not go very often. And then, since you're notionally "going to the gym" you might not do much other exercise. So, overall, being a member of a gym can in some cases be conceivably less healthy than otherwise.

I would call that a non-story.

Peanut butter! It's made of peanuts, and some people are allergic to peanuts, so it could be bad for you!
