I said that everyone is different. I don't have protein cravings at all, like I know some people get. My body prefers carbs and veg over protein. Nothing wrong with that. To call it an addiction is likening it to something like crack cocaine and I ...

The Rabbit Hole

Giving blood regularly reduces your risk of CV disease and stroke by something like 80%. Too much iron in the blood is very damaging. I wouldn't worry much about cholesterol levels; that is another pseudo science thing. Facts are that healthy people ...

The Rabbit Hole

I was talking of the traditional Japanese diet, not McD's. How about Hindus? They are mostly vegetarian and eat a lot of carbs. How about wartime Britain? Meat was scarce and carbs were relied upon to fill you up. No obesity then. It really is that ...

The Rabbit Hole

Very good.

The Rabbit Hole

Why are the Japanese not fat? They eat a lot of carbs (rice). The French eat shed loads of white bread and Italians a lot of pasta. Strange then that Americans beat all the western world on CV disease, diabetes, obesity, bowel cancer and reduced ...

No BJ's in Uganda. url

The Rabbit Hole

So what about the other two thirds of the population? I don't think the lardies are worried about low fat. McDonald's isn't low fat, Dominoes, KFC, Pizza Hut..... nope, none low fat. It's a simple case of volume, nothing else. BTW, I eat a lot of ...

The Rabbit Hole

Could it be driven further by the snowflake mentality? A lot of overeating is emotionally driven and so is Socialism. Are the butt hurt types (plenty of them) fat Socialists?

The Rabbit Hole

Being overweight causes a huge amount of joint problems. It messes with the natural biomechanics. I guess it's a downward spiral once you get fat so you just end up even fatter going around in a mobility scooter. url

The Rabbit Hole

Passing that cost onto everyone else, yes. That's what I meant when I said pricing themselves out if the market, because those costs are only going to rise! Now what if someone came along and broke that mould? Competition. Pay by weight. Then who ...

The Rabbit Hole

Which causes two thirds of the population to be overweight or obese and strangely enough you did not see during the wartime Britain? I guess they can blame big bones or their genes too. Or slow metabolism. But... fat people actually have a higher ...

The Rabbit Hole

I should add she was a raging Socialist as well.

The Rabbit Hole

I never cease to be amazed / horrified when I see fat people eat; the sheer greed! I saw such a thing yesterday. Years ago, my ex sister in law said to me, "it's ok for you, you can eat what you like and not put on weight." I replied, " yes, but ...

The Rabbit Hole

No, I was being perfectly serious. Yes I know some airlines around the world do a little more and I applaud them for it. I just wonder what will ultimately happen with the US airlines as passengers get even bigger and they're scared of litigation. ...

The Rabbit Hole

Even better, my 9 year old is pretty ferocious. She has won karate tournaments and has beaten kids far bigger than her. She could really inflict damage if she was to go full force. How about one of the permanently offended have the crap beaten out ...

The Rabbit Hole

No I am not! However, if any of them want to have a pop at me, I will quite happily practise my Wing Chun skills. My kids do 3-4 hours of karate a week. Dangerous world out there.

The Rabbit Hole

Great! That makes me about 10! (not really) Anyway, who cares, so long as you still have your marbles, are fit and healthy and still look good?

Why are you so obsessed with over 50's?!? This isn't meant to be crinklies' thread with crinklies' music! Should I be supplying some zimmers and bedpans? Deal!! We'll swap you May for Trump! Yes please! url
