There's more to this than meets the eye....

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and
spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and
Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and
Magnums. And Satan said, 'You want hot fudge with that? And Man said,
'Yes!' And Woman said, 'I'll have one too with chocolate chips'. And so
they gained 10 pounds.

And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure
that man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat (Triticum L.) and sugar from the
cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.

So God said, 'Try my fresh green salad'. And Satan presented Blue
Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman
unfastened their
belts following the repast. God then said 'I have sent you healthy
vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them'.

And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped
lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own
platter, and Man's cholesterol went through the roof.

Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming
with potassium and good nutrition.

Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre
into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities
of salt. And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running
shoes so that his children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would
not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and
cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and
still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created McDonalds and the 99c double cheeseburger. Then Satan
said 'You want fries with that?' and Man replied, 'Yes, and super size
'em'. And
Satan said, 'It is good.' And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed ........ and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

And then ........ Satan chuckled and created the National Health
Service.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final
word on nutrition and health:
1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks
than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer
heart attacks than us.
6. The French eat foie-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and
suffer fewer heart attacks than us

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently
what kills you! Here endeth the Lesson.

Why not? Life is all about making sense of disorder. "In the beginning, the
world was in blackness - then God said..."

Its not uptight. Just sensible. Getting heart burn, reflux and constipation
etc... not fun those.

Well. ideally yes. I was a lardball until I went into the Army at 18. Went
from 85kg - 65kg in 3 months of basis military training. Bloody oath it was
hard. I kept on falling asleep on the bus back home, on the dinner table,
and always at Sunday church.

Once you look fit, and healthy. Its a great feeling. But I didn't eat
right - so I went back to 80kg.

Now I am aware of what I eat. I avoid potatoes, bread in the evenings. I do
have sweets from time to time, but only as a special treat. Hot tea and
ginger biscuits are my bane.

I just realized that its a bad habit to - on a daily basis - eat a pack of
chips or the crap they serve at fast food joints.

It might impossible. But hey, 200 years ago, people only took baths once a
year and thought it madness to wash regularly. Now we take too long in the
showers. lol.

Once you start a good habit - it keeps on doing good things. Once you start
cutting out fat in your diet, and being conscious of what food is
appropriate - it really does become easy. 2md nature really.

Lately I've been going scuba diving. Nice to dive with pretty young ladies
and still be considered good looking.

Mmm...well at least you aren't doing stupid things like going to the casino.
Someone I know personally was left a good fortune by her late partner. It
was enough to last her 10 life times. But she wanted to make money. Which
doesn't make sense, as she already HAS the bloody money. Her friends took
her to the casino because they serve free drinks to pensioners or some sh1t
and over a very short period of time she lost it all. She just wouldn't
admit she was in trouble. Frankly if it wasn't the casino, it would have
been some other stupid thing.

None taken :)
