That's implicit at places like McDonalds and Burger King, though. No
point in stating the obvious. It would be more informative to label
the contents as containing "not less than 100% pure fat."

Actually, it's very good food.
That's why people get fat by eating it.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

"Safer" for whom? ;-)

I get the aura (big bright flashing yellow footballs with jagged black
edges) for 10 minutes or so, quite a light show, but fortunately I get
little or no headache. It's sort of interesting, except that I can't
see much for a while.

I know a couple of people with serious migraine, and it's really
disabling.
Great book by Mr Sachs points out that the glowing crenelations are only

experienced by superior people

I dumped "'Scientific' American" when they bought into the ozone hole
hoax and the global warming hoax.

It's way past a scare, it's an epidemic.

It's like invasion of the body snatchers, only with big fat bastards.

We need to give their pods a good kicking.

What I can't understand (well, amongst about a billion other things) is
how people can get so fat that they can't get out of bed. Who keeps
bringing them food? And who wipes their butt? <shudder!>

Thanks,
Rich

Yeah. What kind of idiot would think that burning a billion gallons
of petroleum would have an effect on the ecology.

/sarcasm

I used to dismiss this claim, until I saw the CO2 emission % from a
gallon of gas. It is staggering!

Take your typical LA day of smog. Multiply it by a thousand for the
rest of the world.
Ok. a typical day.

Multiply that by 365 and again by 10 for every decade.

Nah.. Couldn't possibly have any effect.

Dieting probably does send the message to the body that "the food
supply is unreliable, so better stock up." A better message to send is
"I'm doing a lot of walking, so I'd better not carry around a lot of
excess mass."

Not in English, of course.

LOL!

My favorite message to send my own body is, "Don't worry. Be happy."

Cheers!

That's actually a good one. Anger, frustration, neurosis are literally
killers.

Jim Thompson's got a relative for every job going, it seems. That
probably includes this one. It's just that in this case, we don't get
to hear about it. ;-)

Only if you define 'good' as having lots of energy in it.

I feel it wiser to define 'good' in the sense of providing a suitable amount
of energy for the diner.

If you off for a brisk walk in the hills, it is good.
If you are being driven home from school to watch TV all evening, it is bad.

Same with oxygen concentration. 0% bad, 100% bad, 20% good.

It's also good because it tastes good.
