Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted July 25, 2012 I can''t believe how many obese people I see out and about these days. At a rough guess, at least 50% of people I see look noticeably overweight, and something like 20% obese. Why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you though, feeding yourself on high salt high sugar diets with flat screens having replaced real play and sports, I remember going to play footie at the drop of a hat, sometimes it was just a look at a ball that set me off, that''s all gone. Today''s youngsters can''t face playing in all weathers, some have OCD , they can''t do anything without playing on games consoles, or computers. Norfolk will get 350 apprenticeships, that will make it all better,...for some. The vast majority is sitting at home doing sweet f...all.They can''t cook, many eat cheap processed food, and our casualty unit are creaking under the weight of modern wo/man, special beds will have to be bought, as if an epedemic of bad American habits is sweeping the country. And that when we have the most healthiest diets in Europe, i.e. the Mediterranean diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted August 6, 2012 I freely admit that it is much easier to put on weight than it is to lose it. I was once about 5 stone too heavy, and I now have to work hard at keeping the lard at bay. I don''t think the war on weight will ever be won for me as I love food and drink so much.

Herman 11,114 Posted August 6, 2012 [quote user="Truculent Trucker"]Two Big Macs and fries please![/quote]I have the odd MacD''s and yesterday was no exception.But for once i properly looked at the nutrional info.Nearly 70% worth of your daily fat allowance is in a big mac and large fries.Bit worrying really.

AJ 1,345 Posted August 7, 2012 McDonalds isn''t that unhealthy when you look at some places. Check out the nutrition info for the meals in Weatherspoons. You''d be horrified if you think a Big Mac is bad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,114 Posted August 7, 2012 I am not going to look from now on. I would not eat anything otherwise. All in moderation as they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,345 Posted August 7, 2012 That''s the best way Herman! I never bother looking unless I''m buying the cheaper supermarket stuff, because you''ve got to watch that sometimes! Other than that, I do a bit of exercise to keep in shape and I''ve never had a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
