Sweet! All that crap about eating healthy...
From now on, I'm going to NOT be careful with my diet and give free snacks SUPER hugh in cholesterol to kids and tell them that everything they hear is false....

What causes you to take this stance. I am curious.

I told you: medical research.

And where did I say that kids should eat only fat and sugar?

Exactly what I was trying to get at a few weeks ago in one of these Americans r fffat threads. Now I have a Dutch journalist and a French intellectual who agree!

They need to start by serving better food at the cafeterias in public schools. My god, that is some of the worst food for you I have ever eatten. I try to eat the best I can at university, but sometimes due to a lack of free time I find myself grabbing a slace of pizza for dinner.

Did you notice that the Americans-'R'-Fat notion is a favourite theme of anti-Americanism the world over, capitalising on the supposed symbolism of U.S. imperialism and parables about the ugly American 'guzzling' the world's riches?

Of course you did.

When trans fats are mentioned, Iraq and Kyoto are never far away.

*lights another fag*

To be fair, the US has the largest percentage of obese people in the world, followed by Mexico, the UK, and a bunch of other western nations. Japan is twenty-seventh on the list. What deep, dark, corner of an arse you picked out Iraq is beyond me.

Pretty sure it was a reference to anti-Americanism, the Kyoto reference had to do with perceptions of America, not how fat the Japanese are.

So stating an opinion based on clear valid data is anti-American?

I understand where Adrian is coming from, but the approach is flawed in itself.

I certainly did, but it was the marketing aspects that really sank it home for me. I had my cousin over from Sydney and listening to how shocked she was at how many commercials we have on TV that are aimed at weight loss. No other country has such a huge fast food industry, and a weight loss industry that feeds directly off it. Weight loss of course is the higher leveraged of the two since their claims are loosely backed up by medical opinions so their claims don't look half as foolish as they really are. So what the hell should we do? How about we skew the BMI once again and get a whole new lot into the gyms and hooked on diet shakes

Why aren't any of the people in disbelief about this challenging AdrianII's statement about American life expectancy going up every single generation?

*puffs lazy smoke rings*

Medical research that you cannot even hint at because of an antiOCD.

You said that having low cholesterol is more likely to kill me that having high cholesterol, which according to you will not harm me at all. While having low cholesterol may end up making you sick, having unacceptably high cholesterol will also make you very ill. Why in the world you think hyperlipidemia (which is the main problem associated with hypercholesterolemia) has nothing to do with high cholesterol is beyond me.
