i just read yesturdays papaer over breakfast today and read that....we are fat no doubt...i can't beleive we've gotten fatter than the US...26% is rridiculous...if your out with 8 people, 2 are obese, not cool

our governemt wants this to change but won't fund anything...there's no sport in schools anymore as they cut teacher's pay so there's none of that unless your at a sporting school

although i did read a while back that personal training might be written off as a tax deduction soon so they might get more off their fat asses

I thought only American's were fat like that.
In all honesty, I'm just sick of hearing about it. There is no way that collectively, as a society, people can have any excuse for not doing something to lose the fat. There is so much information out there on how to lose weight. It's not rocket science, even if a person sits on the couch all day, dropping the junk food will result is weight loss. And imagine if that same person went OUTSIDE AND WALKED for a half an hour daily. Far from ideal but it's a start at least.
I have no problem with funding sports programs in school with my tax dollars. but that's it. I don't want to pay for publicity campaigns, PT write-offs or anything else to "help" people lose weight. Help yourself, it costs nothing to eat less junk and move around a bit more.
There was a story in the paper the other day about a 22 year old guy who is crying because he has an 8 year wait for gastric bypass. He figures he'll be dead by then, because at 22, he's given up on even trying anything else. And he thinks his surgery should be publicly funded as well, since his risk of disease will decrease after surgery, therefore costing us less in the long run.
We live in a sick world.
End rant.

Here's a good one.

Kid of 13, weighed about 250lb's approx. Mother used to weigh 300lb's approx, but lost about 60%, of it.

She claimed her kid wouldn't eat healthy food, and that if she tried to stop him having junk, he would steal money from her and buy it.

Sounded like an excuse, and her in her position to help, making flimsy excuses.

Or another one where a woman about 40lbs overweight who smoked, lecturing her kid about weight issues.

Made me sick, she hadn't the right to lecture him, given her weight and habits. Crappy, loudmouthed woman, who represented no rolemodel at all for her kid.

roo meat is almost the leanest meat you'll find on this planet

Well I can't say anything about that except Mucho, to say they're fat for eating Kangaroo is a bit misinformed, unless you know the kind of Macro ratios in the Meat, you might be getting your facts wrong.

Not saying anything bad to you bud, but unless you make your comment look funny or jovial, you run of risk of looking like you're making a serious statement, that might not be accurate.

Again not saying anything bad to you, you seem like an okay guy, just letting you know sometimes the written word, doesn't appear the same as the spoken word.

It's all good though Smile

Sometimes it can be difficult reading a persons tone through email and writing. I've found that misinterpretations are quite common when working online. :)

Swanso... what does kangaroo meat taste like? Chicken? Is it a white meat?

swanso5 · Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2008 12:33 am Post subject:

it has as slightly different taste...it is red meat, sort of browny purple when you but it but cooks up brown like steak...it has mixed reviews over here too but i think it's great....steak is 10000000 dollars a kg over here at the moment as we're in drought so i don't get as much as i used to
