Guess they never heard of Chris Christy.
I'm having lunch.
UKIP’s Nigel Farage called Belgium “a non-country”. He was right.
Gotta be satire.
20 stone is 280 pounds
Pretty hefty for a Prime Minister?
Maggie “Around” De Block.
The article states that she was “unmoved by hunger strikes”. I’m thinking that she’d be unmoved by a Cat 5 hurricane.
The picture of this porcine Administrator makes
the First Caboose look sickly thin.
“she wields her wheelbarrow
through streets that are narrow
her barrow is narrow her hips are too wide
for wherever she wields it
the neighborhood feels it
her girdle keeps scraping the homes on each side...”

General rule: don’t take nutrition advice from fat people.
What their waistline is telling you is one of:
- the advice doesn’t work
- the advice is too hard too follow
- the advice is only for little people
Another general rule is: don’t take nutrition advice from governments.
In the specific case of the MyPlateOfMetabolicSyndrome diet from the USDA (which all other agencies parrot), read either “Death by Food Pyramid” (Minger) or “The Big Fat Surprise” (Teicholz) for the whole facepalm story of how we ended up with a flat out toxic official diet.
The some things you might THINK you know about diet:
- get most of your calories from “healthy whole grains”
- that amounts to 60% from carbohydrates, which is OK
- low fat is ideal
- avoid saturated fat
- use “vegetable oil”
- unfermented soy is fine
- count your calories
Suppose ALL of that is completely false.
Who would tell you?
Well, any number of paleo/primal/LCHF MDs have been proposing more sane diets for some time, but the most up to date guidance is “Wheat Belly Total Health” (Davis), which is about much more than the serious problems with wheat.
“Crikey! It’s Mrs. Creosote!”
We’re ahead of the curve in the United States. Sure, we have do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do dietary busybodies dictating the country’s nutritional requirements, but we don’t elect them to office. They get there by marriage.
She made a statement to the press, but it must have been garbled in translation:
“Pah. Manga wanjee kohkpah (ooohl) Peecha wahnjee kohkpa tahng nahngee toochantkee troi. (puhhh) Fohtooh ma Solo kaychahlah.”
Personally I see their point, my Son was heavy as a child and we took him to a physical exam at our new HMO, the friggin DR. was HUGE, a good 400 pounds of opulence. The whale proceeded to berate my 12 year old son for all of about three minute before I told him to shut his gaping pie hole and follow his own advice first. It’s not that someone oversize doesn’t know of what they speak but it makes accepting their wisdom tuff on certain subjects.
She could be mayor of Houston!
Why do they still use the “stone” as a unit to express the weight of a person?
I remember the UK when they still had crowns, half crowns, shillings and farthings, but is the UK not on the kilo/liter/meter system, today?
Still, I’d trade the Belgian fries and sauce for just about anything our self-appointed health minister in the white hut puts on children’s plates.
