I just forget to eat, am slightly underweight, hate to cook, do it badly but nutritionally correctly. Crickets have zero food value, so the WEF can eat bugs themselves or put them in some other orifice.

My friends hate me, at least those who struggle with weight. Too bad, so sad.

My Japanese wife and I just came back from Okinawa . Americans everywhere . At least 50% of the Americans I saw were obese . Backsides 2 or 3 feet wide . Men whose gutys were so big they couldn’t see their shoes . Okinawa is Japan but we experienced some culture shock there hehe .

Considering that the "ideal weight" is a derived statistical mean, how can more than half of the world be overweight?

Shouldn't the powers that determine such things recalculate the average weight?

And the 47% not knowing how to cook meals.

” I wonder why American tourists are going to Okinawa? New cruise ship destination?”

Every day from Hilton Hotel veranda saw cruise ships out in the ocean off Okinawa . I’d assume families of military ( 26,000 stationed ) also visit . I’ve rad that 15% of the total of Oki is used by USA . Staggering amount .
