Junk food is bad for your health in London but Islam isn’t!

I consider myself overweight. I try to control that by drinking lots of water during the day, adding a lot of soups, fruits and vegs to the menu.
I still smoke, but it’s greatly reduced now compared to twenty years ago. Back in the 90’s I had my MORE Menthol cigarettes. I smoked a pack a day. That was when a whole carton was about $7.00, and the public’s attitude about smoking was different. Today a carton can run $45. or more.

Now, I smoke my Marlboro Ultra-Light Menthols.
I only smoke from three to five cigs a day now, if that.
Many times, I just want a few puffs for the flavor, then I’m all set for a while. Now, there are some apartment buildings that won’t rent to you, unless you smoke outside, or at least in the doorway, as I do. I have adjusted to the world of today.

Bottom line is, if I did not smoke those few cigarettes I do on a weekly basis, I probably would be eating even more food. IOW, Sometimes, Mother knows best. BUT in moderation.
***Many folks will use physical activity as a stimulant and diversion. This works too. Due to my ongoing foot problems, I don’t do a lot of physical activity, so I get resourceful.

“The terrible capitalist First World where we have the fattest poor people on the planet.”

Every time I see someone claiming to be poor that is fat I think of my childhood where poor people were ragged and skinny, lived in shacks and probably too poor to own a junk vehicle.

Today I think poor is defined as those wishing more entitlements so they do not have to work.

Keep the kids thin so their new muzzy rapists will be happy with them.

The UK is actively bringing in millions of savages who rape kids and is giving them a free pass, deliberately. So my first sentence isn’t that outrageous after all.

I saw a billboard today in Chatsworth, CA that said they would ship marijuana to your home.
