fat just clogs all your other organs like your liver and heart... and whats left over sits on your hips for ever more.

As I understand it, it is the combination of a high fat, high carb diet, which happens to typify the 'feed me quick' frozen section in supermarkets and take away stores, which has given a rise to obesity and diabetes.

Insulin is the problem, high carbs cause you to produce more insulin, just like sugar because carbs are quickly turned to sugars. Fat does not use insulin to break down. Fat takes more energy to break down.

From that article I posted:

Now if you eat high carb/sugar and high fat, which junk food is, bad. I eat a lot of fat, meat, greens, the carbs I eat are mostly wholemeal, I  eat very little sugar. I am not fat.

we have a lot of people who depend on our sugar industry...

and I am sorry but I dont think the govt is responsible in any way for the obesity problems...we have gone mad thinking the govt can fix everything..

we have to take responsibility for our own actions  like how we spend our money and what we put into our very olwn bodies..

after all what we are when we are older is never taken into consideration..... we see what smoking will do to our lungs.. but not what bad eating habits will do to our bodies as we age.......thats  when it comes home to roost...

everything working at a terrific rate to clean our systems  when we are young......... then they are worn out by the time you really depend on them....your poor old heart is a wreck...along with a few other things... all jaded and slow as hell.

Have you ever visited a public hospital, and seen the smokers out the front?

Patients in their dressing gowns, sitting in wheelchairs, hooked up to a drip, sucking on a fag.

If I were in charge, those patients would not be allowed back inside the hospital.

Their belongings would be packed up and delivered to them on the footpath, and a taxi would be called to escort them off the premises.

If you don't want to help yourself while you're in hospital, don't expect low-paid doctors and nurses, funded by tax payers' money, to help you either.

I was in hospital many moons ago and a doctor came storming out of a room saying I refuse to operate on her until she stops smoking he was red in the face...

a nurse told me he was a heart doctor  and this was her 3rd warning...smoking was killing her..a bit of a thankless job saving someone who doesnt value their life.

well bad fats are sadly the ones we all crave  like the chips and takeaway...and even good fat does need to be watched..... we changed after the WAR years.. where just about everything was restricted.. and it didnt do us any harm. at all.. then came pasteurization  of everything...no more things going off after 5 days....we could now keep it for 12 months....and longer.. and then of course came speed everything had to cook faster..or come out of a packet...little did we know..

I remember cheese coming with a huge piece of rind on it made out of cloth..it was delicious you could smell it..... now its a plastic lump in a plastic bag...with a 6 month useby date on it.
