Paul Watson12-Jul-04 4:54 Paul Watson 12-Jul-04 4:54  I have discovered girls, even a few women. But much as life without women is intolerable so is life without good food and all too often "healthy" eating results in bland, unejoyable eating experiences. There is fantastic healthy food out there, it is more the fault of health nuts imposing repressive lifestyles on people to meet unrealistic and unhappy life goals. Bottom line for me is to enjoy what I eat. In the company of a good woman is even better, so long as she enjoys food too. No fun trying to enjoy a meal while your dinner partner picks over a lettuce leaf and blanches at your orders. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."

Maybe you just haven't tried good, healthy food? Eating healthy doesn't mean sacrificing taste. Also, it's worth noting that your body gets used to what you put in it. So, the more you eat Broccoli (just an example) the more you acquire a taste for it. Also, there's nothing wrong with being healthy and having the occasional "bad" meal. But, there's nothing fun about somebody being in poor overall health, it's sad really. And a poor diet is a quick way to get there. Jeremy Falcon Re: How to eat ultra healthy?

My dad, overweight as he is, is a much happier person than many of his thin friends. My uncle is ultrafit, runs marathons, eats right etc. etc. and has had 2 heart attacks. My dad may die a bit earlier than some healthier people but he'll die happier. Sure, you can combine health and happiness but it is not done by many. And yes there are many unhappy, overweight people. Some of that lot are unhappy because they are made to feel ugly thanks to the media and money-making diet and body-image nazis. I guess, as usual, moderation is key. And that brocolli arguement is just terrible Jeremy! People can get used to eating maggots and horse manure too you know. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."

You can combine overweight and happiness too, but not by many. In fact, I'd be willing to bet *most* overweight people either A: are unhappy or B: pretending to be happy. From Paul Watson: And yes there are many unhappy, overweight people. Some of that lot are unhappy because they are made to feel ugly thanks to the media and money-making diet and body-image nazis. So, all health issues aside, would you marry an obese chick and be *completely* content with her weight? If not, then this is hypocritical. From Paul Watson: I guess, as usual, moderation is key. That's with everything. You can overdo exercise and cause problems (maybe the case with your uncle - who knows) or you can overdo laziness and cause problems. From Paul Watson: And that brocolli arguement is just terrible Jeremy! People can get used to eating maggots and horse manure too you know. Why? What makes an eating experience less enjoyable besides taste? If you talking about people, that's not the food's fault. Jeremy Falcon Re: How to eat ultra healthy?
