I have never tried them. But I bet they are more healthy than
standard American fare.
I wonder what proportion of fat gits are in the population of
France compared with America?


I hear Americans think McDonalds is a restaurant. Is this true?
Restaurant is a French word BTW.


The weight thing is not a personal issue with me. I'm lucky. I'm
not defending or supporting any group/country. Just get tired of
the pot calling the kettle black and the rest of the dumb asses
who, just because it sounds good, jump on the bandwagon and
actually know absolutely nothing about a subject.


Time to STFU on this one Harry.

Are you from Mississippi? Fattest state in fattest country! :-)
Most Macdonalds I imagine.


Never been there. Right now, opposite end of the east coast about 50 mi
from Canada. I have lived below the Mason-Dixon line in both VA & NC if
that helps your plight.

Also, afraid I'm right in my weight range on the charts.

Level with us Harry. You're really in the Bronx aren't you? Or maybe in a
trailer in Kentucky :-)

No, I am not a conspiracy theory person. *I see no reason not to

I don't discount the possibilty, but there is no credible evidence
that is was a CIA/FBI plot.

What is interesting is how the Saudis present in the country were
allowed to leave when no-one else was.


Not surprising. The Saudi "royals" have been thick with the Prescott/
Bush family for generations back.

Just like the Prescott/Bush dynasty was thick with the Nazis before &
during WW II.

But not half as interesting as blaming Saddam and inventing WMDs.


Cheney and his (discredited) "informant" Curveball, along with
Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and the rest of the oil crowd did a
professional job selling this B.S. to the ignorant and gullible
American public. NOTHING must be allowed to interfere with the US-
Saudi oil relationship. If Saddam thought he could bust up that cabal
and take over, plus denominating prices in Euros instead of Dollars --
why, he had to be taught a lesson!!!

Never mind how much it would cost in the blood of our sons and
daughters ...and those of the other countries that were bullied or
bribed to join the "coalition".

I expect they have special American charts.
I am slightly overweight but not obese.

No, I live in the English midlands in a rural location. I was born
in the North of England. Spent a lot of time in Wales.
Worked for the government all my life, mostly in the NHS as an
engineer.
Now retired on a reasonable pension. Well good by todays standards now
everything is f****d up over here.

Heh Heh, I did live in a trailer for a short time whilst I was doing
up a house.
I had enough after three months. No joke living in a trailer I can
tell you.

Funny (peculiar) you should mention that.
Whilst I was visiting my e-pal in Iowa, I met a friend of his whose
wife had had half her intestine removed. (To lose weight) Or even
more than half maybe.

They had really f****d up the job and she was in a really bad way poor
woman. Basically they took out too much. The procedure certainly
worked, she was thin. But she was very ill (gonna die ill) and could
eat no solid food.
Pity, they were real nice people.

I read somewhere that If the entire USA was converted to methanol
production it might make a quarter of road fuel used today. ie waste
of time.
Meanwhile food shortfalls cause world price rises.

Heh Heh, I grow my own corn in my garden. It is however something of
a novelty food over here.
It is only relatively recently (15-20 yrs) that strains have been
devised that grow well in our climate. But now it is as good as in
the US.

Fresh sweet corn here in Wisconsin is excellent! I don't use butter
or salt! (Some people who use butter have never tried it without)

Proponents of methanol say, it's not food-just feed corn for animals.
What a load...it is protein none the less and can be made palatable!

Try living in a house in southern NC during August with no AC. Did that
for the first two weeks of a rehab I did until the AC got straightened
out. Guess a trailer in the same location/timeframe would be worse.

Lack of AC is virtually never a problem here. We very rarely have
climatic extremes.
More than 85degF is rare here as is less than 25.
We did have zero F last Winter but it was the lowest temperature ever
recorded.
