I don't like pizza, it tastes like dog food. [addsig]

Pizza isn't really that unhealthy. It's got a decent load of complex carbohydrate, but it also covers the dairy food group and vegetables. In fact, my sister-in-law, who is a professional dietician, considers pizza relatively healthy.

I had pizza for dinner last night, but only because I was working and I only had ten minutes for dinner in the hospital.

Sure, it's not as unhealthy as some other things you get at fast food joints, but I still don't consider it to be edible. [addsig]

True, but you are thinking of real pizza, not the crap you get from Pizza Slut or Domino's. If you go to a mom and pop pizza shop on the other hand, you get a whole different class of food.

Except that Italians are statistacly the longest lived people in the world... Probably Italian-american is different though.

I think the bigest problem is quanity realted, not quality or even exercise. Many parents used to (and still do) punish their children for not eating everything that is put in front of them. This, in my opinion, is THE leading cause of obiesity. If you are trained to eat everything in sight at an early age, there is no way you will grow up in a healthy way.

Well, satchmo, if you wanted to end "fat kids" the American way you can sue all the fast food chains. Join the revived class action suit against McDonalds. (it was thrown out two years ago ... it's back apparently) [addsig]

I wanna take ALL the fat in america off of EVERYONe and transplant it magically onto Osama Bin Laden. This way we would not be all fatty, AND we would be able to capture the now-312,993,100-pound Osama Bin Laden, thus ending TWAT (The War Against Terrorism) and getting all american troops out of Iraq. Once the MAIN terrorist on the list is caught there can be NO WAY bush can keep up the charade. Solving 2 problems with one fell swoop! I truly amaze myself. [addsig]

I believe you're thinking of Okinawa, a small Pacific island inhabitted by mostly people of Japanese ancestry. They do, however, have their own culture and own cuisine.

People frequently live into their nineties and even over a hundred on the island. They eat largely fish for their entire lives. And of course, no fast food until recently.

I remember hearing about some doctor telling his patient to take up smoking because she was about 100 and had the health of a 50 year old. Anyway.

Nickel ... you should read some of the documents they've released ... finding Bin Laden would do nothing. Not to mention, the tactics and even ideas that Bush has delivered are not his own. I mean, I hate the guy ... but there are other people doing most of the orchestrating. The very fact that we underestimated the Iraqi force was Rumsfeld fault ... I don't know why he has his position. He's never served ... ever. And he ignored several lessons we learned in Vietnam.

That's what my fiance said. She was so amazed that gamers and mappers would be so opinionated about a medically oriented issue. But I guess it's relevant to everyone, even for those who are not overweight.

When I originally started the thread, I just got out of the examination room and I was just fuming about what had happened. I had to vent my irritation somewhere. And the SnarkPit forum seems to be a receptive place.

At the time, I was at work, so I couldn't tell my co-workers (for patient confidentiality issues). But at the Pit, I am anonymous. So I could safely rant without divulging the identity of the patient.

That's a tremendous achievement. Kudos to him.

You can tell him that a doctor from the SnarkPit is impressed. Keep up the good work.

I think you're right, but Italians (and other Mediterranean populations) are also up there, so to speak.

Iraq doesn't have forces to estimate. It's a clever trick by the Sunni power groups (ie the Baathists) to lure the Americans into a quagmire of guerilla style sporadic attacks. You can't estimate a force that doesn't exist, had no indication of existing and is assimilated with the local populous.

Iraq is ever so slowly becoming a bigger mess each day. Proportional representation for a divided society will produce unstable governments, or easy access for Sunnis and friends to retake power. Failing that the "liberated" Shia people will establish an Iranian style theocracy, infinitely more dangerous than reactionary Sunni governments (Saddam, Syria) to the American ideals.

Hopefully it will teach them a lesson or two about using a position of responsibility and global trust in a way which isn't founded on lies and hearsay. Oh, and that whole "TERRORISTS IN IRAQ THING"

LOLZ

Sunnis have jack piss all to do with Al Qaeda (again, you can't track or hunt down an idea), and never have or had done. The whole situation is an embarassing mess for the US and the UK governments, and a massively destabilising factor for world peace.

GOGO WAR ON TERROR BRINGING PEACE TO THE WORLD!

or should that be imposing westernised ideals of freedom? pick and choose! it all fits. [addsig]
