Junk food

[happy daze john in oz]

Once again there is talk here of adding a 'fat' tax to 'Junk' food, McDonalds etc. So far the government has not done so as they cannot find a name suitble to call it. If they say it is 'junk' food they will be sued out of existance. McDonalds, KFC etc will say their food eaten in moderation is not 'Junk', and they may well be right.

I have only once eaten McDonalds, a Cheeseburger in Regent Street London 1986, had I left the wax wrapping on I doubt it would have tasted any different and I can still recall the indegestion. Yet I did on so many occasions eat in the Wimpey bar in Oxford Street in my younger days.
Twice eaten KFC, the first time in Heathrow airport and recall thinking it cannot be this bad! A couple of years later just outside of Newcastle NSW I tried again nad decided I was right first time.

I am not a 'junk' food eater but do enjoy a family size Pizza in La Porcheta once a month, I get them to cut it into six pieces as I find eight is too much in one go.

How say you on 'Junk' food.

How say you on junk food

Working in Ethiopia in the 80's I would have paid the tax of any amount on a big mac or similar, went out at 10.5 stone came back at 8 stone, because we have food in abundance at our beck and call, we can easily criticise it. Could do to go back to get down to 10.5 stone.

Vladimir Putin's SHORTEST SPEECH EVER....


























































































Putin’s Speech on August 04, 2013. This is one time our elected leaders should pay attention to the advice of Vladimir Putin.... How scary is that?







On August 04, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:







"In Russia live like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of ******'s, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law.







Russia does not need ****** minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud the yell 'discrimination'.







We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The ******s are taking over those countries and they will not take over Russia.







The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and ******s. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the ****** Minorities Are Not Russians."







The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute standing ovation.







If you keep this to yourself, you are part of the problem!







It is a sad day when a Communist makes more sense than Barack Hussein Obama........ but here it is!!!!

I Have only ever been in a Macdonalds once in my whole life, Rotterdam, 1982, when in the dry docks, Never ever again.

Never ever set foot in a KFC, SPUD U LIKE, KEBAB SHOP, or any other fast food joint. I had a pizza Once that someone gave me, crap. it is what Ities eat.
Never ever eat Junk, crap, rubbish food. or any other fancy name they tart it up with. I have a lot of Respect for my stomach and health.
We only ever eat Healthy food, plenty of veggies, cabbage, Cauliflowers, Broccoli, carrots, etc, and plenty of fruit, grapes, Banana, apples home grown, strawberrys, every day. No spuds. No red meat, just plenty of Fish, turkey meat or chicken.
There is an epidemic of cancer caused by junk foods, that we never had 50 or 60 years ago.
All the crap meats are minced up so you don't recognise it and turned into burgers, do you really know what is in it??



Good Health
Cheers
