rehmwa 2 #103 October 18, 2004 Wow what a flaming thread. 1 - fitness is important. Not sure how normal weight ranges affect that, but too skinny and too fat are problems. The standards are completely screwed up though. 2 - Theme restaurants everywhere (all countries I've been to - quite a few) have portion control issues. Doesn't mean you have to clear your plate. On a per capita basis, I'd say Michael Moore would put any country he is visiting the fattest nation on earth. 3 - Cambridge aside - the Nobel prize is not a gage of IQ, but more of a EuroCorrect PC trash kind of popularity contest. But people can think what they want if they need that kind of shallow self affirmation. But you have to wonder what they are compensating for.... 4 - The only time obesity will be on par with smoking is when fat people stand around and puke on everybody in a 50 foot radius every few seconds and think it's perfectly alright and get outraged when asked to cut it out. 5 - AADs are just fine 6 - RSLs are goofy 7 - The player coach rule needs to be fixed 8 - I have a plan 9 - Sheep eat plants 10 - In a total, you should cut away just in case during emergency procedures 11 - the 45 degree rule is fun (to watch people take seriously) fun thread, hardly any courteous posts in the bunch ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,123 #104 October 18, 2004 Great post. But I gotta disagree with you on the Nobel prize. It's one group's estimation of what has contributed significantly, and they've highlighted a lot of important stuff. The fact that it's not all American doesn't make it less important. We're awfully ethnocentric here in the US. Also RSLs -- they're not goofy. They're stupid insurance, and cutting away in a total should be optional, but whatever you practice in your emergency procedures (you do practice, don't you?) is what you should do. That is all Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

rehmwa 2 #105 October 18, 2004 QuoteThe fact that it's not all American doesn't make it less important. We're awfully ethnocentric here in the US.. one clarification - Though I did imply Euro/social/commo-centric attitudes in recent Nobel history, I didn't say anything about that equaling 'all American'. I'd say that there are many cultures and countries outside of Europe in addition to the US that are also important. You Americans, always thinking you are alone in the world..... sheeeeesh {{Not only do I practice EPs, I frequently check all my handles and straps several times during the ride to altitude including even my helmet buckle on climb out.

Tonto 1 #112 October 19, 2004 No. You don't live in the world. You live in the US. The rest of the world doesn't run rough shod over other nations. The country where the "World series" has 2 countries playing, both on the same continent. The country where visitors from other countries are refered to as "aliens." The country where you eat too much - even if it is in calories. You're eating 4000 - 5000kj a day. I think that's a lot. It's more than I eat, anyway, and I'm (conversion done for you..) 165lb 5'10. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misskriss 0 #113 October 19, 2004 Are you serious, Tonto? Maybe you did not do your converting properly but most average sized men would starve on 1200 calories a day. http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm Also, anytime someone uses a unit of measure are they supposed to post all equivalents for the entire world? I don't expect it of others and it's not that hard to google it and find out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #114 October 19, 2004 I am soooo sorry that my parents had the total lack of forethought to reproduce in the US thus making me a citizen. I guess I should go running off the nearest bridge since I have the nerve to continue living here despite the fact that I don't run rough shod over anything (and am against that completely), have never organized the world series, and do not refer to the term 'alien' outside of the context of that time I was abducted. No, 1200 calories is not much at all. The average person needs 2000 calories. Especially given that she says she's active in martial arts, etc. I also eat 1200 cal a day, and have so far lost 85lbs as a result, working on that last blasted stubborn 15. So, I humbly apologize for my nationality and my BMI of 24.8 as of this morning. Damn, I'm in a sarcastic mood today. Please excuse the raincloud over my head!

I'm sure it's not only the US that's capable of being ethnocentric. Yup, we still use calories here; such is life. But if you're eating that few kj or calories, that's less than most of the guidelines for people of your body weight and activity level. From an Australian website on nutrition, I got that the average basal metabolic rate for men is about 7100 kj per day; for women, it's about 5900. Of course, that number will fluctuate with activity level, but still, 4800 would be on the low side.

A new study shows that Canada's obesity epidemic is getting bigger. The research found that more than one quarter of kids aged three to five years old in Newfoundland and Labrador are overweight or obese. Even the youngest children who were three and a half, were also found to be significantly overweight or obese -- 26 per cent of them as well. Of the children surveyed in the study, 18 per cent were overweight, while eight per cent were obese. The study is published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. "We are seeing children as young as eight years of age being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, which at one time was called 'Adult onset.' Now it's in eight year olds -- certainly not adult onset anymore. And they have other kinds of problems that are indicative of later heart disease. They have high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels. It's a very serious problem." It's cheaper to buy two litres of pop than it is to buy two litres of milk--potato chips are cheaper than fresh fruits and vegetables. "Supersize Me" should be shown in all schools as part of education system. Even though rates of being overweight or obese tend to be higher in the Atlantic provinces, experts say the results should be a wake-up call for the rest of the country. In fact, studies show that rates of overweight and obese children have doubled in every province in Canada since 1981. I recently walked into a boy's -grade 6 gym class and observed the problems more than 1/2 were having simply touching their toes. Actually most were laughing as a few farted while bending over. ......................
