Fat Kids

KilOit

Paedo's aren't gonna kidnap a fat sweaty kid anyway so parents could relax a bit and let them walk to school to lose the lard, only when they turn into lean damn sexy kids can they start to worry again.

And i think this is what is wrong in the first place,if any fat kid was getting tormented in school or on street im sure their parents would be there to defend them in the first place,this is what is wrong,ireland seems to bend the rules in everything in general laziness in parenting or just the typical ah sure its grand we ignore that issue.

Btw,Anyone ever noticed,there's never any fat kids in the McDonalds adverts?.

I vaguely remember reading in one of the Morgan Spurlock books a reproduced McDonalds internal memo specifying that overweight people were not to be used in advertising.

Have you heard the new McDonalds adverts by the way? Goes something like 'When family time feels like this you know you're in McDonalds' A very cynical advertising ploy but what else would you expect from them.

Sensible answer : we are eating a lot of stuff that Irish people never ate before ... me, I notice that after eating MSG in Chinese takeaway food, I bloat for a day or more, before my body gets back to normal and the belly disappears. Hard to process stuff that you have not had to for 10,000 years.
Pasta and massive amounts of cheese have entered our diet and they are not your friends.

After-Hours answer : fat burns better than candles so maybe there is a future for the little (big assed) fecks. Fuel for engines.

Obesity levels have gone up sharply since the promotion, in the 1980s, of the strange idea that a low-fat diet is healthier.

Before that most people ate butter, fat meat, fry ups etc and were thinner and healthier.

The amount of exercise kids engage in doesn't make a big difference in their weight. The major factor is the type of food they eat.

Yep and low fat diets make people miserable and depressed aswell.

I decided to examine my diet a few months ago because I had so little energy and I started eating a lot of high fat foods and my energy and overall mood has been better than it's ever been.

I also agree with what you said there about exercise not having a massive impact on their weight but I do think it has a major impact on their health.

It's hard for a fossil to process anything....

Cheese has been a big part of the Irish diet for many many generations.

I think the original quote mentioned both pasta and cheese not being our friends and yep pasta is no good but cheese is ideal, high fat, high protein, and no carbs and the only reason high fat diets are bad is because peoples bodies are trained to burn carbs for energy instead of burning fat for energy.

Pasta and cheese shouldn't even be compared to each other

You obviously know this Poor Uncle Tom but the person who made the comment is probably another person who is consistently being fed poor nutritional information from the media/government/schools telling them that fat is bad for you!
