Hi - just found this piece of information and thought I would share it with you! This must be where we're going wrong!!

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you!

BTW - banded for 6 weeks - lost 21 pounds - woohoo!! :clap2:

Priceless! I almost didn't read this post, thinking you were one more person who had all the answers, but this is great! And way to go with -21 pounds!

Loved that one....... Do you mind if I share that with my coworkers?

So true. I think everything in moderation is the best bet.

I've always said that -- butter gives you heart attacks, but margarine gives you strokes. Burgers give youmad cow but chicken gives yousalmonella. Wine protects your brain, beer protects your heart. I guess it's all Russian roulette anyways -- you just get to pick how you want to go! But now I know -- it's the LANGUAGE, not the FOOD! Thank you thank you thank you! er, ah I mean Merci, Merci beaucoup, merci!

Ould-way Ig-pay Atin-lay Ork-way? If Pig Latin counts I can drink my beer and wine and have no worries, lol! Thanks for sharing the laugh!

Gracias! Gracias!!

this is great. I'm gonna have to dig out those Spanish books and learn it all over again. I only retained the words for food and the swear words. LOL

And anyway, if you give up all the bad stuff do you really live longer? Or does it just feel like it?

Priceless! I almost didn't read this post, thinking you were one more person who had all the answers, but this is great! And way to go with -21 pounds!
