"Oz" wrote in message ... Tim Tyler writes Having a healthy diet simply isn't as stressful as you are making out. The way you have been putting it, I wouldn;t agree. For nearly everybody keeping one's weight to 70% of the 'ideal' weight results in permanent hunger. I've seen the horizon programme where people had been doing it for a little while (like a few years). They all showed marked stress, not hard to figure out why. Rather as vegetarians often make the (honest) claim that a meat free diet improves athletic performance. Of course it does, it does the same for almost all carnivores, because when they haven't eaten meat for a while catching prey can be a matter of life of death. It doesn't mean that it's actually good for your body to feel it's on the verge of pursuing and killing something all the time - particularly if it never happens. Michael Saunby |

So, in your view, was King Henry innocent in respect of Becket's murder? He didn't physically do the deed, but he incited his henchmen to do it. |

"Michelle Fulton" wrote in message . .. "Michael Saunby" wrote in message ... Hardly, the manufacturer simply made what the researchers had developed - and you can't blame them either because they allowed a government ministry to have the final say, and they only did what the minister told them to do, and he has appointed by the government, who were in turn given power by the voters. It isn't fair to blame the voters either, since so many people didn't vote, their not voting almost certainly affected the outcome of the election. So I blame the lazy shits who didn't vote at recent general elections - if indeed anyone has been poisoned. I think we should blame the idiots who eat something that is poisonous. They are the ones who are taking the *action* that actually causes them to be poisoned ;-) The government, manufacturer, supermarket and everyone else involved are only guilty of telling the public it's safe, right? The person who acts on what someone else said is the one at fault, according to Tim, right???? Possibly, if they know it is poisonous prior to eating it. I don't think Michael is right to blame voter apathy for shortcomings in Govt. policy, either, since there is nothing to suggest the political parties' policies would have been any different had there been 100% voter turnout. |
