Re: If only with hindsight?

we have been conned into eating unhealthy food - supermarkets are full of processed foods often high in sugar - fruit has been treated with chemical sprays to make it last longer - it is now risky to eat the skin of apples, pears etc.

most of the meat is rubbish and filled with chemicals like anti-biotics - did you realize that all the best cuts are sold to the top restaurants in the nation and abroad and we eat the scraps.

ever watched River Cottage - he gives some good advice about healthy food and healthy eating unfortunately we can't all have a river cottage at the bottom of the garden. But I personally believe avoiding supermarkets as much as possible is a good way to go. If you can buy your vegie and fruit and meat from small local retailers it much better even with a slight price increase.

exercise - nothing like a good country walk or run each day to get the lbs off! we have become Tv and laptop couch potatoes!

alcohol I like too but we must realize that it is all empty calories - no goodness there just adding to your daily calorie intake without doing any good.

Ok off to the pub for a pint and a meat pasty - we can have treats sometime!

Re: If only with hindsight?

I don't want a world without Ben and Jerry's.

That said, I would have never picked up the first cigarette and worked on developing a career in my twenties instead of babies...

And skipped the human babies, dogs and cats are ever so much more grateful...

I exercise daily above and beyond many people but do I want to live to way old age? No I don't.

Given that my Mum at 66 lived longer than any woman on that side of the family don't think it's in the cards anyways.

Am I bitter? Not at all, a dark sense of humor is a tremendous help sometimes

If only I hadn't swapped ponies for boys...

Re: If only with hindsight?

or as Connie Francis once sang:

Where the boys are, someone waits for me
A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly

Where the boys are, my true love will be
He's walkin' down some street in town and I know he's lookin' there for me

In the crowd of a million people I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine
