For me the 'malnourished' are the wobbling masses of blubber I see with trolly loads of rubbish in the supermarkets.
I totally agree with you, Meg!

Re: " Let Them Eat Cake"

It's all to do with reading and learning about what's good for you. Too many people are simply ignorant of how to look after themselves and end up with no self-respect.
It's obvious that cake, chocolate and sugar are bad for you and if we are concerned about living to a ripe old age, relatively illness-free, our diet is the most important factor we should abide to.

What a boring, soul destroying existence. I'd rather eat drink and be happy even if that did mean a shortened life.

Everything in moderation though, Joe. You're asking for it if you don't partake in a little healthy food.
I may appear to be the embodiment of all things fitness to some, but I do divulge in pizza, chocolate and of course, beer at the weekends

Haha. But that's holidays Joe. I've just returned from Tenerife and I just fall apart when I'm on my hols - beer noon (or earlier) till night, snacks all day long. Think is though, I was still back at the gym again the next day and back on my normal diet and I've lost all the excess weight I added when I was away
Trouble is, it's my birthday this weekend and it will all be going to pot again!

It's a side note, but this topic is among the reasons why the young need really need to be better taught to prepare for the eventuality of old age and fixed incomes in a world in which emergencies and inflation are givens.
And lack of physical work?

Donkeyman! 🤔🤔
