Most of the older members of my family will eat the fat on their meat as well as anybody elses that has been left on the plate.

It goes back to rationing during world war two in Britain, nothing is wasted.

As for making a conscious decision to eat the fat for the "flavour"?

:eew:

I'm a human being not a lion on the serengeti.

I won't eat meat if its not properly cooked either, if I cut and it bleeds I refuse to eat it, I am not a vampire.

Perhaps people who take care of themselves well tend to be willing, or conditioned, to be more long-term focused.  Most people are too short-term focused.

What do you mean short-term focused?? I plan on living a long time. Most of my family live into their late 80s to late 90s, and we have eaten like this all our lives. I plan on eating like this till I can't eat anymore. Plus, most of my family was smokers, too. Hell, if I took care of myself, I might live too long.

Short-term focused doesn't mean you don't plan on living a long time or won't.  When someone is too short-term focused they do things like drive in the rain intoxicated, putting more importance on their convenience or fun at the time than the future them they are putting at unnecessary and big risk.  Another example would be how many people focus more on their weekend plans and what they are going to do this week, than they are caring about their retirement and saving for it.  Another example of being too short-term focused is doing things like smoking cigs.  People do it for the short-term pleasure or want, not their best long-term interest.

I know what you mean about long term. That's why I prioritize in two columns. One column for long term goals, and one for short term goals. Short term for things I want to accomplish within maybe 6 months to a year, and long term anything that will take over a year to accomplish.

As for smoking, to me, it's an addiction that started about 48 years ago, one that I have tried numerous times to overcome. It hasn't been as easy to do as with drinking and drugs. Those were easy.

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee lead the nation when it comes to obesity, a new government survey reported Thursday.





Overall, about 26 percent of to the CDC's telephone survery were obese.


More than 30 percent of adults in each of the states tipped the scales enough to ensure that the South remains the nation's fattest region.

Colorado was the least obese, with about 19 percent fitting that category in a random telephone survey last year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The 2007 findings are similar to results from the same survey the three previous years. Mississippi has had the highest obesity rate every year since 2004. But Alabama, Tennessee, West Virginia and Louisiana have also clustered near the top of the list, often so close that the difference between their rates and Mississippi's may not be statistically significant.


Top 10 Obese StatesThese are the 10 states with the highest levels of adultobesity, according to a 2007 survey by the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention.1. Mississippi, 32.0 percent2. Alabama, 30.33. Tennessee, 30.14. Louisiana, 29.85. West Virginia, 29.56. Arkansas, 28.77. South Carolina, 28.48. Georgia, 28.29. Oklahoma, 28.110. Texas, 28.1 Source: Associated Press
Why is the South so heavy? The traditional Southern diet -- high in fat and fried food -- may be part of the answer, said Dr. William Dietz, who heads CDC's nutrition, physical activity and obesity division.

The South also has a large concentration of rural residents and black women -- two groups that tend to have higher obesity rates, he said.

Colorado, meanwhile, is a state with a reputation for exercise. It has plentiful biking and hiking trails, and an elevation that causes the body to labor a bit more, Dietz said.

Obesity is based on the body mass index, a calculation using height and weight. A 5-foot, 9-inch adult who weighs 203 pounds would have a BMI of 30, which is considered the threshold for obesity.

CDC officials believe the telephone survey of 350,000 adults offers conservative estimates of obesity rates, because it's based on what respondents said about their height and weight. Men commonly overstate their height and women often lowball their weight, health experts say.

"The heavier you are, the more you underestimate your weight, probably because you don't weigh yourself as often," Dietz said.
Overall, about 26 percent of the respondents were obese, according to the study, published this week in CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

A different CDC survey -- a gold-standard project in which researchers actually weigh and measure survey respondents -- put the adult obesity rate at 34 percent in 2005 and 2006, the most recent years for which there are data.


Is being fat a crime? IN THIS PC WORLD, it sure seems to be.

I guess these people need to COMPLY to PC guidelines.

Now nevermind the Bromine that has been introduced in to our foods. Which has the ability to turn lose fats into solids.

We use to eat Iodine...but those days are gone...now we have evil fat bastards that need the state to tell them how to live, after the fed and the states regulated so much towards the conditions of today.
