You just have to marry rich and have a employed cook

I always trained a lot in my life, although it have gone up and down the last years. currently I aim for 5 times a week, mostly football. I eat a lot of fruits. Fruits and meat, I also eat vegetarians.

Don't worry. I will cook for you baby

Anyway, someone raised an interesting debate. Why people is getting more and more fat , especially in some countries ? What are the cultural values that take the human being to that degree ?

Possibly for the fact in the UK to buy meat,and some vegetables will cost you

Beef = £3.50 to £10.00 depending on the quality of meat
Vegetables
Potatoes = £3.00
Carrotts = £1.50
Peas (frozen) = £70

making it in total in the cheapest scenario nearly £10 thats €12.80 and then you have to take it home and prepare and cook it taking you about 1 hour or you can go and call at McDonalds and pick up burger,chips and cola for £5.00 or go home and call for Pizza or Chinease meals delivered for £7.00 its ready cooked and hot delivered straight to the doorstep no effort or fuss, i think the majority of it is lazyness Gio people cant be bothred to get up and cook they would rather have it deliverd ready made for them

Very strange. Cooking on your own is generally cheaper. Pasta is not expensive, even in Britain i guess (and with 1kilo of it you have 10 meals). Boiling water and cooking spaghetti is cheaper and quicker than waiting for a pizza. You can buy already made toppings, like pesto or others.

In general Britain is more expensive, but haveyou tried the local open air markets?

It is really hard for me to believe that food in England cost three times as much as in Sweden. 4 times as expensive potatoes? a homemade meal for me is very seldom more than 5€. If it is more then it comes down to a expensive meat. I even have some (conserved) ravioli at home that costed me 0.4€.

the thing that really is expensive is mostly fruit.

as tempting as ballet is, i think i'll pass

plus i don't give out freebies, sorry .... i'm expensive but worth every moment

As a Latter Day Saint (Mormon), I have an intertwined personal/spiritual strict code to follow.
No consumption of alcohol and caffiene (cola, coffee, tea, etc). No smoking, tobacco and other stuff narcotic in nature. Go easy on the meat and have a balanced diet. Personally I have a disinclination for any kind of desserts especially after a meal. I very seldom will put a cookie, cake, pie, sweet roll, ice cream, candy, etc in my mouth. Its not that I dont like these things. I just dont care to have them. Trust me... they DO taste good!
We also have "Fast offerings" where the cost of my meals I will save and then give to charity. Those of us who are more fortunate will be more generous to give more than that money saved as a fast offering.
Now that I'm away from home, I lack the luxury of my gym room. So I do a lot of walking. I also actively have a slew of hobbies... hunting, fishing, gardening, polo, golf, football and so forth.
Besides my normal work, I use as much time I can to do things outside my personal benefit as I am doing now as a missionary. Keep in mind... my calling here in the church is voluntary, including no salary. I still must maintain my personal income means in addition to my ministerial duties.
So I guess what I am saying is that I watch what I eat, I exercise, I enjoy what I do for work and also help others in their work and enjoy that as well. Late LDS President Gordon B Hinckley said it best: "put behind us our weaknesses, and go forth with energy and increased resolution to improve the world about us, in our homes, in our places of employment, in our social activities."

i am a long distance runner. train through the year for the various marathons and half marathons i partake in through the year. During winter, i take a little break in running and focus on the weight training and core building. What they say about a runner's high is absolutely true.
