Yes I am! Give me chocolate and I leave the steak
on the plate.
You are what you eat? Then vegetarians should be like
rabbits, shouldn't they?

That's not logical Cal.
Steak eaters should be like cows and fish eaters have popped out eyes and a chin going up and down applying the maxim that way which I feel it my duty to say is hardly scientific.Rabbits eat clover which is why they are such sweet creatures.
Could you eat rabbit pie?

I forgot to mention that chocolate is lard with sugar mixed in mainly.

I don't know about rabbit pie, but I have eaten rabbit,
and yes I know the ingredients of chocolate - I still love it.

One Hershey's milk chocolate bar, one piece at a time slowly, savoring every bit!
You are so logical-minded, Spendi-! Don't you know not everyone can be so black and white? I wonder what your profile would be on a psychological test such as the MBTI (Meyers Briggs Type Indicator)!
Shall we talk more of eating food and the whole "body for food or food for the body" subject or would you care to delve into the realm or psychology?

Delve away young lady.But food is psychological if my attitude is not operative.Taste is a conditioned response in the main.One can easily come to associate certain tastes with a sense of superiority.

"Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls."

I agree about the psychology of food, definitely. Taste associated with superiority - In your opinion, how is this so?
Spotted dick, Never tried it. It's British, isn't it?
(Sounds 'inappropriate' to an American!)
How would you describe it?

It's flour,sugar,margarine,eggs and currants in a cement mixer then steamed and,served with custard,feeds the whole school and renders them semi-comatose for first afternoon lessons.It's pretty good though when you are hungry and don't know what it's doing to your insides.
Would you associate caviar with superiority or "canapes" say.I judge drink by % alcohol.Bangs for bucks principle.
Have you ever felt ever so slightly posh pigging out?

I forgot to say that it is rolled out in long tubular shapes about 4" in diam before steaming by dinner ladies and the spots are the currants.

Spotted dick sounds a bit like a bread pudding.
I suppose I feel that way when at a posh soiree.
And you the same?
Do you prefer "high octane" liquor then?

No.I never feel posh when eating.Monty,that's Hugh Montgomerie-Massingbird,used to hide away to eat as he felt is was such a disgusting activity.If he had to go public on his journalistic travels,which were quite extensive,he would get a table in a corner and sit facing into it.Have you never noticed how certain types of ladies hold a pretty little napkin when they are eating to dab their lips with.
I once observed just such a lady put away about 50,000 calories in a fairly short time and she was so genteel about it I can still get a good giggle now,years later,just thinking about it.She must have been sixteen stone.

Alas, too heavy for my height, according to The Pundits, though very healthy with it. Brahmins also eat facing walls or alone, they feel it the height of bad taste and lower-casteliness to eat with people.
How does one distinguish between health fads and genuine chemistry in the press?

Yes, but sometimes don't bother. It doesn't seem to change whether I watch it or not. Have been on some cleansing fasts which are good - more for general health than thinness.
Does a Vegan or vegetarian diet give you all you need, e g omega oils?

It is said,in two reports in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,that the omega-3 oils in fish are "highly unstable oils" and that in vegetables,fruit and beans that is not the case.
But I do not know myself.That's what somebody else said.The ref is Am J Clin Nutr 1991;53:177-78 ans 1991;53;178
You can look it up and draw your own conclusions.
I hope what I ingest gives me all I need.I'm not daft enough to be certain though.

No, not anymore. After following Atkins diet for more than 2 months I've had enough of these diet fads. And also they might be bad for your health. Although I don't have a weight problem at all, in fact, I have to gain a few more pounds. It's just that my body doesn't look right, and most people shocked to hear how much I weigh comparing to my looks, I look fatter. Now, I'm following my own diet, "Eat what you want, but not too much of what you want." and it's working great! I still weigh the same but I look a lot better, plus the exercise. (3-4 times a week.)

Yes and no. They say: "If you want to make God laugh, make plans." There are things I'd like to do.
Man, that's such a general question! I could go on all day!
I'll aske you the same: Do you have a plan for the future? And go you one better, what is your plan?
