I know some people who are vegan. I know some who are total carnivores. I fall somewhere in between. I don't like beef and pork and don't eat them. I haven't in many years and would get sick if I tried.

I did have a friend ask recently if I abstained from those things for religious reasons. I told him that, as an Episcopalian, the only dietary restriction to which I'm bound is that I'm not allowed to eat my salad with my dinner fork.

LOL That's a good one, Rocky.

Me, I'm a total carnivore. The way I see it is, animals eat each other, some animals even eat humans, so why can't humans eat animals?

Easy to say when you don't have a checkup looming in less than a week.

Point.

I had my checkup in the spring. I got a clean bill of health, except for a Vitamin D deficiency, and I've taken steps to remedy that.

Hope your checkup goes well, Cleome.

Thanks, FL. But remember that if I don't come back, I'm counting on you to keep the thread alive...

You can certainly count on me.

Keep this thread alive
Keep this thread a-li-ive...

Oh, sorry, I forgot you don't care much for Queen.

No, no. I enjoy Queen. Kind of like with Heart, I just skip the "greatest hits" usually, because they've been so overplayed.

What is your favorite Queen song?

Ah, okay.

Personally, and no offense, I'm not really a fan of Ann Wilson's emoting. I like Nancy Wilson's voice much better.

Set was the one talking about Ann's guitar playing at some point. I've never gotten to see them live, though.

A few years back I rented a room at a karaoke bar for my birthday. Three friends and I sang "Bohemian Rhapsody". That song is a lot of fun when you're a little tipsy.

MAGNIFICO-OH-OH-OH-OH-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH

My friends and I love belting out the Glee version of Don't Stop Believing.



Not to mention, the Food Cops can't even get their rules straight! "You should eat six smaller meals a day!" "No, three big meals a day!" "It doesn't matter how many meals you eat, what matters is the total number of calories!" "No, don't eat anything after 6pm!"

Okay, whatever.

If it's good for you, it has more syllables.

Once upon a time "starch" was bad for you.

Then they decided it was good and called it "complex carbohydrates".

Then it became the evil "carbs".

Carbs are supposed to be responsible for making us fat.

That's what they say, anyway.

Eat moderate, regular amounts
Don't eat snack foods more than once in a while
Don't drink to excess
Eat fruit & veg with most meals.

I'm not following any of these, just making a list...

I've found stir fry dishes are the best way to eat healthy. They taste good and are a great way to get in all the vegetables you need to stay healthy.

Eat less. Eat better.

^Working for me!

it's "eat better". I thought it was "eat butter"... oh noes...

Down here in Texas, the state fair always has deep-fried butter. I've heard its pretty tasty actually.

"Parkay."

(For anyone who doesn't get that reference, it refers to an American margarine advert from the 80s with a talking tub of margarine. Said tub was voiced by Michael Bell, who was, among many, many other animated characters' voice, that of Zan from Superfriends.)

Some of the most memorable commercials of the '70s and '80s were for margarine.

One I remember was for Promise. It had a woman standing in a sunflower field singing "There is a land of Promise: a land of sun and showers! And in that land, that land of Promise, we grow our golden sunflowers!"

Not to mention:

"You call it corn. We call it maize."

"Everything's better with Blue Bonnet on it."

And how could we forget "It's not nice to fool MOTHER NATURE!!!!"?

When I was growing up in South America, there was a popular brand of margarine called Klar. I remember one commercial for it with a really hammy child actress talking to an animated dollop of margarine.

Shatner did ads for Promise at one point, I believe. It was even referenced in classic-SNL's ST:TOS 'finale' skit.

^That was a really good skit, especially when the network executive removes Spock's ears.
