No controversy since April 22? Is this possible?

 

What do you all think about the "Runaway Bride" story that has been gripping the greatest nation on the face of God's green earth?

 

I find it hard to believe that nonsense is news.

 

Geez,

I could only hope that I would get media coverage for leaving town to get a little strange. As it is, it's only news to me.

 

So....

What is up with eggs? When I was a kid, we ate two or three for breakfast, almost every day. Then I hear they are full of cholesterol, bad for you and you should just cut them out. Then they are on a bunch of diets that help you loose weight. Then they are good for you. Then someone else says they are still bad. Meanwhile, I'm walking around like a one man study group. First I eat the eggs, and I'm fine. Then I quit the eggs, and I'm fine. Then I start eating them agian and then I quit them again. I can't tell the difference. Can you?

 

I never gave them up. Does that put me at more risk, or less risk?

 

I like the issues you raised and will continue the rant. When I was growing up I had raw eggs - tons of 'em . I made shakes everynight for 3 years straight and put raw eggs in them (together with Weider's quick gain weight powder). I never got sick .

All the body builder mags and tv shows all condoned raw egg drinks.

We used to have soft boiled eggs and runny poached eggs rather often.

Wrestlers at my school used to drink raw eggs straight - 6 at a time.

These days it seems that if you have eggs that are slightly undercooked - you may die

WTF happened ?

 

I'm not sure if it's controversial, but its funny. Try this:

I thought about the egg thing for awhile, then gave up. There is just no winning when it comes to following diet guidelines. So I eat pretty much what I want when I want. Now they've got 12 food pyramids (I think) instead of one. Except the levels are vertical instead of horizontal.

 

Remember the Woody Allen futuristic movie where they were laughing about the days when people were told that chocolate and smoking were bad for you?
It's coming.....
