| 1110012 | 2010-06-14 06:42:00 | You may need to borrow Terrys rose coloured glasses. Not rose coloured specs, no antibiotics when both Cic and I were kids, or any of the other hundred and one medical treatments that keep people alive nowadays. Many more vaccines these days too, friend of mine died of polio at school before the vaccine was around, diptheria was mostly fatal, measles was serious too, so the list goes on to explain why longevity has increased despite obesity. Then there is the Gaia effect, the earth may well decide enough is enough and start reducing the population :D Edit: another thing, simple infections from small wounds or surgery could lead to drastic results...no antibiotics. Cic will remember how hot bread poultices were used extensively on infected cuts etc. Who has heard of a hot bread poultice these days :) |

| 1110013 | 2010-06-14 06:52:00 | It's people like these who force me to pay for my medical care twice - first through taxes, and second through private medical insurance - so that I can actually get treatment if (I require it) in a timely manner rather than be stuck in a waiting list behind people who are in a more "high risk" group as a result of their own poor choices. | somebody (208) | ||

| 1110016 | 2010-06-14 07:04:00 | Not rose coloured specs, There were very few fat people around, let alone morbidly obese during the war in the UK. Wartime rations kept weight in check, yet people on the whole were healthier then, than they had ever been. Just look at wartime photos, neither were there any fat kids at school. Come on, that is the most chronic case of rose coloured glasses ever, You even put the damn war in a positive light. |

You are too young to know, you were not there :D But don't take my word for it, do a bit of reading, here's what Jamie Oliver said: "Because of this incredibly valuable service, people knew how to use their food rations properly and were able to eat - and live - better, even during the war! As a result the British public had one of the healthiest diets of any time in history." timewitnesses.org www.dailymail.co.uk "A study comparing the weight and growth of pupils fed on a 1940s diet with those on a contemporary menu rich in junk food underlines the growing concern over obesity levels in Britain's youngsters. The current generation of eight-year-olds consumes on average 1,200 calories a day more than their counterparts 60 years ago. " www.guardian.co.uk |

As Dad used to say, if this doesn't work, you may have to eat it. Powerful powers of suggestion there. |

But yeah, I'll take your word for it, apart from all the death and dying, the disease, the war, the sickness and the misery,the miserable life expectancy, You were all in great health.:stare: I'll take a cheeseburger over that any day, even if I do live until I'm 90..... |
