Since this is getting dangerously PWEC anyway, I feel I need to throw in my two cents because I'm in one of those moods.

IMO, and I've read much in support of this, but no I cannot cite any sources, "world hunger" has very little to do with the global supply of food, but rather much more to do with a lack of global security, underdeveloped and mismanaged production and transportation infrastructure, chronic racism, ethnocentrism, despotic regimes enforcing poverty and ignorance to maintain power, and in short: a relatively small number of powerful but evil and/or thoughtless people.

There's plenty of blame to go around to everyone, but more directly on topic, I believe this lady must have some sort of medical condition that she should probably get checked out. wink

She has a very high metabolism, obviously.

What I find more puzzling is that if world hunger is such a problem, why is the population continuing to grow so fast? Shouldn't the population at a minimum have slowed its growth?

Instead, the US has a largely stable population aside from immigration, so obviously food does not equal population growth and lack of food seems to!

Unfortunately, the areas in the world with the highest levels of hunger also have the highest birth rates. On face value it seems like a contradiction but it's not once you investigate the root causes.

My diet consists mostly of fish, egg, low fat milk, cheese, fruits, nuts and vegetables. I no longer eat chicken, beef or pork.

To gorge oneself on meat for the sake of a contest/some prize/record is to dishonor the body

Regardless of your viewpoint, it's still something that should be left up to individual choice.

Whatever you guys say. This thread has gone to comical and bizarre levels.

Gone? More like comical from the get go.

I'm sure Haggart would approve of milk since it does the body good...
