obesity also relates to exercise levels.
society (the corporate media!!!) seems to encourage more watching and less doing than a generation ago. -
@ richard
Aum sure gave yoga a bad name here, but i can report that we are in the midst of a huge yoga boom.
25 years ago, newspapers would have outnumbered bunko-bon, but i think the book reading has made a strong recovery lately. and magazines are overpriced and mostly crap too. although Recruit have done a big business in getting fee papers established here. -
oh no! a young woman in my office got that exact same haircut the other week. and that cat looks suspiciously like the one that tries to attack me most days...

@richard:
you wouldn't believe how few people read the paper on the train these days. a quick survey usually reveals 50%+ doing something with their phone (watching tv, videos, email, web surfing, e-book reading, mixi, etc.), 10% playing with their Nintendo DS, 10% reading a bunko-bon (small-format paperback), 20% doing something with their iPod, 5% reading the paper, 10% reading manga, 10% reading the ads on the train and 20% sleeping. Sleeping with iPod in seems quite common. i know, it adds up to 135%, but multiple answers allowed, ok? -
are you sure you're on the right thread?
i think Emma might have just the thread you're looking for... -
an important lesson there: if one is going to stare up from the gutter, one should be vain and well attired.

Oscar? did Oscar the Grouch wear a corset?

no, "Japanese food" (something vaguely resembling non-corrupted traditional cuisine) is probably about 40% of my diet now. i would try to keep eating Japanese food, even though sourcing good ingrdients at a reasonable price in nz is quite problematic.
but my intake of roat potatoes would definitely increase. yum.

Diet is often built up on hundreds/thousands of years of culture
so how would one explain the "American diet"?
(genetic mutation?)return to a lifetime of roast and potatoes
if only i could! (well, maybe brown rice and roast potatoes on alternate days)
