You are off topic again to attempt to prove your vegan point. You made the jump to food and James Gandolfini. All I did was respond to your non-sequitur.

Just wondering why you became scientific minded all of a sudden. That's not off topic; I never promised anything other than anecdotal examples.

Maybe we could make a game out of this. Someone can pick a topic like pyramids or safety pins or Mary Tyler Moore and the rest of us can guess how many posts it will take before it gets turned into an unhealthy eating habit thread.

No, not everyone, just the majority of the U.S. population. Remember, 65% are overweight or obese. Do a search of nationwide sales figures for fast food.



I have never discredited your diet because I have no idea what you eat. I simply say I'm suspicious of people who claim to eat everything in moderation because that seems to include all forms of junk-food.




What I don't do is brag about laughing and having a circle of friends and assume that everyone who lives a healthy lifestyle is an idiot and continually suggest that people should have more fun instead of worrying about their health.

BUT you aren't talking to the majority of the U.S. population when you're talking on TOTV. Remember, you're talking to some pretty savvy retired people who were smart enough to invest in The Villages. And are probably smart enough to make appropriate food choices for the life style they choose to live.

And I'm suspicious of someone who claims to be a Vegan and then starts a thread about eating a Reuben at Arbys.
