When my kids were little we fed them mashed up vegies and meat and they loved it. I mean all the vegatables that they don't like today.

Why don't they like vegies now? Because we didn't go gung ho and abstain from the odd sugary snack treat and they got their taste buds a little conditioned to those nasty brainwasin' chemicals or maybe that should be, nasty brainwashin' advertisments.

You may know that out of the top ten food items bought in supermarkets the No.1 is coke, then smokes make up the other 7 and bread and milk mixed later down the list.

Personally I find Coke a disgusting drink at the best of times and all meat that most westerners eat is generally not very nice by itself, you have to add sauces, seasoning, spices and salt and pepper before it's delicious. Hmmmmm deeliciousss as Homer would say.

What I find interesting, is that some people think that eating meat is cruel and that they'll live longer by staying away from it.

Aren't vegatables living things? And what about Vegans? Don't they eat anything unless it's fallen off the tree by itself? Too bad if you're starving and the tree's full with nothing on the ground yet!

If we all believed everything we read and heard about food and drink, you wouldn't eat or drink anything, it's funny when these studies come out and tell us that red wine or beef or cabbage is bad for us and then months or years later, they bring out a new report and say the opposite.

I had a discussion once with a VegHead at a BBQ of all places, about why they eat no meat. Apart from the fact they think it's cruel, the rest of the argument was based on living longer!

Yep, the VegHeads will out live the MeatHeads by at least 100 years, how laughable. My brother's girlfriend was a strict VegHead and got killed in a car accident.

Personally, I think that worrying about chemicals and sugar and what's in this and what's in that is a little paranoid. What about the air we breath or maybe the radiation from the machines we use. Where does one draw the line?

I suppose we're all different and that's what makes us unique if not interesting.

Me, I'll take a steak, oysters and prawns, side sauces, condiments and maybe even a big glass of coke with Rum in it and if the VegHeads out live me, then good for them.
