  3. Welcome back, Baz. That was your name and avatar when I first started here.
    I’m hitting the multi-culti festival today. I’ll be the one wearing a “Help For Heroes” turtleneck – made of Kevlar.

    Salaami ‘n Baakun.

  4. Ivan, enjoy the multi-culti fest, it’s a great day out, just for the food. I heard that the Religion of Peace were having a pig roast with all the fixins’

    I resumed my initial incarnation to piss blip blip off.

  5. So do I, Baz. It’s hard to saw off someone’s head when he’s eating your kebabs and coming back for more. I’m just waiting for the day that the organizers are made to feel obligated to suggest to participants that they refrain from serving the wonderful products of that magical cloven hooved mammal that does not chew his cud – because some are frightened by it.

  6. agreed 100% op but i will say this as a codicil..

    Kids are not taught how to eat. Their parents weren’t either. So they eat out of packages and cans that say “healthy” or “natural” and can’t figure out why they keep getting fat. Kids are also not taught what “hungry” feels like.

    Think of it like having to pee. You don’t pee until you experience minor discomfort. That’s your brain and body telling you “Dude, reservoir’s full, empty it now please” and you do. And you don’t think about peeing again until you have to.

    I can’t tell you how many times people describe hungry as being ‘not full’ – that’s fucked up.

    It’s still no excuse. Turn the package or can or bag over to see for yourself it’s fucking unhealthy to eat this way. Learn how to identify hunger and learn to eat this way. It’s just.. probably a big part of the reason.

  7. Over eating is one half of the equation, the other half is the lack of exercise. Most weight loss gurus, who aren’t selling a DVD or a book on weight loss, will tell you that sensible eating and exercise are required to jettison the pork.

    Speaking of pork – BACON, BACON AND MORE BACON.

  10. My favorite anecdote from many years ago. I had just scarfed down one of those delicious Portuguese sardines,nothing left but head and tail and a little boy sharing the table with his Dad asked me if he could eat the eyes. I didn’t miss a beat, said “Absolutely” and gave him the carcass. His Dad just shook his head sadly and explained “We lived in Inuvik for three years and he likes to show off”
    Made my day. >: )

  15. I don’t obesity as a disease more a symptom of something larger such as chronic depression. People like to try and fill a void in their life by consuming happy stuff. If their void is huge, guess what, you have obesity, drug addiction, alcoholism.. all part of the same psychological framework.

  17. Reg That’s the reasoning behind Over Eaters Anonymous.That food is considered to be an addictive substance not unlike Smack or booze.

  18. “Reg That’s the “reasoning” behind OverEaters Anonymous.”

    “Theory” would have been a better word for me to use.

  19. Ivan, how was the multi-culti?

    Blip blip, if I want to take the piss out of you I will, if you don’t like it, too bad, so sad.

    It’s Sunday morning, the birds are singing, the coffee is hot and strong and I’m heading to the deck with 2 Brothers meats smoked bacon sarnies, life is good.

  20. Y’know Baz – It’s been about 8 years since I’ve been. It seems there are less food stands and the locale is disappointing. It was much more enjoyable on the Dartmouth waterfront.
    But I left with a full belly and nobody tried to make me part of their own personal jihad (all the more remarkable because I was wearing an I.D.F. Master Paratrooper T-shirt) so I can’t complain.

  21. My friend and I went a couple of years ago, when it was up near Pier 21, which is where the REAL immigrants entered Canada, you know, the Europeans who wanted a better life, and not some new waver who thinks we should change to their way of life or it’s lampshade time.
    It was interesting, the food was great, the dancing and costumes colourful, but too many people for such a confined area.
