Food for thought

What do people think about this promotional wheeze from something called Safefood, strikes me that as someone who has never been near being overweight I'm being discriminated against. Any chance of a "feed up a thinnie" competition in association with my nearest takeaway?

Sorry, thought I'd included the link [COMPETITION] Are you overweight? Check the facts and you could win €100

I think the thread in Health and Fitness is turning it one of the more entertaining reads of the last while.

Their point blank refusal to accept any of what is said and insistence on issuing dis proven advice is as funny as it is worrying

Yes, the "fat? eat more bread!!" advice is both funny and worrying

Started a nutrition degree in 2008. The lectureres are all still of the low fat dieting school of thought, and rigidly so. Seems nutrition is a real "don't rock the boat" industry.

Supplements seem unnecessarily frowned upon too, one lecturer said to me "athletes would be better off with a well balanced diet than using protein powder" I'm pretty piss poor at public speaking so didn't respond properly. Should have reminded her athletes take protein powder in addition to their diet (whether balanced or not) to get extra protein and calories, so her point displayed a great amount of ignorance.

So given the academic position its understandable for safefood. They only exist because Sinn Fein wanted cross-border bodies to make it look like they achieved something from the good friday agreement (I often wonder what Bobby Sands would make of his efforts leading to the creation of "safefood")

Seriously? No wonder the economy is in the dog house.

Anyway I see a hamper of goodies is up for grabs in association with Electric
Picnic Ireland so maybe I'll get my feed after all!
