    Maybe it's just the sat fat from beef of cattle fed on corn and other products that aren't cattle's natural food source.

    It skews the omega profile of the meat. Grass fed beef is good for you.

    Approx 1/3 of a regular diet should be fat. Which should be broken down roughly evenly between sat/mono/poly.

    None of those evil processed fats though.

    First they came for the socialists...

    German soccer team wear green as a thank you to Ireland for being the first country to play them after WW2.

    This was even printed by the Irish Times in the last week.

    Green was actually the colour associated with Saxony and was choosen for the "away" jerseys. The colours of Prussia, black and white, were used for the "home" jerseys.

    Ireland's population is the same as Greater Manchester (or is less than GM)

    Ireland has more local authorities and councillors per head than other countries.

    Switzerland, Norway and Iceland trade freely with the EU without having to follow Brussels rules and regulations.

    Agriculture is an important part of the Irish economy.

    In the slavery era in the US, a Black person was considered equal to three fifths of a White person.

    Apparently, after both World Wars their first matches were against Switzerland.

    Or that animals can eat raw meat as they are immune to the bacteria (like e-coli) that are harmful to humans.

    No, its true, your head is where the blood circulates the fastest, as well as being at the top of the body, so thats where heat leaks out the most.

    There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
    We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
    But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know.
