    was that banana man by any chance

    I worked with an american guy on and off in the past.. He would come over as an equipment specialest for training and to give a general dig out..

    I enquired one day about his title as bananna man and comented I never saw him eating a bananna even once..

    Turns out he had friends over to watch a ball game one evening, space was limites so they decided to move the couch back so everyone could circle round and drink beer and watch..

    Three mates lifted the couch to find a bananna with a condom on it tucked away under it.. His wife walked in from the kitchen and dropped the tray of food she was carrying !! He said there was a bit of an awquard silance before the lads christened him "bananna man" and the festivities continued, his wife didn't make an appearance for the rest of the evening :rolleyes:

    Peter Siddle, an Australian cricketer eats an insane amount of bananas every day. I think he's a vegan or something, doesn't do him any harm.

    If your diet is that dialed in that you're worried about your fruit intake, fair play to you, you're probably a professional athlete. It's like the newbie at the gym that obsesses over what supplements he should be taking with no regard for the rest of his diet.

    Ok so you take some fruit and dry it. You've added nothing, only removed the water. You definitely haven't added any additional sugar.

    Picked up a pack of figs and dates from lidl yesterday. They are delicious and really appeal to my sweet tooth.

    Can I eat as much as I want? Or am I loading myself full of sugar?!?! Let the debate commence! ! :D

    I'd recommend you eat the whole packet of figs in in one go.

    That'll keep you too busy to be stirring up things ;)

    I would think like, any other fruit, there is a portion size that applies. I'm not so sure 4 stone of dates or grapes or pineapple or any fruit would be a good idea.
    As part of a balanced diet they'd be great.
    So horse into them.

    Yep.
    With recent extensions onto schools green areas and playgrounds have been eaten up. We had to fundraiser to buy additional ground at the school to compensate. And guess who was selling the land around the school - the builder doing the extension !!

    I think the new blue flag initiative in schools will help. Schools are awarded the flag base on the activity level of the children in the school. Similar to the green flag for recycling.

    My wife's niece was doing the leaving about 12 years ago and took to drinking lucozade to give her energy while studying, she got fat on it. She was never overweight and always watched her diet. Obviously when she noticed the weight piling on she stopped drinking lucozade and lost the weight again.
