So U think Vegan is healthy?

[Aractus]

My "Big Guy" is 24 years. As for his dad? Wel I met him when he was seriously looking at his forties, so the damage was already done. Along with road-training to NT he would find it difficult to stop at said "healthy alternatives" (you don't know much about how shit gets about this country of ours do you?) So roadhouses it is. I would make him a healthy lunch for work and he would give it away and go and get a whole roast chicken and chips! I tried but it depends on the individual.

I never said anything about you Kichi, I just commented on the fact that there are abundant healthy options for truckies - and you were certainly one of them in this case. I am sorry to hear your story, and I mean this with absolutely no ill-will, it is irrational to believe you can change someone.

I know one truckie quite well, he's well into his 60's and very fit, certainly not overweight. He regularly drives to Melbourne and back (granted not the longest trip, but that's what he does). As I mentioned before, if you go and eat a "big breakfast" without having an active lifestyle of course it's going to add to your weight, but any decent cafe will serve you what you want - if you ask for no sausages and a healthier side, then that's what they'll do.

This is where we get to the good stuff!

#1 Son is about a month away from getting an absolute dream kitchen and he has the $$$$ to fill it with all the good goobies to make his own good food.

Suffice to say that his fathers death has shaken him to the point of looking after himself.

Good to hear, my kitchen isn't great - well the oven isn't great and so I mostly use the stove-top (and microwave for reheating). However, and I say this with no ill will intended, even with an ordinary kitchen you can still cook whatever you want!

Just one random thought.... You know how the food industry is always striving to expand it's market into "niche" preferences? Have you even considered that "protein added" might be an attempt to snare the vegan market? At the expense of the omnivore market (a much larger demographic to be certain).

The protein foods I believe are mostly marketed towards gym-addicts, bodybuilders and athletes. I would agree that vegans might look to this as a source, however they are also wanting purely vegan-sourced protein and so the they'd be a niche within a niche. If I want more protein, I'll just eat some more eggs lol.

Have you seen the size of Korean people? Not to mention that the average penis size for South Koreans is 3.8" (link) which is at the bottom of the Asian demographic, and Asia as a whole has the smallest compared with the rest of the world!

Perhaps another good reason to avoid soy?

Most Asiatic people are this small.

Yes my comment was certainly intended as tongue in cheek; although I'm pleased to hear Zen doesn't dissatisfy you there!
