    Bit like metric, go to your local hardware, you can still buy imperial bolts and nuts.
    Calorie is nice...it has a nasty ring to it once you get to a certain BMI though.

    A nice simple unit, the energy to heat 1 gram of water, one degree celsius.

    I'm very suspicious of dietary advice which on the surface sounds plausible but in reality can cause great upsets in lifestyle but health.

    The paleo diet, the latest fad, by an anti-vaccine chef venturing outside his expertise into medicine.

    Then there's one of the first ones, the old Israeli army diet. Kiss your weight problem goodbye --and your health too.

    Like everything else, it's about moderation and food diversity.

    Calories do count (Believe me, I count them every damn day). And eating tons of meat exclusively will stack on tons of calories.

    Having said that, I love the occasional barbecued T-bone and 100% pure, nothing but pork sausages barbecued.

    And why do they taste so good?

    They were born to be delicious. Pork crackling, apple sauce and roast vegetables.

    I rest my case.

    True but at the time veganism was a bit of a new thing and thee weren't as many choices as now.

    On a serious note, I am happy to let anyone pursue their own diet choices but for some, veganism entitles them to a form of activism or at least dogma: "I've chosen not to consume any animal products, why haven't you?"

    True vegans don’t wear leather as it’s an all encompassing lifestyle rather than just a diet. Not sure what the muppet you lived with was in about. The righteous ones (of any type) drive me mad too.
