Finally a study that makes sense.
Finally a study that makes sense. :wink: Brains of the elderly slow because they know so much......

I'm very irritated by you "Friend" collectors
I am genuinely pleased when someone asks to be my friend. I take this as a compliment. Why do you ask to be my friend when you don't speak to me, you don't email me and you do not encourage me.

Negative Calories choices
I was “Googling” as you do looking for fat burning foods when by chance I came across a web page. This is a segment from the page but it certainly got my attention. “Simply put, negative calorie foods cause us to burn more calories through digestion than the food actually contained in the first place. It sounds a little…

What scary sounding food do you eat or avoid?
Last night I cooked "pangasius hypophthalmus" :noway: The scary sounding name is very off putting, I tested it out on my husband before trying a small portion with home made parsley sauce. (My husband is a great food taster ha ha and never comes to any serious harm) We recently started eating "Basa" which I believe is the…

This site is great for calorie counting! I think I'm obsesse
Wow, 506 Calories for a Costco Hotdog! I'm so glad I checked before popping over to the warehouse in my lunch break. Sadly I will have to watch my colleague wolf one down.

Is it just me or does everyone go through a phase of fantasizing about food? It's been cream cakes, cream doughnuts to be exact. I haven't eaten one for years.
