Giving up so easily?
Really, I can't wait to hear what you "reckon". Knowledge based on personal experience is always so useful and unbiased.

Whereas regurgitating an opinion formed by someone else
in a book or an article which of course has not conceivably got a an agenda behind it, is absolutely the right way about it.

I think we should all just admit that unless we're experts in a particular field, then all our opinions are pretty shit

I was starting a joke thread considering our past spats but then gave up due to lack of energy.

You should eat better.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 9:44, Reply)

I eat very well.

I'm glad you agree but I'm too tired to debate further.

( girlinthehole, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 9:36, Reply)

If that is so to such a large extent
then surely the majority of urban dwellers born during and immediately after WWII woudl be thick, which is demonstrably not the case.

My mother (first at university and one of the most well-read and intelligent people I've ever met) was brought up on powdered eggs etc.

There are always exceptions to every rule.
Just think what she could have achieved had she been fed properly.

She's a lesbo though,
obviously brain wrong.

She's making up for the years
when due to post-war austerity measures she wasn't able to eat rugs, clearly.

I read somewhere
that in fact general standards of nutrition improved during and after the war.

If you heard what my (slightly mental) grandmother fed my father
you would be surprised to discover he was not a gibbering simpleton.
