Well ... you can drag that last bit out quite a bit by not eating 5000 cals of sugar/equivs every day :-) Let's see ... today ... egg sandwich without the bread, turkey sub contents (sans bread), ONE peanut-butter cup (GOTTA have a LITTLE fix), HALF the contents of small "American Sub" - bird/salami/ham, a small quantity of nuts and a couple drinks to kill the pain ... and that's it. Mostly skip the salami stuff but the stores don't always have what I want - more turkey. Prob most all vitamins from the egg. This has been it for almost 10 years now. Sugar levels "holding" around 90. ONCE a week either a 4-piece KFC, stripped of greasy skin, or two beef hot-dogs. Even a trace of those 11 herbs & spices are STILL tasty. Tonight, one can of albacore tuna (spend a tiny bit xtra on the higher-quality stuff). But a Horrible Truth. Early this year a small town in the US heartland (Tennessee/W.VA ?) was in the news because a landslide had largely cut off the roads. The News went to the city council meeting where many of the residents were complaining about the lack of supplies. ALMOST TO THE PERSON they were SO fat that you could have literally rolled them down a hill - not kidding - I mean REALLY fat - like 9999 cal/day of junk carbs & beer fat. Men, women, the kids - all of them. They were in a panic at the thought of cutting back to just maybe 7000 cals for a week or two ....... Even in my high-cal youth it was NOT like this and we DID suck down a LOT of "junk" - ALWAYS huge bags of chips and chocolate cookies and cheeze puffs and greasy salted bits. NOT sure what the hell has happened. You'd almost think some secret bio-warfare ingredient was introduced like 25 years ago ...... Maybe RFK can sort it out. Not so hopeful though ... Ah, "Buffy" is over ... time to go to bed. Clearly I'm bio-fixed on a "night shift" cycle. Screw the fuckin' self-superior dawn-2-dusk farmers, too 1700s :-)
