Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I eat eggs a couple of times a week and think they're a healthy addition. The Okinawans are not big on eggs, but do eat them in moderation. on 4/8/2004 7:32 AM, Dowling at dowlic@... wrote: > % of total dietary intake, probably- not just from one food choice item. > Eggs, presumably, should be a small part of one's diet as a whole.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I make egg white - veggie omelets, and start with 1 tbls of soy oil for my efa's, to sauté the onions, gpepper. Soy oil is 9.8% 16:0, 5% 18:0, 42.5 % 18:1 (mono), 34.9% 18:2 (n-6 efa), 2.6 % 18:3 (n-3 efa). Better than egg yolk, IMO.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 The only thing is, no one I know would care. I live in "fat" county (Polk). I call it Pork county. There was no shopping here til walmart put in double doors.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 You have to live in this county to appreciate it. There is a larger variation in heavies here than anywhere I've been. A thin person - that would be a good looking female any age that has a waistline - is a visitor. I once overheard a lady ragging on the manager because she got dirt on her dress from the bathroom door. The doors are at least 3 ft wide. The smaller grocery store which has the advantage of less steps from the parking lot, had a narrow door and they've now enlarged it to get more customers. Door size is not a small issue. I've seen people so large, that we actually don't get near them because they might have a disease. I wonder what they rode in on. Some would have to be in the back of a pickup. I saw one guy with the thigh fat hanging down over his knees and he was still ~450#. He was leaning on the meat rack. Just imagine the facilities required. A toilet that holds 400#? Space around the toilet? We visited the Chinese buffet last Sunday and it was like a hog fest. I told the manager to install a rack like the cafeterias have to slide the plate on and that way it would keep the heavies at a distance - I'm not joking. The farther they have to reach the less they can eat. We need to design to make the heavies, and I'm talking >300# women 350# men, more uncomfortable than the already are. Think narrow, longer aisles, farther parking lots.
