Of course, in general I believe the Greeks are eating more sensibly than the rest of the world? But Like ii was presented many a times by some participants, it is not isolated from being poor alone.
our body mechanics in terms of our individual metabolism, how we eat, foods that we eat, lack control and discipline. etc. etc.
Well Rizal, the truth of the matter is, I value your opinion as well as others, in opposition or agreement. The truth of the matter is, this is the only way that we can brainstorm for some possibilities. Let us hear what others have to say so that we can come up with a good direction.
I challenge you to bring it on.
I will ban anyone that will not stick with the substance of the discussion.
I am devastated at hearing such an unexpected report but back 35 years ago, I didn't see such a future that was worsening as the rest of the world is moving forward.
But yes the corruption of the government is worse than I've ever seen Rizal and thanks for your sympathy.
Dragos just curious, what has being a millionaire got to do with it? Lol...can we be less concerned then? Just thinking because if that is the case, I meant the figures presented by Lanna, that let's say millionaire has less likely to be obese, then of course the more we dive into economic low, then the higher our obesity rate?
Wow Dragos thanks for the share. I'm surprised that's what happened. Majority of the Filipino ladies would have jumped on the offer.
Maybe you should have asked another one. Gated community only denotes wealth over there. So that's giving me a clue.
You can definitely try again, can't you?
Just be careful, though, reasons why my birth country is banned for membership is for the scammers rate, according to the mods.
Anyways I am retiring in Baguio. I was a university professor there before I migrated here and our dollars go a long way. My house is up north but ideally I will be in Baguio. Google it if you haven't been there, it's Shangri la in the PI.
Google also Banawe Rice Terraces, you'll be surprised.
Weather is between 48 to 80..degrees, a most beautiful place.
I wouldn't quite question that Sandra, I am sure it's not excessive. They are given allowance and yes, maybe she should shop at Costco. I saw a Calvin Klein pants that I used to pay $300 bucks at Macy's 20 years ago is only $27 dollars now. Same quality, made in Cambodia, but fit was within my taste.
That's very noble of you All. I have planned on working for the red cross had my plan for retirement was carried out just for the fulfillment of my dreams, which is to help the less fortunate ones, but, for right now I am working so hard to make it happen.
I can't agree on that based on my immediate knowledge. In my birth village in the north, Laoag City, as well as my favorite place of Baguio City, there's hardly any overweight. Combination of reasons, we usually eat fresh and healthy foods. Hardly packaged. Second: we work hard, physical labor, third, we sweat a lot due to the inclement weather.
Now you be the judge, b if you truly lived there, you can tell by random and scientific observation that it's simply not true.
Even Filipinos here in my state, California, Daly City, a suburb of San Francisco, you'll see, we're not fat, that report of a Chinese doctor can be disputed.
Well, well, we'll my friend All how are you? So nice of you to be disencumbered, a most non judgmental you are? Or is it because you don't get horrified by the predicted results?
We're going to bankrupt the economic future of the nation in health maintenance alone if it's not checked. Now that I care.
Nidi, is our good old California? Will be flying back next week. Been away for so long and will be so glad to be back.
Anyways, our society is so conditioned on the submissive almost godlike treatment to man in general. I believe that it is more of a question for women to step up to the challenge than for a man to be blocking us on our aspirations.
I can see that while we do shout to have equal rights, words are just that, words. But when it comes to the actual substance of the force of wanting to be there, women are more slacking in the drive to move on.
I didn't mean to be rude Sandra. I just felt that you are a fresh new bloom here and you do bring light to a rather dark world, at least that is how I feel.
I have been here for so long but just attempted to be on the forum and it offers a wide variety of many topics. Just few however attracts my interest.
a woman leader
Now that is the spirit my friend.Man is not in anyway different about gossiping anyways.
