   Stereotypical obese, yet malnourished, American; processed ‘food-analogues’ and pesticides, yum!

   Wish his stomach craved kosher food, and we’d see Hebrew print.

   Happy Sukkot.

   Nobody dies young in Gasoline Alley.

   He could then fiddle for his heart bypass and gut reduction surgeries.

   That’s a clever stomach indeed. Sometimes mine talks too much too, but not in that many languages.

    I don’t know much about German cuisine, but the rest looks good to me.

    Slim is Slim, but not slim.

    You know, he can be a big man, enjoy his food, and still be healthy and enjoy life. We all know his tendency to over indulge, but that’s what makes him Slim. Just not slim. It doesnt mean he is a walking heart attack, waiting to strike. Sure, his chances of a heart attack might be higher than if he ate nothing but dry toast and drank only water. But that doesnt mean that it is an imminent and unaviodable threat. Give the guy a break and let him enjoy his life. He’s happy with who he is, that’s the important part.

    The German stuff is rather bland but if you are REALLY hungry…it is the best.

    Slim and Clovia could just go to a mall which has a very large food court and he could get an item from each of the 5 categories of food his stomach is talking about.

    History shows that eating a lot of German food with dark beer can make people politically aggressive and cause them to start hopeless military ventures about every 20 years or so.

    Isn’t there a holiday this time of year in honor of those two composers, Ross Hashanah and Yom Kipper? Kipper also invented kippered herring…smart dude.

    I always liked their music and I need a day off!

    Dypak are you talking about my husband? He will agree with everything you said. And, so do I. I may not be a svelte size 2, but I enjoy my life and my Dr says I’m healthy.

    Back in the summer of 1971, my father and I spent one night at a Ramada Inn in Monterrey, Mexico.

    When we ate dinner in the Inn’s restaurant, we ordered items with which we were familiar in Oklahoma.

    But, the food was very bland and not spicey at all and they were authentic Mexican food items.

    We asked for some salsa picante to liven things up.

    We were used to Tex-Mex style food served here in Oklahoma.

    Is the hamburger really German? If so, I *do* like German food. If not, has any German cuisine entered popular culture here? Does anyone say, “Hey, let’s go out and get some German food!”?

    Ha! Good solution to Slim’s indecisiveness.

    Jan, I’m speaking for all of us Cadillacs in the world of mini-Coopers. Just because I’m 6ft tall and pushing 280 doesnt make me unhealthy, lazy, sad and all those other unpleasant stereotypes. I see too many malnourished, spindly little fellahs out there to know that THAT is the not the healthy way to go.

    Go Slim!

    Heart attacks are hard to predict. Would you predict a 5’4”, 125 lb, 55 year old woman, with borderline high blood pressure and borderline cholesterol to have a heart attack? You’d think there’s nothing to worry about. Well it happens. Thank God I’m still here to see my grandkids grow up.

    Jim Fixx, winner of multiple Boston and other marathons, author of many books on fitness and health, died of a heart attack. You just don’t know. I’ll repeat some good advice; live well, love much, laugh often.
