Running

Funny thing is when they get a bit older and/or have a health scare their diets improve.

Ok let me put it another way, are there more McDonald's, kfc's, burger kings or running tracks I your area or nearest city. More people get pleasure out of fast food than they do out of running, if you don't think that's true then there is no hope for you.

I guess if you side-track from what you said enough then I will agree with you, but that doesn't mean you were right on the original point.

Also, there is one McD and one KFC in a 3 mile radius of my town. And at least a dozen running tracks.

But only one tennis club so clearly tennis is less fun than running. Except that if you go down by the river in the morning you'll see a constant stream of people running every single day.

They are running so they can eat their weekly KFC/McDs or more likely with the people I know so they can enjoy a drink or three.

Someone I worked with from abroad couldn't understand why the English do so much exercise and then get pissed.

Most people who eat a lot of junk food don't run... the ones who need the exercise most are not the ones doing it

You haven't seen what the people I know eat. Though they don't eat like that 7 days a week.

Obsessed, is what the lazy call the dedicated

Lazy is what the obsessed called normal people

for me it was the purchase of a pair of 38" waist trousers. The thought of being in the same shop 12 months later buying a 40" pair was too galling to contemplate.
Plus the contractor sat next to me at the time was in his late 50's and a bit of a pie eater. He was the definition of an anti-goal

Hang on what is the discussion point? Is it that junk food is bad or that more people eat junk food than run or something else?

Anyway you should see the stuff they provide at feeding stations on ultra marathons, flattened coke so you can down a litre in quick time, biscuits, chocolate, cheese burgers.

I don't believe in the term junk food anyway and I don't think that food is either good or bad, that certain types of food should be left out of the diet, I think these terms are damaging. If someone was to eat all bran and soy milk all day they would be equally as fooked as someone who eats burgers all day but soy milk and all bran are seen as healthy. Really people are too thick to understand diet and nutrition.

I see it as food that has been processed like most of the food in a supermarket, milk for example is heated during pasteurisation but that also removes a lot of the stuff our body needs.
