ttru, you "love to eat dolphin and whale meat"? Are you aware of the mercury levels in the former, and why there's a protective numbers game on the latter? Neither of these things matter one iota to you?

Betting's answer sums it up well. The question itself is quite assuming, or to be more blunt ridiculous!

DEFINETLY receiving the pickled umeboshi plums the day after announcing his resignation. That, his 80's shirt and wife's eating of???? what was it, stardust? no sunshine!, his wife claiming to eat sunshine, and know Tom Cruise in a previous life. This legacy should be written in stone somewhere!

O.k. I think Fadamor makes a good point. It is possible to frequent MAC and not be thrown out of kilter. But how many of us are 6 2 and 223 lbs after losing 12 pounds? And eating 8 pieces of McNuggets and a grilled Chicken Club sandwhich EVERYDAY for lunch is something I couldn't have fathomed even in my 20's. Why? I turned vegetarian in my teens. So again, I am not a MAC setter, and the thought of the food on that menu doesn't appeal to me. Different nuggets for different folks. How about framing the focus on the contents of the food, including what it is we don't see, like the preservatives, food colorings, oils etc. After that, maybe even Fadamor will change his tastes.....graduallly. Maybe not. And if he can stay healthy eating 8 McNuggets everyday for lunch, I hope his health continues, but beware And another thing, Coke, even diet Coke is not clearing the bar of health. But that'll be for another article.

How lucky we were! Playing outside and running around until the street lights came on. For the love of daylight savings time!!! The problem with fast foods is much like with cigarettes. Habitual. Eat it once or twice a month, no problem. Once or twice a week, some problem. More than that, getting close to a bigger problem. But as with cigarettes, does anyone know of people who smoke just 1 or 2 a week? Why not? The draw of addiction is a voice that becomes overwhelming, and we cave in to patterns. Establishing a better diet takes real hard work, and daily! But there are tremendous benefits, (cleaner blood, better blood pressure, less clogged arteries etc.) And what's important is to maintain the good diet over time. With R.M. popping up with the "I'm loving It" ads here in japan, I wonder what the xxx they're loving? Its not a laughing matter. But again, I worry about actually stating this type of opinion, knowing the "freedom fighters" are ready to bite the bit and tell me to shove it. Thanks to natural foods like brown rice, some fish, some meat, vegetables, fruits, and healthier forms of noodles than ramen, my family and I enjoy a health that is not taken for granted. And the meals reestablish our communion as a family, believe it or not.

As far as the knife proof vest business goes, just make sure it covers front AND back! What a ugly shameful act.

Yes. I never frequent places like this, but you have to have a heart for people these days. Take a walk down any street in Tokyo (other cities in the world), and you'll see a populace at their wits ends. No job, no income, nothing to do, and seemingly no way out. How much study can an adult do with no incentive for job improvement. Its a big crisis of our times, and I have a deep suspicion its only going to get worse. So a young lady like this has very limited options. My heart bleeds for her. At least she's still young and can "shake her money maker." as the song goes. Who's thinking of 10 years later. People are worried about next month.

hello? You come and cherry pick after 257 entries? We're talking about a matter of life and breath here, not religious persecution. As tkoind2 pointed out several times and eloquently, non-smokers have THE SAME RIGHTS in public as smokers. That means 50-50 or maybe even 60-40 etc., since the laws are finally coming down on our side. You can run but you cannot hide, and neither can your first, second, or third hand smoke. Get a life.

Hey genji-monogari-17, the 1st floor (where I normally practice) is where they allow the smoking and there are no partitions. The 2nd floor (where I don't choose to go because its elevated (obviously) and slightly different feeling for chipping etc. is where smoking is not allowed. Get it? So to say, "this post is ridiculous. You have the segragation, you have an entire floor...and you are complaining? misses the ENTIRE POINT. To state it again so even Gen-chan can understand. The first floor has heavily smoking area for slots 1-5, plus a machine that does no good situated in the corner where the smokers from 6-15 go to take a break, while slots 6-15 (where I normally practice) get the downwind plenty, especially on the day i made this entry when then boarded up ALL the windows/walls with rubber padding because it was cold (its an outdoor facility) and the whole first floor from stall 1 to stall 16 stank like a smokers bar.
