Lbs = KG x 2 (not completely excact, but close enough)

What's that in pounds?

I don't think American pounds are the same as ours, so I wouldn't know

So true. I am astonished when in German supermarkets, to find the disproportion between the "pig meat" displays and the "other meats" display. However, the Germans progress as they seem to be less pig-exclusive than before.

Argumentative Frenchie Eurocom eats too much cheese and pastries.

Erm, I wasn't aware of such a thing from my perspective. Do you have a link please ?

You weren't aware that French food is perceived as having a lot of cheese and pastries, or you don't think it's possible to eat 'too much' of them?

More like "lbs = kg * (2 + 1/5)", or "lbs = kg * 2,2".

I still weigh close to a 110 Lbs or 55Kg

...so 55 kg should be 110 + 11 ~ 120 lbs.

...or something like that.

fast foods have taken over the place it's so true.
Goodys, everest, grigoris, pita pan, loxandra etc etc

Thing is the old tavernas still exist and still make excellent food, you just have to arrange your time in a way that you can go to them.

But we do tend to become fat bastards after around 35 years old with an amazing uniformity...

And you smoke a lot, too.

[Bereta_Eder]

That we do too.

But we also live longer than any other european. (or are amongst the first 3 places) DONG!!!

of course dying from lung cancer doesn't add to that goal

We're in the top ten, in the world. I don't remember, where exactly.

If you say what I think you are saying: don't, mixed colors look better

Okay, one more smoke before going to the pub. Time for my Saturday ration of alcohol. I'll grab some junk food on the way there so I have something in my stomach before the drinking begins (so don't say I mess with my health...)

[Bereta_Eder]

I think the Spanish and others have overtaken us these last years in longlevity.
We also expect a cancer epidemic in the next generation.

And my naive question is: why now? There were always people who smoked why is the cancer epidemic coming now?

I'm all for anti smoking propaganda (although I prefer facts) but do try and make it conveincing

I want blond chicks!

Perhaps for the same reason it happened elsewhere: you've now reached a point where all the diseases that would have done you in before cancer took root are now gone.
