Ha! Coldjam, it must be the blue font - I read it as 'cod'jam as well; just assumed you were a Maritimer like myself, or a Newfoundlander.

I'm not so sure as many of our health problems are self-caused as we are led to believe. There's a certain joy governments and health pundits seem to take in accusing us of sinning against our bodies, while ignoring the stew of chemicals, hormones, bad water, bad air, and nutrient poor vegetation they thrust in our direction. I know my grandparents/uncles/aunts ate far more and far fattier than I or my friends do, and although they worked hard, I've worked as physically hard myself. A few of them were fat, most were thin: why? Many of them smoked or chewed tobacco, none had lung cancer, except the ones who worked in coal mines; why?
