My thought for the week.

If all CEO's took a 50% pay cut would there be anyone out of work?

I struggle to understand the path that has been taken. It would appear there's no end in sight for the greed.

That's a trick question isn't it? And one where there is no right answer?

How do you know if any particular moment is a life defining moment?

Something that makes you smile without reason could be one of those moments?

Though studies have over a number of years failed to show a link between dairy fat and heart disese.Here is an early report-
Low-fat dairy: do you really need to switch? - Health & Wellbeing

And no evidence that high fat dairy foods associated with obesity-though obviously in moderation-
The relationship between high-fat dairy consumption and obesity, cardiovascular, and metabolic disease. - PubMed - NCBI
High dairy fat intake related to less central obesity: A male cohort study with 12 years’ follow-up

That's once in a blue moon.

Don't drink tea/coffee, hardly any sweets, have been on fruit and vegetables for the past 4 weeks, alcohol intake reduced. Same weight I was 4 weeks ago.

I reckon I could stop eating and still put on weight. :shock:
