"In short, inflexible, fat, hypertensive people can be vegetarians as likely as not." Though of all the vegetarians I've known (a dozen or so), none were any of those. If they followed US norms slightly over 6 of them would have been overweight, and 3 of those obese. Make of that what you will.

Yeah, well there's this veggie down the block from me and he's always crammin' carrots and romaine lettuce into his maw, and he's bigger'n a house- he told me he spends $500 a week on tofu alone, and his cholesterol is through the ceiling!!!

I think you’re fibbing about something. I don’t know what, but I do know that you are not healthy if you live on cheese pizza and M&Ms, unless you’re a pod-person, or something. My guess is that you’re one of these eastern cuisine types who eat lots of rice and vegetables.

Most vegetarians are healthier then the average, because they eat a healthy selection of fruits and vegetables with smaller selections of fish and eggs, not because they don’t eat meat. They could include moderate meat portions in their diet and be just as healthy. The typical vegetarian propaganda is that not eating meat makes Heresy’s Bars healthy, but a “vegetarian” who eats nothing but candy will not be healthy.

Okay, to be serious, I drink lots of water, take STUPID vitamins, stretch ALL the time (no catchin' ME in a dark alley unable to kick someone's throat), and do isometrics at work where I can't lift weights (get some funny looks from peeps, but they're usually the fat ones). My diet is mainly pizza and pasta, eggs and tuna fish, and one small bag of peanut M&M's daily. And lettuce. And the ocassional apple or carrot.
I plead guilty to being fiber-challenged.
All but two of my friends who made fun of me in our teens for not eating meat could make it over a chain link barbwire fence like I can today (admittedly though, they do eat of the cow).

Hmmm, that’s so not kungfu.

Yep, Italy has China on food.

I only do Tai Chi, no fighting. But lately I’ve given it up for my new love: the Tango and the Cha Cha. They’re from Spain.

But I did learn Tai Chi from an real Chinese Kungfu Master. Believe or not. If that's any consolation.

You mentioned that when I first joined here, a 'who here does martial arts' thread I started, I believe.
Very cool.

When it gets cold, do Tai Chi on ice, that's fun.
