Thanks to Captain Ranty's Friday Funnies for reminding me about Lard; clearly the reason for my youthful looks...ahem...you know it makes sense. And a few years ago we came to know that it is certainly healthier than it had been made out to be and that our ancestors were onto a good thing. Lard has a high content of  mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs; these help reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL, the "bad") and may even raise HDL (the "good") avoiding the "ugly" (LOL). Wiki has a good list of natural sources of MUFAs (click at right on that page to show list).

I'll have the Kid's Breakfast please...why is it called the kid's breakfast? It weighs the same as a large new born child! Yor 'aving a larf! Click HERE for BBC article and video and click on image to enlarge (if you dare).



Jester's diner in Great Yarmouth serves it and it a includes an 8 eggs, cheese and potato omelette, 12 rashers of bacon, 12 sausages, potatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, black pudding, beans and 12 slices of bread/toast. Wonderful, you don't even have to pay for it; there is one condition...

"The best thing that coffin dodgers can do for their health and to help animals is to go vegan" said Yvonne Taylor of PETA. Apparently their brand-new billboard (image left) was revealed in Gloucester today to coincide with the official opening of a new mortuary to accommodate the bodies of people who weigh up to 50 stone...don't they all or are there specific fatty facilities? The Beeb report that Gloucestershire County Council said its mortuary was one of many in the country that could take bodies of this size.



P.S. Do vegans not eat pastry? (Update 10 minutes later: Mighty O leads me to guess they do!)
