Qatar: used slaves to do all the work, Muslim extremist to the core, no culture to speak of.
Pakistan: diverse, not as Muslim extremist as people think, interesting culture.
The food industry's propaganda is that you need to drink 2 litres of water a day. You don't.
In 1974 the book Nutrition for Good Health, co-authored by nutritionists Margaret McWilliams and Frederick Stare, recommended that the average adult consumes between six to eight glasses of water a day. But, the authors wrote, this can include fruit and veg, caffeinated and soft drinks, even beer.
It's because you don't drink as much as other people. People who chug a ton of of water or whatever after they've eaten something spicy are giving themselves diarrhea.
My brother is obese and also one of the fittest people I know. He can walk miles without breaking a sweat, no high blood pressure, no high cholesterol, heart is doing fine, no arthritis, etc. ad nauseum. He's fat because he eats a lot, but everything he eats is home cooked with plenty of veg and little meat. He just loves cooking.
My doc said the other day she prefers it when her patients are heavier, because when people get very sick, it's the "healthy" thin ones who die first in the ICU purely because they don't have any fat to spare.
