Aussie blokes are fat, sad and in denial: survey
Bronwyn Herbert reported this story on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 12:30:00

The latest global survey has found that half the Australians who are overweight don't realise it, and it's more likely to be men who are in denial.

The findings are part of an international study taking in 13,000 people from 12 countries, as Bronwyn Herbert reports.

BRONWYN HERBERT: Statistics often deliver the same story of Australia as an overweight nation.

But a new survey comparing results from 12 countries finds that on average Australians won't admit to being fat.

Brekkie today, choc chip and walnut cookies, glass of milk...............
I digress.

 

[mikewint]

Well I certainly hope that those cookies were sprinkled with bacon, and perhaps an apple donut with maple frosting sprinkled with bacon, or better yet a butter cake with maple frosting with a pound of bacon on top...

[Readie]

Does every meal in America include a donut?

A proper 'full English breakfast', fills you (and the arteries) up and is the food of the gods ( well, us anyway)

What is a Full English Breakfast?

Pop over the pond and enjoy

Cheers

Actually those are not donuts (no hole) they are really Long Johns made from a yeast dough much lighter than a cake-type donut
And one trip to the Motherland and boiled, grass-fed beef was enough

Down South, we eat bacon fried in a cast iron pan, eggs fried in the bacon grease and toast and grits. A Canadian buddy corrected me that such a breakfast is entirely too healthy. While he dropped the grits, he said his family would consistently eat fried bacon, eggs fried in bacon grease and toast fried in bacon grease. That trumps me. I can't eat a breakfast like that anymore without going back to bed. Those breakfasts now come far and few between, and are eaten at night so I can die in my sleep.

 

[mikewint]

pancakes fried in bacon grease, now that's good eats. Never got much got into grits or biscuits and sauage gravy
