My mothers account of the last time she was in India was that the men were generally obese, and sat around and ate. The women were expected to clean up and cook, and were allowed to eat whatever left overs there were. The women were skinny.

Her account.

She also commented on the lack of toilets for women.

No balcony?!

If you were really awesome you could set up a hydroponics garden inside your apartment?

Or start growing at a community garden if you have one in your area. Or just plant at a friends place, I know plenty of people who would jump at the chance if I asked to use a small part of their land to grow veges and give them half of the produce.

WHAT A NIGHTMARE!

From this comment, I don't think you understand how GST works.

I'm not having a go here Bud but, how old are you? Are you working full-time and running or supporting a household?

All of your suggestions a valid in a simplistic way but there are only 24 Hours in each day and for most of us there simply ins't the time left for this sort of stuff. Particularly if you're single and running your home without assistance or have children that demand a share of your time too.

Put the fork down fatty.

How come because there are a bunch of weak willed salad dodgers that cant stop eating junk food, everybody wants to put the price of my chips and dip up?

If you’re a GST-registered business then you both pay GST on your supplies and collect GST on your sales. What
you end up paying to Inland Revenue is the difference between the two. ERGO if you have GST exempt items, you cannot claim GST credits on any supplies you've used in relation to those goods. Exactly as I said, how on earth do you think GST works?

BMI isn't very good for working out how overweight an individual is, but it's pretty good for populations. Most people aren't all blacks or midgets.

The gastric band surgery thing amazes me. I can't imagine being so weak willed you can't be trusted with your own stomach.

**nudemetalz** · 10th February 2012, 08:56

We should use our "Government Minster of Transport" as a role model for getting healthy.....
Oh, hang on,......

The one that gets my goat is it's now called a disability if you get too fat and you can get it for free.

Well for a start-off floor area calculations have no baring on GST payable or claimable.

As for the rest, I guess I hit the nail on the head, you're a know-nothing kid that has nothing to offer but over simplistic answers to a world full of "grown-up" problems.

Fortunately there is a cure for your arrogance. Time is on your side.

Put a piece of bacon on the end of a stick and get the fat fucks to chase after it while you're riding a motorbike.

It's bearing.

What about lighting used for that area you'd need a floor area to work out what percentage of power is used for it. Including percentage of power used when scanning through GST free items at the counter. Amount of cleaning product used in the GST free goods area, maintenance costs for that area of the building cannot have GST claims. Any shelves bought for that area cannot have GST claimed, any sticker labels used in that area cannot be claimed. NIGHTMARE.

Anyone can choose how much time they devote to any aspect of their life. It is that simple. You just want to overcomplicate the issue, make excuses for your lifestyle choices and avoid responsibility for how you choose to live your life. Perhaps then you're too weak-willed to solve any problems, and perhaps that's why you find it appropriate to insult me on the basis of being younger than you...
