It's a national dish here, my parents came home with a load of it to cook in the oven, made me nauseous, I had some my parents ate it all, I think I'm one of the few people in this country who think food should be rationed. I have my bit of food, but the amount of food that's around makes me feel nauseous, sorry but my parents talk about meal times quite a lot, then slouch in sofas, watching TV, both got bad backs, it gets to me, maybe the only good to come out of my suffering is to eat healthily, not watch crap T.V., & take care of my physical self in future, instead of living on take-away & slouching in a sofa in front of TV like far too much of the British do nowadays.

PS. nothing against my parents.

It's just sofas that get to me, my grandmother suffered terribly from back ache for 30 years, maybe it's just my anxiety, that I realise it could happen to me, just I hate sofas, ok so I won't go on. Just at home, I always sit upright in a chair, wathcing TV, or on the computer.

OK, so this is a coincidence, I went to my voluntary work today with the cats (I just tidy up the cats kennels, it's a dogs & cats home but I make a fuss of the dogs too). I stayed there for a while, I went out for a walk & went back to a place that I've been to for years to have something to eat. I'm almost 36-years-old, & I've never seen this before.

Half price rice & curry, with chips (fries). So, I could mix curry rice & fries together for half price, must be because there's so much food going around Britain that they have to shift it into people's stomachs. Never heard of that, a curry, rice & fries meal, for half price too.

Stupid question but...rice and curry with chips? Is there any meat in it or is it just curry sauce with the rice and chips? Because that sounds sinfully good

As for sofas...I'd say a lot of people will regret things like that once they get older. I know I will, I have an awful back posture. And I've been sitting down far too much when I was younger. I was the kind of person who would sit for 10 hours straight in front of the computer without getting up even once. So my body will probably seek its revenge once I get a bit older.
So it's good that you try to prevent that.

And...people do eat too much. I'm the same as you, I'd like it if food was rationed. It's not really that difficult to eat relatively healthy if you just make a little bit of an effort to try and control yourself.

No, proper curry with meat, there's was a campaign for healthy eating in Britain, & for healthy living & exercise, but I think it's failing.

Oh...meat. Way to ruin the dish

And I'm not too surprised that the campaign is failing

It was on national news today about obesity in Britain, most British people will be overweight by 2020, it's a lost cause. It's true what I said it should be illegal, but a lot of people love so much food on their plate.

PS, is it like that in Sweden?

I don't think Sweden is as bad as UK (from what I've heard, isn't the UK supposed to be one of the most obese countries in the world? ), but yeah I'd say obesity and unhealthy eating is a problem here too.

As for making it illegal, that would probably not be such a bad idea. We have alcohol and tobbaco taxes here, maybe it'd be an idea to make some type of unhealthy food tax? If it was cheaper to eat healthily, maybe more people would do it. As it is now, it seems as if it's cheaper to buy garbage than to buy the healthier things.

A journalist in the newspaper which I read wrote she was going to America, she's there now, saying at least half of Americans are overweight, & it's likely to happen in Britain. It's going to be mentioned a lot in British newspapers - what to do? - until so many people are overweight that people just won't care anymore, it'll be like America, cheap & plentiful food.

Yeah...there's probably not much to do about it. As long as junk food is available in abundance, people will eat too much of it.
