Interesting... I actually read a different story (not saying it is correct). China wouldn't sell the plants to Britain because they wanted to maintain their monopoly over farming the plants. The governor of Hong Kong at the time tricked China by pretending to want to grow a "native garden" and asked for a whole bunch of plants (tea being one) hoping China would overlook it and supply it... They did and the plant was then cultivated and shipped to China.
Is it ****. There's 926 calories in a whole one. So your post lunch 'snack' was 463 calories - nearly 20% of your total recommended intake. When you hit 36 and your metabolism slows down, you're going to end up a right fat ****
Nah, not even close. ***s are the worse thing you can do to yourself. It's like playing Russian roulette every time you light one. The ale comes second.
No, 36 is when it starts going pear shaped - literally 25-35 not much changes, 36 onwards the chunk sets in and bits start falling off.
So what you're saying is that if I ate 2 and a half chocolate oranges a day I wouldn't need to eat anything else? That's my kind of diet.
Surely it depends more on your lifestyle and how active you are. Not everyone balloons up, nor do they suddenly start watching what they eat. I guarantee I'm a lot smaller than most on here. I do have a bit of unnecessary timber around the gut area but generally I'm in good shape and fitness. If I were to start gaining they'd I'd make a alteration. Basically, you're a bunch of old jealous batards
I know plenty of middle aged plus people who are lean as ****. They see the inside of a gym a few times a week though like and have active lives doing a sport as well
No **** Generally speaking people tend to do less strenuous exercise as the years advance, and if you continue to put away the same level of intake, then the combination of that, with the ageing process means that most will put on timber. It creeps up on you.
