  1. The programming these two implemented on entire nations runs so deep, that I have been struggling to get anyone to ever believe that our stomachs and intenstines (2/3rds of the digestive system so 2 votes out of 3) don't know what bacon and eggs are, just the nutrients they break them down into and absorb. Because of this, it doesn't matter what you're consuming. What you consume breaks down into is what matters.
    But the tongue, (the third and FINAL vote) says "Bacon and eggs are good. Breakfast is good. I need breakfast foods for breakfast."
    Which, to be fair, tongue isn't entirely wrong. Breakfast foods are delicious and because of our life-long programming, hit different between 6am-10am. But stomach and intestines aren't technically wrong either, and they deserve to be heard as well, much as we don't like it.😂

  2. Cancer and obesity, what a combination. No wonder so many people fell for it – who'd not want the joys of lung cancer and all the pleasures of morbid obesity with Type II diabetes? Thankfully we're continuing to reap the benefits today.

  4. I swear if i dived ibto the archive youve literally used this script back when your lips were noticeably crooked and off tg the side like sonic the hedgehog. It was a time before you joined the Generic Bald Bearded Youtuber Club. I am glad you found wisdom! Lol. I think you look wiser and more authoritative with a beard. It lend credibility to you persona. If you dont look to close and ignore the human tendency to make snap judments based on appearance alone that often combine with the Pridefullnes and Stubbornness, meaning simon really would probably lose some subs and at the very least slow down recruitment and lower retention of new viewers if he ever did glt rid of that nicely trimmed and oiled facehugger . Lol.

    Also as ive listened while typing, im 100 percent you have done this EXACT script.

    Edit: oh boy dont i feel dumb. I went back to actually watching the vid and realized its a megacomp. facepalms at my own incompetence!

  5. Thanks. Now I drink nothing healthy. I hate water to an irrational level but I'm actually in my correct weight range and have no health issues that could be tied to it. My teeth aren't great but thats because I was and am so scared of the dentist as a small sized child i'd climb under chairs and have to be pulled out eventually I refused then a combo of fear, shame and new insurance ,ade me give up

  6. Back in the 1990's I worked in a frozen food factory, We had a load of carrots that had been rejected at every factory from east anglia to the north east of scotland. just boxes of slime, I was astounded when the Quality guy accepted them.
    we used caustic soda to take off the root veg skin back then and when the carrots came out they were "Baby carrots" just the cores left, Still once they were in a Marks and Spencer frozen baby carrot bags no one would know !
