You know, he can be a big man, enjoy his food, and still be healthy and enjoy life. We all know his tendency to over indulge, but that’s what makes him Slim. Just not slim. It doesnt mean he is a walking heart attack, waiting to strike. Sure, his chances of a heart attack might be higher than if he ate nothing but dry toast and drank only water. But that doesnt mean that it is an imminent and unaviodable threat. Give the guy a break and let him enjoy his life. He’s happy with who he is, that’s the important part.
Dypak are you talking about my husband? He will agree with everything you said. And, so do I. I may not be a svelte size 2, but I enjoy my life and my Dr says I’m healthy.
whmIII said, The German stuff is rather bland but if you are REALLY hungry…it is the best.
Is the hamburger really German? If so, I *do* like German food. If not, has any German cuisine entered popular culture here? Does anyone say, “Hey, let’s go out and get some German food!”?
Joe Allen Doty said, Slim and Clovia could just go to a mall which has a very large food court and he could get an item from each of the 5 categories of food his stomach is talking about.

Jan, I’m speaking for all of us Cadillacs in the world of mini-Coopers. Just because I’m 6ft tall and pushing 280 doesnt make me unhealthy, lazy, sad and all those other unpleasant stereotypes. I see too many malnourished, spindly little fellahs out there to know that THAT is the not the healthy way to go.
Jim Fixx, winner of multiple Boston and other marathons, author of many books on fitness and health, died of a heart attack. You just don’t know. I’ll repeat some good advice; live well, love much, laugh often.

Stereotypical obese, yet malnourished, American; processed ‘food-analogues’ and pesticides, yum!

That’s a clever stomach indeed. Sometimes mine talks too much too, but not in that many languages.

I don’t know much about German cuisine, but the rest looks good to me.

Ha! Good solution to Slim’s indecisiveness.
