Fat Attack

Went to the Israeli Film Fes yesterday and caught a really cool opening film called, "A Matter of Size".

It was essentially about acceptance and forgiveness and moving on with your life and not accepting other peopls's standards as your own.

Cheers Parveen for sharing them tiks.:))


Here a fat thought of the day, you would be skinny and still be living in your fat head.

So in the first chapter of Malcolm Gladwell's book Outlier, it was an italian community just outside of New York which seemed to be rather resilience.

They were called the Roseto. It was found that they hardly had any incident of heart disease belowthe age of 65.

here's an except from the book.

"It wasn't diet or exercise or genes or the region where Roseto was situated. It had to be the Roseto itself. As Bruhn and Wolf walked around the town, they began to realize why. They looked at how the Rosetans visited each other, stopping to chat with each other in Italian on the street, or cooking for each other in their backyards. They learned about the extended family clans that underlay the town's social structure. They saw how many homes had three generations living under one roof, and how much respect grandparents commanded. They went to Mass at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church and saw the unifying and calming effect of the church. They counted twenty-two separate civic organizations in a town of just under 2000 people. They picked up on the particular egalitarian ethos of the town, that discouraged the wealthy from flaunting their success and helped the unsuccessful obscure their failures."

It seemed like they had their heart-song sung outright and rightly so. Many of the italians used lard instead of olive oil and they smoked cigars heavily and were overweight. But their hearts are happy.

What's your happy heart song?
