Funny. I thought the same thing when responding to your fantasy.
Facts:
Nothing else needs to be said.
Content? Do you mean the *types* of foods they're given?
And more important, if a prisoner gains weight but becomes a lunatic, does diet really matter?
Balance of diet, and quality of food.
Again, that doesn't matter. Why do you want to change the subject? I merely stated that their food while prisoners was/is far better than they had in the caves?
Nothing more. Give it a rest.
Still not enough to win the propaganda war. We should have made them outright porky and treated them so well that when they were sent back home (and most should have been, by now), they'd evangelize for the American way.
The original article is about mental health. Your debate is analogous to this:
- Someone just spilled grape juice on their new white sofa.
- But it doesn't matter because their lawn mower blade was sharpened last week.
The two concepts are not related.
Never claimed otherwise.
Some with a propensity to overeat are doing just that.
Where I jumped into the thread is the context that I chose. That context was treatment of prisoners as it relates to food.
Usenet threads morph several times over. I commented on LMC's (if memory serves, it was him) comment on treatment of the Gitmo slime. I had no control over what it was before and after that.
(I'll be Joe here) So you're saying that weight gain is an indicator of happiness?

Yeah, if a month earlier, you were starving.
And the name of this thread is "Incoherency".

Waffle is a morphed cockroach, LOL.
