'The Worst Places in the UK'

I call them 'Zombie Towns' - many of them are on the coast, areas of deprivation, depression, lack of motivation and opportunity.

Article mentions places I have cycled through, and where I'll be going - I LOVE it.

Sheerness-on-sea - truly an awful place

The coastal front, a barren concrete levy with a thin strip of pebble beach. The high st full of pound shops, cheap cafes and out-of-work men having a fag outside gloriously shit pubs. Every woman over 25yrs obese.
Margate - the inner city vibe on the coast (a sh*thole) + a long strip of amusement arcades, pubs & fish 'n chip shops.

I took photos of the place, but subsequently deleted as it the images were were too depressing to carry around😀

Just outside Margate - a study in desolation

INTEREST BASED LEARNING & OPPORTUNITY

My daughter is a professional artist and owns an art gallery - she has just bought a Mitre Saw. Why? So she can make frames for her own paintings (frames are expensive, she'll save £100's per painting) + she can offer a framing service
If a kid hates maths but likes cars, forget trying to teach them maths; let him/her mess about with cars - he will naturally learn the maths necessary to become knowledgeable about cars and engines, there will be no resistance to learn
Years ago, when @hib31_art became an artist it wasn't in her mind to use machine tools! The evolution of her business, interest, and the nature of opportunity has led to it. No one could have predicted it.

Protein Leverage Diet (or PE diet a la @tednaiman)

'Provision of High Meat Content Food and Object Play Reduce Predation of Wild Animals by Domestic Cats'

I.e. lack of protein leads to consuming (the search for ) more calories to make up the deficit

'Nutritional Ecology and Human Health' (July 2016)

This is a great paper and goes over the Protein Leverage Hypothesis,

This is the provenance of what I call the 'Hunter Mode' - fat melts off on this esp if two meals a day 18/6.

MYTHS - from 'Six-Pack at 60
How I remained lean.

A ton of exercise (and youth) kept me lean; you *can* outrun a bad diet as far as being lean is concerned
How I remain lean (now).

I do less exercise (and am older) and want to remain lean, be healthy, and ward off T2D (on my father's side).

Standards - what are yours?

Compared to the normal popn this is good. Compared to my athletic social circles, this is poor.

Corollary: some pple think $300k income a year is rich, a billionaire would think that is poor - they earn more from the interest on their interest.
There are relative standards and *absolute* standards; if you have absolute standards in a world of relative standards you are seem as obsessed, weird, orthorexic - but being judged by people with no absolute standards is as significant as a fart in a hurricane.
To have absolute standards in anything you have to create a force-field around you, as the entire environment and its agents are trying to turn you into a mediocre half-human.

Mediocre half-humans can't understand absolute standards....

There is no (true) freedom without health.
Good health reduces risk.
