    canned food shelf life study conducted by the U.S. Army revealed that canned meats, vegetables, and jam were in an excellent state of preservation after 46 years.

    The Washington State University summary article can be read at:

    http://www.whatcom.wsu.edu/family/facts/shelflif.htm

    A Food and Drug Administration Article about a shelf life test that was conducted on 100-year old canned foods that were retrieved from the Steamboat Bertrand can be read at the following link:

    http://web.archive.org/web/20070509153848/http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/CONSUMER/CON00043.html

    Following is a brief summary of a very small portion of the above article:

    "Among the canned food items retrieved from the Bertrand in 1968 were brandied peaches, oysters, plum tomatoes, honey, and mixed vegetables. In 1974, chemists at the National Food Processors Association (NFPA) analyzed the products for bacterial contamination and nutrient value. Although the food had lost its fresh smell and appearance, the NFPA chemists detected no microbial growth and determined that the foods were as safe to eat as they had been when canned more than 100 years earlier. The nutrient values varied depending upon the product and nutrient. NFPA chemists Janet Dudek and Edgar Elkins report that significant amounts of vitamins C and A were lost. But protein levels remained high, and all calcium values 'were comparable to today's products.'"

    "NFPA chemists also analyzed a 40-year-old can of corn found in the basement of a home in California. Again, the canning process had kept the corn safe from contaminants and from much nutrient loss. In addition, Dudek says, the kernels looked and smelled like recently canned corn."

    "According to a recent study cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and NFPA, canned foods provide the same nutritional value as fresh grocery produce and their frozen counterparts when prepared for the table. NFPA researchers compared six vegetables in three forms: home-cooked fresh, warmed canned, and prepared frozen. 'Levels of 13 minerals, eight vitamins, and fiber in the foods were similar,' says Dudek. In fact, in some cases the canned product contained high levels of some vitamins that in fresh produce are destroyed by light or exposure to air."

    I think you should be safe

    Attacking other peoples choices on here in an aggressive manner is unlikely to change their current diet.
    If you were calm and reasonable in your assertions and backed it up with credible sources some may even listen to you.
    Your approach is more likely to harden attitudes against you instead.
    All you have achieved so far is to alienate your audience.

    People can find their own credible sources bro, 2 mins on google will sort that shit out.

    People can take my mind-blowing advice or call me a wanker. I'm happy either way, bro.

    I've been trying to watch more British TV to gain a broader perspective re: some TD members- I'm pretty sure this gentleman is more typical of the average rural Limey:

    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    thing is, a lot of posters here are a lot more fortunate than you and have healthy lifestyles already

    your preconceptions and patronising attitude don't help you get your views over

    Can I do both?

    I happen to agree that milk's not 'good' for you - at least in the sense that it's not strictly necessary or needed for a healthy diet, too much fat also even in the low/non-fat types - however you've managed to put it in a spectacularly wanky way.

    Weetbix were invented by an Aussie and a Kiwi who sold the brand to an Aus health food compamy.
    They subsequently improved on the product and produced it in UK, changing the name to Weetabix. Progress eh.

    The Kiwi did the work and, true to form, the Aussie took all the credit. Bastards even steal our breakfast cereals!

    I could suggest that this is Withnail enraptured by Slaps departure, measuring his homebrewed wine and trolling, but it's just too full of homoerotic frisson for that.

    Good post. You could apply the same logic to many threads/posts across the board.

    I rarely eat breakfast as I rarely eat at the hours that others normally eat.

    My missus sometimes serves up Gammon ham steak with 2 poached eggs and freshly baked bread if I have gone to bed at normal hours (before midnight) but if I have wandered in at 4.00am it is normally a cup of coffee and 2 panadols.

    British private equity firm Lion Capital sold a 60% stake to the Chinese in May this year which valued the company at 1.2Bn GBP.
