So poorer families are cutting their '5 a day' are they?
Couldn't be they have never been particularly interested in '5 a day' diet could it?

/// how have you proved me wrong? I asked a question i didnt state a fact ///
Yes and can't an answer to a question be either right or wrong?
In your case it was wrong, since you asked me "wasnt it you who called it a non story to start with"?
And my answer was "It was not I who called it a none story to start with, but the 'Story Adjudicator' Gromit."
So therefore you were wrong.

"And ask 100,000 fat people "if they could take a pill to stop them craving for fat inducing foods, so that they could become slim" the vast majority would also say "yes"."
Not really comparable.
Alcoholic, drug abusers and smokers have a binary choice. You either continue with your habit or face the consequences.
Overweight people have a different challenge. They are supposed to limit their intake of 'bad' food.
It's the equivalent of telling a heroin addict, "You can inject, but only on special occasions - christenings and birthdays".

If you had done your research before tapping on your keys, you would have discovered he was referring to the first post that attracted 33 answers.
I have already explained that due to this 'Non Story' (so called by Gromit) I sarcastically named the second question 'Another Non Story'
/// Very strange this, a thread that has been called a non-story by some, has attracted thirty-three answers so far. ///
Please try and keep up dear.

I have only just read this thread, but on the 2nd page AOG states
"What we do suggest however, is the fact that poorer families tend to go for fast foods burgers and chips, rather than think about their 5-a-day intake."
I rather think that is because these foods are cheap and filling. A plate of friut and/or veg is filling, but only for a short time.

/// Overweight people have a different challenge. They are supposed to limit their intake of 'bad' food. ///
Then you might as well also say:
Overweight people have the same challenge they either continue with your over eating habit or face the consequences.
All one of the same.
Notice while you were contributing to this thread, it was rather strange that you did not remark on the story about those Muslims giving out death threat notices aimed at gays.
Since you mostly enter threads about homosexuals, which in turn attract many answers, for some reason this time you and others chose to ignore those death threats towards them.
Was it because it was a question of split loyalties?

I see you have found the original thread sp, yes I see the reason how you could have missed it, so I apologise sincerely.
But I still think my query was acceptable, that being why this question only attracted five replies apart from my two and your latest one.
I would have thought that most ABers would be clambering to register their utter disgust.
Have you anything to add to this disgusting case or shall we wait until they have been sentenced later?

The only thing I can add is that if I were a religious fundamentalist and went around posting things like that through letterboxes, I would have the balls to stand up for my convictions and not squirm my way out of it. One of the defendents said that he had nothing against gays, and that one of his lecturer's was gay, "and he's my favourite lecturer".
Peter Tatchell recently said (and I agree) that we should stop persecutions of any one who preaches that homosexuality is a sin.
Fair play - to them, it IS a sin, and they should be allowed (as well as Christians, Jews, Hindus etc), to preach that.
However, there has to be a line drawn - you cannot call for the murder of anyone, even if your religion explicitly condones it.
According to the Bible, women who commit adultery should be stoned. That may be the case, but if I stood on the corner of our high street calling for the murder of women who'd committed that particular sin, it would be right for me to be pulled up for it.
...because it's incitement to murder.

/// Only 8 more to go, the excitement is at fever pitch. ///
Calm down, calm down, you will do yourself an injury.
The reason I brought this particular case into the equation was the fact that you chose to call quite a few of my threads non-storys.
I was just pointing out that my so called 'non-stories' attract numerous responses, yet some disturbing news stories get very little attention, especially when certain groups are involved.
