Someone took him to a buffet and he didn’t know what it was. He said to his friend “You mean I can pay 11 dollars and eat as much as I want to eat?!?! He ate for two hours. He weighs about 140 soaking wet. He couldn’t believe such a thing existed. Niger, please.

And that’s why new immigrants to the US frequently see immediate spikes in weight, cholesterol, blood sugar, and every other bad bio-marker. Take someone from a blue zone and plop them in a US suburb and their life expectancy drops. Take someone from the US and drop them in a blue zone and it goes up. Edited November 25, 20241 yr by nnm

I could never make it past that 3 day mark even when trying to show restraint. Anyone got a good meat market / butcher in San Antonio where I can get some kick ass summer sausage? If you've got the time, go to Castroville and visit Dzuiks meat market Edited November 25, 20241 yr by Longhornstampede
