Why would it be bad for me? My people have sworn by the delicious buffalo before yours knew what it was.

[matronmalice]

however, you are not a yogurt fan.
besides, this is water buffalo yogurt, so it is semi-totemic for the TurkChief.
i also thought of Sven when i saw the crazy traveling scandinavian butter bar next to the goat products. had i looked a little closer, would I have found yak butter? maybe. i will check next time. then....mongolian tea! yumyum.

I am not a yogurt fan? Are you CRAZYSAUCE? I have yogurt in my fridge for every day of the week. Is like a staple of my diet. I just think the goats milk yogurts is nasty. It taste like goats milk cheese, which alone is nice but in a yogurt is nasty.

[matronmalice]

oh my bad.
yogurt is right up there with caffeine and lobsters as one of the most awesome things on the planet (lobsters mostly because the first person to eat one of those had to be one ballsy motherfucker). it is largely what is responsible for keeping me on animal products.

I'd be delighted to go around Philly with you! There are actually plenty of touristy sites I haven't been to since I was a kid and would love to see again. Oye...the Mutter...I'm super squeemish and have stayed far, far away from that particular popular museum. Yeah, I know...I suck! But I have a friend with a lovely shop nearby and I can visit with her while you guys go inside the Mutter.

So when are you coming down?

[matronmalice]

looking at probably the slow retail season after the holidays - beest likes the winter and i could always use an "upper" in january.

Most of my Jan weekends are already spoken for (Winter break and all!), so let me know and I hope I can hang out!

[matronmalice]

[orelalaith]

ditto.

the museums also.

i'm interested in the anime thing, but i need to know how much it is and when.

[orelalaith]

where did you find this? I'm always interested in new yogurts.

[matronmalice]

whole foods, actually, but you can order them online or i think trader joes carries some stuff. i am boycotting the Union Square whole foods and going to the one on 7th ave between 24th and 25th.

I can't see that obesity link, because it's apparently linking to one of your emails, which I can't access, but I'm guessing that it's talking about this report, which was based in the UK.

According to nhs.uk, 24.8% of women in the UK are classified as obese or greater. This is also mentioned in that above link, and it makes the "over half of" statistic a bit more meaningful. It's saying that greater than 50% of the deaths are clustered into an area of less than 25% of the women, and the other 50% is less densely scattered among the remaining %gt;75% bulk. So, yeah, there's a strong bias in the death to overweightness ratio.

It still would have been cool to get a more detailed breakdown saying what the death rates were for underweight, normal and regular overweight.

Then again, the number of people who died in childbirth is so small that the yearly blips may very well fuzz out any substantial data. But oh well. Numbers are fun. :D

[jcholewa]

And, oops, where I wrote "%gt;75%", it was supposed to look like ">75%". My bad.

[matronmalice]

it's cool. i need to fix my link though - i think i did click on the Yahoo news story from inside my acc't.
