Threats To Boycott Woolworths!

[ians]

And plenty of people will still shop in Woolworths - why ? because their food is better - they have a higher standard than some of the others - they remove food when it reaches its expiry date, not move it to the front so hoping that the next customer will buy it - I have seen them remove food on more than one occasion on the exact expiry date - so people say what they want - they will still continue to shop at woolies - my wife and myself included.

Funny you should say this, a friend of mine got cancer a couple of years ago, she was given six months to live, but once they did the operations, informed her she only had a couple of months. The doctor instructed her to stay away from certain food, and woolworths food was on the list, she did and managed to live 2 more years.

There is a time in a persons life when you need to start looking at certain things, 18 for example you shouldnt be worrying about heart attacks, but when you get to your late 40s, then it is time to start taking note. I have reached that point, late 40s, this year alone i have been rushed to ER twice for chest pains.

I have been watching a dvd some gave me yesterday, about health and foods we eat, health care and stats on deaths from heart related incidents, cancer etc. I must say it has been a bit of an eye opener. Some of the tested carried out on rats and what they use to make the rats fat so that they can do the experiments, and yes it is what we, or should i say a large population of the world eat.
They go into deatil about "fat free" products, sugar, i think it was msg, but stand to be corrected.

One of the things which stood out the most in the DVD and i am gulit of this, you are prepared to spend R4000 a month on a nice motor vehicle , yet spending a R1000 looking after your health is just not part of your monthly budget. What good is the motor vehicle to me if i die of a heart attack.

I have decided to do some research into a healthier life style, whether or not i actually change my lifestyle, only time will tell, if i live long enough.


I am not looking for a diet, been there and done that, lost 20 + kg walked my way to a healthier way of life, but lost the way and am back, 30 kg heavier and as lazy as can be. Waking up at 4.30 am is just not part of my daily routine anymore. It is so sad, in fact it is depressing, to a point that i just dont have the motivation anymore to get up and just do it. Maybe a heart bypass will spook me enough to get me off my lazy ass.
