I cannot stand hypocrisy, I despise exceptionalism, I am repulsed by those who don't know history, I hate those who pretend not to know history, I'm offended by media who coldly report one side with bias and bypass double standards via PR. Sorry folks, the sickly west is vile.

1800s Argentina: British writer William Henry Hudson visits the Pampas, encounters gauchos. Documents their diet with horrified fascination. "The gaucho eats nothing but beef. Flesh morning, noon, and night. Never bread, never vegetables, rarely salt." Hudson expects malnutrition and disease. Finds "men of extraordinary stamina and strength, capable of riding 12-14 hours without rest, then dancing all night." The diet: beef, mate tea, occasionally grilled kidney fat (delicacy). Nothing else. Darwin visits 1832-1833, observes gaucho life: "I was surprised at the difficulty persuading gauchos to eat anything but beef. I brought biscuits and found them thrown away. They'd rather go hungry than eat bread if beef was available tomorrow." Typical meals: Morning - beef roasted over fire, fattier cuts. Afternoon - grilled ribs. Evening - beef again, tougher cuts slow-cooked. Zero vegetables. Zero grains. Zero variety. Just beef and tea. Hudson documents outcomes: "The gauchos suffer none of the ailments common to civilised man. No digestive troubles, no obesity, no tooth decay I could observe. Their teeth were uniformly excellent despite never cleaning them and consuming nothing but meat. Physical endurance such that they could ride for days with minimal rest, fight when necessary, resume riding without apparent fatigue." French physician Dr. Jules Crevaux, 1850s-1870s: "These men live exclusively on animal flesh and appear healthier than our European peasantry who eat varied diet of grains and vegetables." When asked why they don't eat bread or vegetables, common response: "That's food for horses and cattle. We eat cattle." They understood hierarchy. Cattle eat grass, convert to meat. Humans eat meat. Eating what cattle eat makes you perform like cattle. Into early 1900s, traditional gauchos maintained beef-exclusive diet. Then European immigration brought wheat cultivation. Health transformation documented by Argentine physicians. Traditional gauchos: healthy into old age. Urbanised former gauchos on European diets: diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, dental decay. Modern Argentina: 28% obesity, cardiovascular disease leading cause of death, diabetes nearly 10%. The gauchos who ate nothing but beef had none of these. They rode horses 12 hours daily into their 60s, maintained teeth without dental care, died from accidents or old age, not chronic disease. Same beef. Different context. When you eat beef with grains, seed oils, sugar: modern disease. Beef alone: You have the health of a 19th century gaucho.

@Gill_i_bix Not like @ShaneSaint with his two All Ireland medals for "hurling". Though I think you have to strike the ball in a match to qualify for a medal

@mmmmglebe An impressive haul but it’s only football, doesn’t count when it’s not the real game as we know

14 August 1995. Blur and Oasis began what was called “The Battle of Britpop” by releasing singles on the same day: Blur with Country House and Oasis with Roll With It. It was Blur’s single that reached No 1.

One of the great endings to RTE's Reeling in the Years. Bertie saying he would take great pleasure in watching non-compliant taxpayers go to jail - 'cause that's the kinda person I am.' To the background music of "I Got Friends in Low Places". (1993) #aras25
