Dammit you idjits... Then is a marker for time, when something occurred in the past or will sequentially follow another. Than is a comparative conjunction, when we want to compare one thing to another-- in this case, the intake of meat among British now and 40 years ago.

I am of mixed emotions on this: on the one hand, I fear for the common intelligence of the population, but on the other hand, I know that I can express myself much more clearly THAN most of the idiots out there, and I realize my salary and position in society are fairly secure.

And yet, they still can't have any pudding.

Woman (Switching the radio off) Liberal rubbish. Klaus ...What do you want with your jugged fish?
Man Halibut.

Woman Rabbit.
Man What? Rabbit fish?
Woman Yes. It's got fins.
Man Is it dead?
Woman Well, it was coughing up blood last night.
Man All right I'll have the dead unjugged rabbit fish.

Just sayin'.

The economic scars of World War II have healed. Only 8,000 more years of interest and principle to pay on the loans the Americans gave Britain during the War. The British can afford to go back to their beef-eating ways. On the other hand, even the French, Japanese, Germans, Russians and Chinese have adopted increasingly "Americanized" diets with more red meat, more fat, sugar, salt, processed food, and God forbid, fast food. This last is what the French really can't stand. They'll eat bad food, just don't hurry them.

More money means more meat--at least until you're so rich quantity, quality and cost lose their snob appeal and you make a big show out of paying for an enormous amount for a glass of water that is not really that much better than the rest of the water that comes out of the municipal mains of whichever lucky town has the bottling plant.

This is one reason why food stocks are down to lows not seen since the "green revolution" came to an end when donor countries got bored or realized that their farmers would have to compete with third world farmers if they kept encouraging agriculture in poor countries.

Naturally, where famine flees, obesity rears its ugly head and multiple chins, so the British and many others are now facing the kind of hysteria that drives rich Americans and Canadians to start putting their children on diets pioneered by anorexic actresses pushing twenty something. Nothing much has changed in Hollywood--the little light in your palm starts blinking at 30.

Does their diet have anything to do with the fact that English women have flat butts?

/Someone told me that. I have never been to England. They wouldn't let me take my horse on the plane.

If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

Except it should be as, not than

Good point, wiredroach.

And, yes, I should take a stress pill and calm down a little. For the most part, I dismiss bad grammar or illogical statements by people and simply chalk them up as idiots. However, on the then/than mistake, I see it enough that I fear we are on the edge of that "common usage rule" that the unwashed like to throw around to justify their poor grammar or spelling. If I don't fight this one harshly, it may soon be determined 'acceptable' for USA Today, and we'll all be one step closer to the Idiocracy.

Has something to say to the British people.

If you don't know, eating too much red meat causes gout. Which is exactly what happened to 'Ol Chubbs here. Rumor was his doctors recommended a red-meat only diet in his later years as a batshiat cure for some malady.

He got so fat, that the predictions of his death came true...

What did Friar William Peto predict would happen to Henry VIII if he cast off Katherine and married Anne Boleyn?

He would be punished as God had punished Ahab, and the dogs would lick his blood. When Henry died in 1547 his body was placed in a lead coffin and transported to Syon Abbey, where the casket burst open, and liquid matter from the corpse seeped onto the pavement. A dog was with the workmen who came to repair the coffin, and it was seen to lick up the blood from the floor while they were working.

Take that as a healthy warning, Brits!

Funny, I'm sure Americans do as well...

/actually, we've doubled our portions of everything

I'm surprised no one else noticed, but 50% more than the amount from 40 years ago is only one and a half times as much, not twice as much.

So it was about 33.3g per person per day on average 40 years ago.

</Geek>

Mmmm, mad cow. So tasty.

HornyDingo: I'm surprised no one else noticed, but 50% more than the amount from 40 years ago is only one and a half times as much, not twice as much.

The submitter doesn't know the difference between "then" and "than" so I'd imagine they also find math difficult.

You are so correct. I feel your pain. Don't pay attention to the idiots. It's not there fault.
