Cannibal diet

 Ever see a fat cannibal?

Cannibals are not famous for obesity. How about we adopt a similar diet that is high in protein and fat but low in carbohydrate?

Weight should drop off.

PS I have just heard that some geezer called Atkins has stolen this idea from the cannibals and made a pile of money out of it. The cannibals are really pissed about this. Warn him somebody.

       so the cannibal diet IS the atkins diet? if so it is baked.   

       the problem with the atkins diet (or one of them) is an imbalance in salts e.g. a deficiency in calcium and potassium.   

       are you very sure that computer: virus is the right category for this?

       Is there a mfd for not having a clue what you're talking about? Not sure 'bad science' applies here but something should... "let's all" maybe?   

       Atkins is nothing like cannibalism. You really should look up the definition of "cannibal" and "carnivore" sometime, and revel in the difference.

       One of them involves eating human beings, the other does not. A minor point, perhaps, but worth mentioning.

       Unless you're not human.

       [Po]: My careless mistake. Sorry about the wrong category. [waugsqueke]: Do I actually say eat human flesh? NO!   

       Human flesh is in fact a perfectly balanced food source - remember the Andes plane crash-except for fibre. So eat celery as well- its good for brain dunking.   

       Some of you take things too seriously. Develop a sense of humour instead

       wasn't there a cannibal that had to run himself up some bigger size trousers. he had pigged out somewhat.   

       this is *still* baked with the atkins diet, sorry.

       Canni B: Man, I've got a stomachache.
Al: Did you eat anything out of the ordinary?
Canni B: A missionary. Nothing new.
Al: How did you cook him?
Canni B: Boiled, as usual.
Al: Tall, thin, wearing a black robe with a white collar?
Canni B: Nope - short, fat, balding, and wore a brown robe.
Al: Ah ha! There's your problem, you shouldn't have boiled him. That was a Friar!

       // Do I actually say eat human flesh? NO! //   

       Yes you do. It's 50% of the title of your idea. What else could you possibly mean by "cannibalism"? Since you posted the idea on a site frequented by other humans, the meaning is clear. If this were a ducks only site, things would be different.

       //remember the Andes plane crash//   

       Survival is *not* the same as *being* a cannibal.   

       //Some of you take things too seriously. Develop a sense of humour instead//   

       I might if I found plane crashes to be funny, but they’re not. Fishbone.
