I am sure that the eskimos, finlanders, swedes, norwegians, laplanders, and the desert dwellers really grew up on those diets for thousands of years. Think bell curve. There are always outlying areas, but the vast majority of humanity is from temperate zones.

Now I'll have to have a hotdog next time I go to NYC. I'll send you my hospital bill! Seriously, the news went around asking people on the street why they ate the hotdogs still. Folks were saying that the vendors tend to be cleaner than most NYC delicatessens!

Ah,I didn't say that. I said when I was a kid, NYC had 'great' hotdogs. OH you kid!
Sorry, I haven't been to NYC for a few years, but last time I lived/worked there, the 'great' dogs, I didn't find.
However, I did just have an excellent local made Texas sausage for lunch. MMM MMM Good.

I heard Texas has the best barbecue but I don't want to start a war of the barbecues on FR.

The vast majority of Americans 'were' from England and Germany - Northern Europe.
No bananas and pineapples. Only fruits were (apples/pears) and vegies only in summer. Wheat basically only came with the Romans conquering N europe. Mostly meat eaters, cheese, milk, and preserved vegies like 'sauerkraut', dried apples, squash - pumpkins and I think Oats. Potatoes/tomatoes/corn came from new world.

You learn a lot about people by the fools they elect to lead them.

Yes, we have regular wars here locally - who in Texas makes the best BBQ and the best Chili in the WORLD. There are BBQ and chili cookoffs regularly.
And thanks to a great influx of Germans into Texas in the late 1800's, we have some truly great local sausage (but this is not so well known).

61 - Oh, and BTW, the vast majority of the Northern Europeans are of Viking descent, from the middle ages.

This is low-rent, to criticize a dead guy.What you really mean is it's low rent to criticize a dead guy that you LIKE. I assume you have no problem with people citicizing Hitler (a dead guy), Idi Amin (also dead), or Stalin (strangely enough, yes, he's dead too).

PS does that also mean you have no problem with me comparing Atkins to Stalin and Amin too, since both their names were in my post ????

73 - OK, I'll be good.
We had a couple of liberals here once, but we sent them back up to Yankeeland, father and son. I think they wound up in Washington DC.

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make.
Atkins didn't do anything to Bloomberg, or to you.
And Bloomberg has a hell of a nerve calling anybody ELSE "fat."

LOL - NY pretzels, pretty good, but Ah, for really great pretzels you need to go to Germany, and eat them with German mustard. *whimper*
I lived in Germany for four years. I would KILL for some good authentic German food!
I liked the pretzel rolls even better than the pretzels - round rolls made out of prezel...stuff. I can't remember the proper term for 'em anymore. Mmmmmmm...
To: sinkspur
Yo dude, calm down, okay? I didn's say that Atkins did anything to me. As a matter of fact, his theories interest me. I'm just careful not to jump on any bandwagons.
My point was this - you are a hypocrite. Why? Because you say it is "low rent" to criticize a dead guy, yet you probably do it all the time. That's why I mentioned Hilter, Stalin, etc.

I can have my opinions, you can have yours.
