Tell me lies, sweet little lies was very much tongue in cheek writing, this isn’t! This is the truth, this is what the WHO & those nasty anti-tobacco wallah’s don’t want you to know. (h/t to Eddie D)

We are sick of hearing that SHS is more lethal than sarin gas, more lethal than the atomic bomb, any hurricane, earthquake or tsunami – yet the establishment insist on beating the same old drum, just to ensure that we never forget the terrible toll smokers supposedly take on their non-smoking brethren.

Well, the WHO can stop all the wishy-washy shite they spew out, the anti-tobacco lobby can now sit back and do likewise for ‘their flag’ has fallen off the mast altogether. In fact, ‘their flag’ has been replaced, most sincerely, with another flag-the original flag of danger! It was red, unsurprisingly, but it was held by a man walking in front of a car.

No big surprise then that the biggest killer of all time is the motorised vehicle. Banded together, the car, the lorry, the motorbike, the bus etc make a formidable army of killers. To illustrate the point this shows you just how devastating a traffic ‘pile-up’ can truly be as nearly 80 people were either killed or injured in this piece of motorway madness with 259 vehicles getting involved.

Little surprise then that road deaths have now found their rightful place at the top of the sad list of human misery. Lord Robertson is to be applauded for his dogged determination in bringing this global problem to the fore as 4,000 people per day (including children) are wiped out on some road or other somewhere in this world. I note that the WHO have not disputed this claim, even though they will continue to spew out lie after lie that smoking, secondhand smoke and even thirdhand smoke (the most ludicrous claim ever) are the worlds single biggest killers.

Furthering the WHO’s embarrassment, I came across this website today whilst researching something else and this blows the lid off the WHO’s ridiculous claims and poses the question of “what exactly is on their agenda?”

In the first section on Global Health Statistics we immediately see the word ‘obesity’ screaming at us from the page. I quote:- “Obesity is now a major disease in Africa, along with HIV Aids and malnutrition. In South Africa, one in three men and more than half the female populations are women are overweight or obese, while in Morocco 40% of the population is overweight.” Obesity & Malnutrition go hand in hand by the looks of it in Africa-how can this be?

Australian Aborigines have been reported to develop high rates of obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes “after transitioning to a Western lifestyle.”

The World Health Report 2002 estimates “that over 3% of all disease burden in developed countries is caused by physical inactivity, and that over 20% of coronary heart disease and 10% of stroke in developed countries is due to physical inactivity. In 2002, over 40% of adults in EU countries reported no moderate-level physical activity in the past week” . That’s 73% of the people catered for then!

Native Hawaiians have demonstrated a reduction in obesity and cardiovascular disease by returning to a traditional diet from a modern diet.

There are 290 McDonald’s restaurants in Italy. This compares to 1,115 McDonald’s restaurants in the UK and 12,804 McDonald’s restaurants in the US… hence… “During the past 20 years, obesity among adults has risen significantly in the US. The latest data from the National Center for Health Statistics show that 30% of US adults aged 20 and older are obese. The percentage of young people who are overweight has more than tripled since 1980. Among children and teens aged 6-19 years, 16% are considered overweight “

Girder your loins folks, or girder your girdles if that’s what rocks your box – for this will.

30% to 40% of all cancers are directly linked to the foods we eat, the exercise we get and how well we watch our weight

There we have it folks, from the most reputable of research bodies & online journals. It would seem to me that with all the dodging of hurtling vehicles and flying ‘MacBurgers’, I am better to simply sit back, relax & de-stress from all worldly problems with a fag and a pint!

Anyone got the time to do that in Krakow?
