Nice list.. thanx..

do prawns really have a good amount of protein in them?

surely the cholestrol would outweigh anygood from them...

That looks quite american that list.

I guess thats straight off an American list. They are called prawns mate!

Should add kangaroo meat, and what about pot set yoghurt?

just a matter of adapting it to your needs

If thats American whats Australian?

Also Prawns and shrimp are different. They do both look the same tho.

A pie and a six pack of beer

More like 3 pies and a case of beer.

I thought as much.

Remember up until the early/mid 90s when in sports such as rugby league and union, to get forwards to bulk up, clubs used to instruct players to increase their meat pie, sausage roll, chips and beer consumption?

hahaha how quickly times changed.

geez i would hate to see how much that grocery bill came to

Esp because it a US grocery list..

hahahaha, as funny as it sounds its true. I have studied cases in my tax law subjects at uni where rugby league players from as recent as the 80s and early 90s were instructed exactly what I wrote above to bulk up. they all tried to claim the extra beer and food purchases back on tax. Unfortunately for them they couldn't, but their gym memberhsips they could.

They knew you needed to exercise, but the food/nutrients side of being fit and healthy just wasn't known or wasn't a big focus.

Correct me if I`m wrong but wasn`t there a rugby player who took it to court and won?
He was told to drink 6 stubbies a day by his coach and claimed it as a deduction.

You can claim gym memberships on tax?

While there is some fine print to it , but you can claim gym fees on your tax if they're incurred in producing taxable income or if your job requires a high level of fitness.

could being an automotive spraypainter require a high level of fitness?? rubbing down cars, etc.

Im a cubicle monkey

No tax refund for me.

hmmm weird ive seen the exact post somewhere else...
