He problem gets it from a common misunderstand of a Roman legion. You see the Roman legion were the first army to create and used a standardized field ration. Basically the Legion only carried the food types schkorpio listed in ts supply train when on the march. However solders were expected (more likely could not be stopped) to supplement their food ration with what could be forged up in the field. I.E. Legionnaires are not vegetarians it was just cheaper to expect the legionnaires to eat the meat ;) of whoever they ere currently fighting with then to buy it from Roman merchants and match it along with the legion.
I still dont get it .. why not just people live how they want to? sure they might get fat, die quicker .. turn into godzilla. But its their life isnt it? Thats my issue with all this health ######e .. the whole "i know better than you, you should listen to me crap" Why not just stop the preaching and let people live? Who knows .. they might die faster... then you wont have to put up with them. Is that not a Win Win situation?
Oh and the OP was right about the naps thing, Having a nap does wonders!
BUT! NAPS + COFFEE = SUPERPOWERS*
Also if you want to get thin fast , try crystal meth or crack! :P

Sticks and stones... I don't have a problem with people preaching anything, so long as they don't come to my door with guns to force me to do it (govt laws).
Live and let live... or die. What REALLY gets on my nerves is if the argument starts to go in the direction of "but it's best for SOCIETY if you're forced to be healthier. Hey as long as I'm not forced(by law) to pay for your lung cancer treatment when you've smoked 10,000 packs of cigarettes, we're cool.

I know someone who had to spend 3 days in agony because their condition wasn't "immediatley life threating" until it because life threating, because the surgeons were being overwhelmed with a slow but steady influx of people who have done something stupid and needed immediate attention (and probably because the hospital wanted to get rid of them asap)
anyway so private health care is the way to go if you can afford it :)

Yeah when I have problems with my sleep schedule it's because I want to cheat and steal a few extra hours out of the day, for whatever reason.
lol it its even worst if your planning on getting a degree in the gaming industry lol Atm im lucky if i get 6 hours a night .. and deadline weeks .. lol just forget about sleep :D but it does give you the excuse to nap anytime (waking up with food stuck to my face has become the norm) Plus they do say its better to have power naps every 4 hours than it is to have a whole night of sleep. BUTTT! no doubt that will be proven wrong or some new bull###### will come along. At the end of the day if my lifestyle kills me early , MEH! i say , it was my life after all .. and if i live longer than any health freaks i'll die die laughing :D

If your office uses teleconferencing software, jump in on a random conference, mute your mic, put on your headset and find a position to prop yourself up so it looks like you're paying attention, facing away from passersby. Boom, hour-long nap in the early afternoon so long as you don't snore, and no one catches on that you're sitting in on other people's meetings.

As an Engineering graduate student, I've actually seen some of the more senior members of the grad group I'm in use that tactic. They open up Webex, proudly state that there's a really great open-to-the-public tech conference and then take a good 2-hour nap.

Ah, meetings. Best source of free donuts (and sometimes sandwiches) and idle-time to avoid that high-priority actionable item your manager wants you on all day, when you know for certain that it'll be rolled back by the end of the week. Second only to working from home via VPN, if you can get away with that one... I've caught my own manager playing SC2 during business hours when he's WFH 'to watch the kids'.
Really, the worst part of being a sysadmin is that if you're doing it right, you'll soon be out of a job or bumped down to a contractor because you've already automated everything to the point you only actually <b>work</b> about 10 hours a week, tops, on new clients or fixing odd one-offs that your scripts don't yet know how to handle. Assuming anyone's actually *watching* you.

Comments
to anyone who ranted: chill, i drink a lot of coffee and don't care about health nazi advice... i googled the link...
to people who lol'd at naps: lol to u sir, a nap in the middle of the day does wonders for your alertness during the rest of the day.
Thats my issue with all this health ######e .. the whole "i know better than you, you should listen to me crap"
Why not just stop the preaching and let people live?
Who knows .. they might die faster... then you wont have to put up with them. Is that not a Win Win situation?
