I think it's probably genetic, but more in terms of inherited behavioural characteristics. We've got an obesity epidemic because we live in an environment of overabundance that doesn't exist in the developing world.

Human behaviour is to consume based on your available means, eating more than necessary in times of abundance to make up for the times we lack the same resources. Only in the West we never have periods of going without certain crops and livestock.

If we sustained ourselves without importing foreign foodstuffs, we'd be forced into a season-based diet that our physiology is far better suited for because it was the norm only a century ago.

e: This is just my undergraduate opinion, of course. I am not a dietician.

Over abundance of lovely foods mostly. It's pretty hard to overeat on fruit and veg, very easy to do it with simple carbs and fats. If you look at labels when you buy stuff sugar is in pretty much everything processed, and the stuff that proudly displays 'reduced fat' will have a shitload.

Not to mention the extremely disingenuous "average serving" based on what I can only assume is the food intake of ants.

Who else would note their friendship with Pell as proof of their piety?

Also in a blog post they lambasted the pope for telling Donald Trump that building a wall between America and Mexico was un-Christian. So in the order of holiness the Pope is below Pell who is slightly above Donald Trump on the Bolt scale of Christianity.

It's truly bizarre what some people consider to be Christian morals these days.

I'm sure Jesus would be all about the wall. I mean, he was all about telling everyone that Samaritans were foreign scum come to steal are jobs oi oi oi

I don't see why police can't be equipped with a non-bullet rifle that fires a GPS into an offending car, or a high speed drone, or gently caress, something. It's 2016, and our institutions seem to be incapable of inventing creative technical solutions to simple problems.

Although I am actually in favour of speed limiting cars to the signed limit. Nothing pisses me off as a pedestrian or driver than people speeding.

They have high speed drones or, as they're more commonly known, helicopters.

There's really no need for police to engage in ridiculous high speed chases.

I also support speed limiting cars. It's really not a big deal and the technology has existed for almost a century.

GPS has existed for a century? Could have fooled me mate.

Um, helicopters are really loving expensive to operate. Not only in terms of maintenance and pilot salary, but even just in terms of the fuel cost. Plus they're awfully noisy, and often used by the police merely to intimidate. As another poster pointed out, you have overestimated how many they have, and the ones that they do have are circling over Lakemba every night trying to give PTSD to recent refugees from places that have suffered from drone attacks so that they snap / to just let the browns know that we're always under suspicion.

I was talking about speed limiting to the signposted speed limit. Not just maxing out at 110km/h, because that does nothign about dickheads who do 80 in a 50 zone.

Yeah, good points, my bad.

This government displaying the bare minimum for human empathy is pretty good in the context of their previous behaviour.
