Why dont we just manufacture melanin pigment sunoils :thumbup: problem solved ...

Oh i dont talk to the OZ lot if you dare say anything that may slightly be not what they think , they go nutty , i know

Well its funny how the old generation lived til 90s and used to be out in the sun hop picking ,strawberry picking and stuff .. down the beach at Blackpool , Margate etc, and never had a problem my grandad lived to 95 !!
smoked , had a fried breaky every day , drank Milk , worked his allotment in the blazing sunshine , went through the war years , was shot , stabbed , worked in a factory with low health and safety emissions , etc etc.. According to todays standards he should of died at 40 !! but nope 95 and his brain was as sharp az a Razor .. legs were knackered and his arms wouldnt be any good in a arm wrestling championship , but still hanging in there .. Until :( His Wife and my Grandma died aged about 87 i think ? . then he just switched off and wanted to join her :(

So it Just makes me laugh with the new namby pamby generation ,and all the stuff they keep coming out with . ie;
Eggs were bad for you then good for you :confused:
Dont drink to much , yet a glass a day is good ?
Dont fry foods , to much fat ,yet the body needs some fat ?
Dont smoke ,
Dont drink to much Milk ,make sure its low fat ?
Dont go in the sun , yet its a fact mental health increases in sun ?
Dont have much salt ,yet body needs salt ?
Dont eat any saturated fats
The list goes on and on .


I had a pint a day of full fat milk at school , and look at how i turned out ;) hmmmmmmmmmm maybe you should cut down on milk :rofl:

I totally see what you are saying and some people use the same thing to argue for smoking, but the fact is that skin cancer is on the rise, and so is lung cancer, there are other factors involved now, including the bloody great hole in the ozone, more leisure time than we have ever had, etc etc etc, but talking as someone who has lost 7 of their mothers side aunt and uncles from cancer, it is real and it is something we must look at.


Oh and yeah, keep out of the OZ forum, even if its just to keep sane mate.
