Approximate time taken for common materials to decompose from the middle link in 650Skull's entry above:

Plastic bag: 20 – 1,000 years
Plastic bottle: 450 years
Polystyrene cup: 50 years
Plastic-lined paper cup: 30 years
Glass bottle: 1,000,000 years
Disposable nappy: 450 years
Aluminium can: 80 – 200 years
Cigarette butt: 1 – 5 years
Waxed milk carton: 3 months
Paper towel: 2 – 4 weeks

Smoking looks very attractive. Also a move to waxed milk and fruit cartons seems the right direction to go. I hate wasting all those plastic milk cartons!!!

The same chart was posted at the interpretive center at Island Beach State Park where a display of the items were present. Volunteers comb these beaches, periodically. Fun Town Pier at Seaside after Superstorm, Sandy. Debris scattered along the entire shoreline of New Jersey. An artist in Washington State makes artwork from plastic debris found on the beach where we saw this fish sculpture. After the earthquake/ tsunami in Japan that destroyed the Fukashima Powerplant this Harley was in a crate unloading from a ship from the U.S. and was washed off the dock and into the Pacific and floated across the ocean in it's crate all the way back to a beach in Washington State where waves broke open the crate. The bike was traced to it's owner in Japan and was acquired by the Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconson and is on display there. My point is; it's everywhere, it's everywhere. And as storms increase in intensity, so does the scatterrng of debris.

Peanut, interesting video. So what do we eat, or should I ask when do we eat? Is there any guidance as to what the time spacing should be between eating?

well putting together all the latest research over the past year it seems that the key factors is to....
Reduce level of Insulin in the body by
Eating no sugar and .......
Eating carbohydrates in its raw state ie no processed carbs

The key is to eat real food which has fibre . The fibre gets processed in the gut and not in the upper intestine so we absorb less glucose and fructose and our insulin levels are not constantly high leading to fatty Liver & Insulin resistance weight gain and Diabetes

pretty miserable diet for someone that loves cake and pizza lol.
 
Also, nibbling between meals is out as it prevents the insulin resistance being reset. I think you can still eat loads of cake as long as it is made using glucose instead of common sugar and pack in some accompanying fibre i.e. a bowl of salad or an apple.
 
I am posting this here as it is kinda health related and also kinda mechanical as well . Some of y'all know about me being an amputee and now ya all can know. Last evening at work my prosthesis BROKE and my right foot, boot and all. just fell off as I was going to get something for a customer! With some help from co-workers I got to the van and drove home. When home, inspection revealed a broken aluminum tube about an inch diameter. So today when the local True Value hardware store opened at noon {Sunday you know} the search began for appropriate custom-rig material. Lucky they had electrical conduit in a size ALMOST right. Not quite large enough diameter for fully secure clamping in place but not so loose that it will fall off. Tuesday, after the Labor Day holiday is the first chance to go to the prosthesis office for a proper repair so this will have to do....In 42 years of walking with an artificial leg that was a first! I lost the right one just barely above the knee from a left-turning young driver who "didn't see the motorcycle" . It does not stop me from riding but in recent years it now puts me on the 650 instead of my Gold Wing Interstate due to the huge weight difference. At almost 65 years I am nowhere near done riding but must pick my rides a bit more carefully. All this year have been gathering stuff and getting machinist services done for the 700 cc build that was planned to be ready for NOW {Labor Day} ride to Springfield, Il. mile dirt-track races....Oh well, next year, I hope!

You cannot do that naughty boy....the body doesn't know the difference between refined sugar and sugar in fruit. Its the same sugar.no matter where it comes from. It still spikes insulin production .the only way you can have sugar free cake is to make it with almond flour and Stevia which is actually better than it sounds.Fruit is carbohydrate and loaded with sugar. Bluberries are approx 13% sugar !...healthy my arse
