Don't get fat (or get skinny), and die from
something else. Sometimes earlier than your
overweight neighbor, sometimes later. It's called
personal choice, and respect for the choices of
others.

No. You interjected your "knowledge" (in other words, your f*cking
personal fanaticism) into a comment of someone who was merely stating
their opinion.

Take your overinflated self-opinion elsewhere.

Oh, so you have one of those magical computers that allows you to see
what the other posters on this newsgroup looks like? Where can I get one
of those?

You have no idea whether I'm male or female, fat or thin, rich or poor.
So how do you get off calling me "fat boy"?

If you're really a reformed overeater, I'd think you'd be the last
person on Earth that would use "fat" as a put-down.

Just goes to show that you're not the smartest around here.

Damn, you make me wish Sheldon would post more.

You haven't even paid attention to the thread you're

For Gawd sakes, the guy's filmed the entire series so far in his
motorcycle riding suit. And he's commented several times about how cold
it was. So you can't even see how skinny or fat is from what you see of
him in "Feasting". He's wearing a thermal suit.

I'm not fat. I'm the perfect weight for my height and build. In fact,
I'm a little underweight as I have Crohn's Disease and don't absorb
everything that I do eat. And there's a lot of foods I can't tolerate.

And if I was fat, I certainly wouldn't insist that I like it. The only
thing I've insisted in the entire thread is that people like you should
stop telling other people how to live their lives. And from some of the
other responses, it looks like I'm not alone in that belief.

First of all, your unjustified assumption (demonstrated

Second, exactly how does this differ from any
OTHER lifestyle choice which involves risk?
(For that matter, can you name a choice which does
NOT involve options with different degrees of personal

If it's "alleged," it was alleged by Anthony himself. Read
his books, esp. "Kitchen Confidential."

I think it was the words "you" and "choose to be fat"
that demonstrated my opinion. And it's not an assumption.
It's an educated guess. It could be wrong. I doubt it is.

>Second, exactly how does this differ from any

It doesn't. Those are stupid, too.

Risk is risk because it results in a reduced expected
value. If you risk your life you are asking for your life
to be shortened, on average, to that reduced expected
value. Every time you take that risk you are saying
"take N years off my life." If you're in the lucky half,
it will be fewer than N. But if you're in the other half,
it will be more.

>(For that matter, can you name a choice which does

I can name choices that involve options with much
less risk than being fat.

Brown was offered the role of Chairman on ICA?!? That's the first I've
heard about that. Brown is pretty good as commentator, but the
"chairman" they went with (Dacascos) is terrible, he's so awkward,
stiff, and stilted. I assume if Brown had ended up as chairman they
wouldn't pretend that Kaga (the great, charismatic chairman of the
original IC was his uncle).

My favorite part of that episode of FoA was when Brown later reflected
on his taste of that enormous brain sandwich; how he didn't
particularly like; but on how the uniqueness of what certain foods
might be what keeps them "local," etc.

Well, during last night's episode, Alton (Mr Food Science) said diddley
squat about not being able to boil water to 212F at 14K. You have
trouble with that and with baking at altitude. Nothing said at all
about that. My wife (a Kiwi of sorts) lived in Colorado for 7 years and
knows you can't get water hot enough to make a decent cup of tea.

Nor did he hit the Denver tacos trucks. Pity, that. Nor did he go by
the Mexican joints near the stockyards that serve delicious menudo and
pozole.

Yes, I've heard amazing reports of some of the Mexican food in the
Denver area. I thought that most of the stuff Brown & Co. ate in last
night's FoA episode looked bad, if not disgusting. That stuff in the
diner, where they lifted up each lid in the kitchen to reveal mashed
potatoes, gravies, etc., looked inedible.

Be that as it may, the fry bread captured my attention in a special
way.

He was having too much fun failing to light things.
The no-second-takes character of this show is growing
on me.

It was interesting watching the white-gas stove put out
that huge flame, no doubt due to the pressure being a lot
lower than normal outside creating a faster flow through
the valve...

You don't want water at 212F for coffee or tea, anyway.
Which is why boiling it at that altitude actually works.
It boils quite a bit cooler than 212F.

Denver, schmenver. New Mexico and Arizona are where the
good stuff is. And it's made by Mexicans and Indians,
not by self-outing "white boys." (Though really, fry bread
is way hard to screw up, and it's not authentic; it's the
result of a diet the Indians had to adopt when the government
gave them handout staples to make up for taking away the
arable land and their traditional foods...this dietary
shift to sugars and fats and lowered fiber is also why many
tribes are massively obese and infested with diabetes...)

And if he wanted coffee on top of Pike's Peak, why the heck
didn't he just walk right over to the snack bar and buy a
cup? He acted like there wasn't a snack bar, tourist
trinket shop, and cog train depot right behind his cameraman.

This is the first thing on this show that's significantly
annoyed me.

Hey, if you grew up South of Uvalde, Texas and traveled throughout
Mexico but now work in Virginia, Denver's pretty damn good. My work
sends me to Denver for training and I regularly cruise Federal in
search of comida on my off hours. Try Taqueria Patzcuaro or Tia Maria
#2.

I hear Tucson and Phoenix have become so gringoized and honkified that
it's damn hard to find decent comida. A friend got her PhD in Tucson in
the '70s so knew the area, but had trouble finding places at a
conference out there last spring that even served menudo or machacado.

Phoenix is crawling with mom&pop mexican but is big so

so it's all about which wrong turn you take.

Nah, he's been stopping at places and buying the whole trip.
I'd have been fine if he'd said "We're not going to go into
the boring little snack bar and tourist trinket shop behind
my cameraman, because it's just as boring as all the other
boring little snack bars and tourist trinket shops at every
other tourist destination. We're going to try to whip up
some coffee ourselves. Besides, it gives me an excuse to
start a fire!"

Or "The good news is, there's a snack bar that serves hot
coffee. The bad news is, we're up here at 9 AM, and the snack
bar doesn't open until 10, and we're freezing and need coffee
RIGHT NOW. And it's a boring generic tourist snack bar anyway."

Or something.

But as I've been saying, I like the show, and wish it went for
more than four episodes. This bit was just ... annoying,
because I've taken the cog train to the top of Pike's Peak and
been in the snack bar/tourist trinket shop, and the way they
shot that bit gave a false impression of what's up there.

Sure, he's been buying things the whole trip - but the "goal"
mentioned was to make coffee AT 14,000 FEET, and that's
not something he can try to do anywhere else.

I'm not sure exactly when this whole thing was shot - given
the weather, etc., that Alton's encountered along the way,
plus the time required for post-production before the series
could air, I'm guessing that it was some time in the spring -
late March through perhaps mid-May. The snack bar &
gift shop on Pike's Peak isn't open year-round, at least not
as regularly as would be the case during the summer tourist
season (in CO, we generally think of that as being from
Memorial Day to Labor Day). Getting coffee (or anything
else) at the snack bar may not have been an option. There
usually isn't QUITE as much snow up there by the real
summer season as was seen in this episode.
