How 'green' are you?

It does mean they cannot articulate their thoughts clearly, and thus for our purposes, they may as well be a kumquat.
shorthair:
Possibly. Not necessarily: my girlfriend doesn't often use capitals and instead of puncutation uses spaces, and she can be very clear at times, just depends on your sentence (or sentential, heheh) structure...although I agree a lot of polaris' posts seem haphazzard.
Still, in such cases, a lot of folks here then go on to dog their ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. So what if someone doesn't use that stardard. If you (not you, but a general 'you') don't understand, ask them what they're talking about...in a neutral way. If you don't want to do that, then just ignore what they said. Similarly, another may (or may not) be expectant of you to get what they're saying, whether or not they use the convention you use, but you don't have to allow that expectation to influence you. Both conditions just make for a lot of grief.
ChadTower:
Well that's my point - to you, your gf's poorly structured comments are worth the effort. You have a personal stake.
A person with crappy structure, that you don't really care one way or another to make much effort to understand, is just going to get bypassed around here. At least that's what I do.
shorthair:
Heheheheheheheh.....no no....you're missing the point. hehehehehe......I wouldn't read her ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- if it weren't readable....actually, I'd correct her, and people, especially females, don't want to be corrected on such things. I know from running them off with it. Her sentences are clearly compose. They just lack those two elements. Whereas polaris' posts appear a little rushed or/and scattered at times. It might be all that fruit he's eating and lack of protein. (Only half humorous, on that.)

i am starting to feel that being Welsh is causing a language barrier here, and thats not an attempt at being patronizing, when i meet a seppo face to face i tend to change the way i speak( hell people in london ,150 miles away look at me like i'm from mars), but maybe im too informal in my written conversation.
but to defend myself one last time, possibly with reference to the previous statement, i dont believe ive disagreed with the points 2 + 3 you've made at any time, with reference to point 1, ive been trying to make the point that there is bacteria at source which i agree irradiation will kill, if irradiation occurs and e coli poisoning still occurs from a foodstuff it would be almost 100% guarunteed that human interference would have to be the cause.people have assumed from what ive said that im against irradiating food. which i kinda am, but ironically this is the first time ive stated it.
do i get a tick for the irony? maybe even a gold star , please miss can i have a gold star :cheers:

polaris: 100g of protein a day. From the sources I've seen, less than a gram of protein per pound of muscle is for those who aren't very active, particularly in strength and muscle-building exercises. Are you 75 kilos and not very active? And on fruit, again: what about fruit in your knowledge and experience is crucial to nutrition? (Lastly, don't let the crowd get at ya.)

i am about 75 kilos , my friend described my physique once as 5 ft 11 and built like a fighting kitten. there would be reasonable debate amongst those who know me that im not very active , but i do have a very physical job.
obviously im quoting british dietary ref values here but i cant imagine they differ greatly.
the value is .75 to 1.5g of protein per kilo of bodyweight per day
its carbohydrates that you need lots of if your active, the protein is to repair your body so to speak, admittedly body building for example involves heavy abuse to the muscles but i would still say then, that being within the limits i gave would be fine. regarding fruit , crucial is the wrong word to use for me there, particular nutrients are crucial ,various foods can provide those nutrients, i would recommend fruit as it has many nutrients in it but if you feel sure you eat enough vegetables to not need any fruit ,cool.
