Polls: Health & Fitness

Do you like when guys either do or talk about traditional guy things like sports, beer, video games, lifting weights, cars, motorcycles, guns, grilling, etc.

Is it a turn on when a guy fits the stereotypical American male image, because it gives him a masculine vibe, or does just make him boring because he's like every other guy? Would you instead have a more European type guy, who maybe dresses a bit more feminine, isn't into sports, has eclectic taste in food and the arts, prefers wine over beer, etc.

I know men prefer girls who are on the more girlie side and do the traditional girlie things like, go shopping, get all dolled up, talk about and take care of children, cook, etc. because it gives off a very feminine vibe.

On a regular basis?

And to clarify, regular basis means at least once every day. And I'll clarify each vice:

Coffee-Any type of coffee with caffeine in it.

Junk Food-Including soft drinks, candy bars and cookies. Excludes REGULAR unsalted kettle chips, unsalted plain crackers and pure chocolate bars.

Alcohol-Any type of alcohol.

Smoking-Any type of smoking (including THC filters)

Guys and Girls, so here is the deal.

Organic is getting better image around the world, especially Europe and North America. People have been more aware of health benefits that an Organic Food can offer.

So are you willing to pay premium price for Organic Food? How much, in percentage?

Kindly vote and share your views, if any.

There is this thing where you can compare your salary worldwide by calculating how long you have to work for a big mac. It's extremely accurate because it's cost has a lot of factors in it. So you have to use your own income per hour work (net) and compare it to the price of a big mac in your region.

For instance:

If a big mac costs $3,-

And you make a net wage of $9,-

It will take you (60 / 9) * 3 = 20 minutes.

In the USA, it's said that Americans on average only go to the doctor when they're sick, and there is little focus on "preventative health"...

...

...such as annual check-ups on weight, bodyfat %, blood pressure, blood lipid/cholesterol level, heartbeat, etc.

Being a former agent in the health and life insurance business, I know that the focus for health care has focused more on "preventative health", which makes sense because ailments can be detected more quickly, and are more quickly treated before they become full-blown and uncontrollable.

Health care is more cost and time efficient that way (sorry to state the obvious lol).

I'm curious about how many people actually DO go to the doctor to get annual check-ups.

Whether you reside in the USA or elsewhere, please vote and reply, giving as much detail as you wish.

Now I'm not talking millions, but a few grand a year couldn't hurt. Yes, they are on scholarship, but at the same time the NCAA is a multi-billion dollar business and have made $ off of the players.

The amount of time practicing is equivalent to a full time job, in which they have little opportunity to get a decent amount of $ by working enough hours as a local job. Obviously basketball and football players get the most exposure and I think it would be unfair if they are the only ones paid. I think anyone who plays sports on scholarships should be given financial incentive...much like people who earn stipends by studying.

I'm an avid NFL fan (Eagles better not piss me off this year!)...

...

...and on this poll I have imo the worst teams in the NFL going into this season.

Which team do you think, before Week one of the 2012-2013 regular season, do you think is going to be the overall worst team (not just statistics and wins, but in overall look and performance of the team)?

Vote and reply as much as you like.

P.S. Guess the pokemon if you want. :-P

Should drug companies be allowed to market new medicines without prior approval of the fda? If the drugs prove to be unsafe or ineffective, consumers would have the right to sue drug companies for actual and punitive damage?

How would you feel if you ingested or used a product without being fda approved would you even care? How do you feel about having the fda decide what you should and shouldn't take?
