One quarter of British children think fish fingers are made from chicken - Polidicks

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;40890950]skipping breakfast lowers mental performance throughout the rest of the day[/QUOTE] Can you provide a study for this? [QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;40891007]Breakfast 'triggers' your body to start burning energy since it's not being starved still.[/QUOTE] It takes longer than 10 hours for your body to go into starvation mode. Occasional fasting causes no long-term metabolic changes, so adding another 4 hours onto the end of your nighttime gap of not eating won't either. [QUOTE=LordCrypto;40891268]zeke i have noticed that if i skip breakfast when i have lunch, i eat considerably less and i'm not as hungry basically you need to tell your stomach "hey guess what its daytime aka food time"[/QUOTE] Yeah, I've noticed that too, and it's a good thing. If I skip breakfast I snack less throughout the day and feel more full overall. [editline]4th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=matt.ant;40891021]They're supposed to have carbs, the idea is that you eat breakfast and have enough energy and feel fuller until lunch time so you aren't snacking[/QUOTE] Carbs make you crave more carbs though. Any time I eat traditional breakfast foods I'm snacking within the hour. [editline]4th June 2013[/editline] Skipping breakfast was one of the biggest changes I've made since I started losing weight and I've felt fantastic ever since

I only learnt the other day that when you get seaweed from Chinese, it's actually just salty cabbage Missus thought that was hilarious

They probably chose chicken because "fuck the system"

[QUOTE=Furioso;40894193]well, yeah, that's the idea A neutral hydrogen atom is just a proton and one electron, with the proton serving as a very bare nucleus. The most common isotope of hydrogen, the positive cation H+, is just a proton, also called a hydron or simply hydrogen. The terms are synonymous. In a sense, yes, [I]we and almost everything as we know it[/I] is made of hydrogen.[/QUOTE] that's like saying every number = 1 because they have the number 1 in it

Blimey, and I thought I was a stupid person.

[QUOTE=VTG;40897199]that's like saying every number = 1 because they have the number 1 in it[/QUOTE] Not at all. By your reasoning it's actually many ones added together to make something different. Every number can be broken down into a summation of ones. When a nuclear particle emits a proton, it is also said to be shedding a hydrogen ion. Even the chemical notation for a proton is the same as that of a hydrogen atom in nuclear chemistry, aside from having a positive charge. They're identical particles.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;40896672]Can you provide a study for this?[/quote] first thing on google for "skipping breakfast mental performance" [url]http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/eserv.php?pid=UQ:7963&dsID=ms_ad_33_98.pdf[/url] [quote]It has also been contended that skipping breakfast has deleterious effects upon various aspects of cognitive functioning. According to Pelican, O'Connell, and Byrd-Bredbrenner (1985), teachers report that hungry children are more likely to be apathetic, inattentive, and disruptive. This anecdotal evidence is supported by Meyers (1989), who has asserted that calorie deprivation can lead to children being so apathetic and listless that they withdraw from play, exploration, and social interaction. In particular, hunger in the morning can affect performance at school (Meyers, 1989). Pollitt, Gersovitz, and Gargiulo (1978), in a review of the literature, concluded that lack of breakfast may affect arithmetic and reading ability as well as physical work output. A study by Pollitt, Leibel, and Greenfield (1981) tentatively confirmed that fasting can affect cognitive functioning. Likewise, Conners and Blouin (1982/3) found that children who ate breakfast made fewer errors on a continuous-performance task and did better on an arithmetic test, while Simeon and Grantham-McGregor (1989) found that stunted or previously malnourished children, as compared with a control group, were adversely affected on cognitive tests by not eating breakfast. However, studies by Dickie and Bender (1982a, 1982b) found that missing breakfast had no effect on performance in arithmetic or on short-term memory and attention-demanding tasks, and Craig (1986) found no effect of breakfast on mental performance.[/quote] so while it's not definitive, eating breakfast is probably a good idea. also you have to remember that these are kids, not adults. unless they are already alarmingly unhealthy, kids don't need to be dieting or restricting their calories. I don't know how kids' metabolisms differ from adults.

The only thing that i am familiar with for food that has "fingers" in the end, is chicken fingers. I used to eat chicken fingers or chicken tenders, whatever the restaurants called them when i was little, and moved on to better meals.[/QUOTE] I think you guys call them "fish sticks"

Maybe the reason people may think this fish fingers are made of chicken is to either troll the subject, ignorant about the food, or never tried it (this is just my hypothesis, never been to UK and don't know the cuisine over there), it like me walking into a mexican resturant and don't know half of the shit that is displayed besides burritos, chicken chimichanges, and stake fohita's (don't know how to spell it right).[/QUOTE] These are fish fingers: [img]http://www.history.org.uk/library/1104/0000/0128/fish_fingers_295.jpg[/img] They taste best in a buttered sandwich with salt, vinegar, and a side portion of chips.

In some sense, yes, we and almost everything as we know it could be considered to be made of hydrogen.[/QUOTE] And you're saying this because there's just a proton which is apparently the "most common isotope" which is wrong. The most common is one proton and one electron actually because without an electron it wouldn't be that stable. It doesn't have the same characteristics at all. I think you're confused about the most common isotope though. One proton is one part of an atom which causes the atom to have it's characteristics, along with the other neutrons/electrons.

[QUOTE=maurits150;40888708]some people are more stupid then ever, and it's not nice to think that this is our future generation.[/QUOTE] Yeah the average medieval peasant was leagues and bounds ahead of kids who don't know where cheese comes from.

Yeah here in North America they're usually called "fish sticks".

Eh, I'm not sure what's worse, not knowing what fish sticks are made of or Finnish 7th graders who don't know what's a bell pepper.

[QUOTE=TorrentR;40908189]Eh, I'm not sure what's worse, not knowing what fish sticks are made of or Finnish 7th graders who don't know what's a bell pepper.[/QUOTE] I just had to google bell pepper. We call them just peppers

fish don't have fingers lol british education system

[QUOTE=Doozle;40908524]I just had to google bell pepper. We call them just peppers[/QUOTE] Same, except we call them Capsicums. Pepper pretty much exclusively refers to peppercorns here.

Maybe they thought it was a trick question
