Even just complex carbs. White flour and processed grains are pretty terrible but whole grains and legumes are slow release. The Mediterranean diet looks like a solid model.

What do they make pasta out of?

Depends which one you buy but generally shit processed white flour.

Is there much processing in flour? I thought it was basically crushed wheat with the chunks strained out.

Usually bleached and filtered. The wholemeal stuff is usually including the outer fibrous stuff although some just add shit to white flour. Those expensive sour doughs and stuff use unbleached flour which takes longer to dry out. It's better because they use a heap of chemical bleaching agents to do the cheap stuff.

What is the "Mediterranean diet" without pasta or bread

The one they are promoting is much less carbs and more greens and grains. You can eat healthy fats but lots more vegetables and pulses. Nothing processed. More Greek peasants picking Horta and making soup with a few beans than eating pizza. ****ing horrendous but looks like a solid base if you want a long life.

How about a compromise and we put rocket and olive oil on our pizza

Off season has started.

I've decided this off season I'm going to not go to the same 4 pubs/bars.

I'm finding it hard to believe that Coles employee's are so stupid that they think its OK to put their "special" sticker over the top of the use by date. But apparently they are.
Hey Coles dude's , if you need to have the info in the first place, you still need to have it when you mark it down because its about to go off.

They put stickers directly on meat products, so yes, they are that stupid and have been for a while.

I had to go to Wangaratta last week and to keep myself occupied I decided to count dead kangaroos. I stopped counting at 60. I've never seen so many dead kangaroos in my life. They must be in plague proportions. Some big Mofos too.
Anyone else had the same experience?

Not seen a one on my trips to Barham, so must be a recent thing maybe that caused a migration effect?

I believe they are semi nomadic and generally stay in an area.
They seem to be attracted to bullbars of late. Maybe the proliferation of 5g towers is interferring with their depth perception

They are, we have a paddock locally where they congregate and they generally bounce around the wetlands we have, just more routes I take is more and more alpaca territory than roo it seems, actually seen a couple emu dead but that was ages ago and not very many.

Wombats too. The wet couple of years has bred them all up.

I went back to my home town (Albury) for my stepdads 60th last week, and I noticed the same thing on the way there and the way back. Over the last 20 odd years of me living in Melbourne/ Geelong and making that trip 4-5 times a year, I've never seen it that bad.
