Honestly I will just recommend going for long walks doing sports and competing pits a lot of pressure on your joints knees hips wrists elbow shoulders so just going for some nice long walks and eating a healthy balanced diet

Even as someone living in the UK when I go to Italy I automatically noticed a massive quality in the difference for food Iā€™m not sure if thatā€™s because Italians will not eat low quality of food or if thereā€™s some form of higher standard to food regulation in Italy but I often wonder about it

Same dog that was in the Tom and Jerry cartoons?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Basically. He was a Johnson type. I have a Scott typeā€¦ leaner, longer muzzle, more athletic/agile.

I have not seen a Johnson type in a very long time. Do they even exist anymore?

Oh, yes. The Johnson is what you would picture as the typical Bulldogā€¦ think Mack truck hood ornament. The Johnson is usually bigger and bulkier and they weigh 110 to 125/30 lbs. on average. The Scott looks a bit more Pitt Bullish, but a lot bigger. They are usually 100 to 110 lbs. My boy is a bit bigger for a Scott. Heā€™s hovering around 125 lbs. right now. I need to get him back around 120 lbs. Heā€™s developed his dadā€™s problemā€¦ at no fault of his ownā€¦ :joy:

How long have you had him? You raised him from a pup?

He was a rescue. I was at the vet putting down my 152 lb. Bull Mastiff/Rot mix. I was on the floor with him in tears.

The vet asked if I knew anyone that could handle a large dog. I thought it a rather insensitive question at the time. He had one of the girls bring out Moose. I knew I would end up with him.

The vet told me he was brought in to be put down. His family couldnā€™t handle how aggressive he wasā€¦ and they had small children. He also told me the kids teased him by throwing rocks and sticks at him. I wonder why he was aggressive? Anyway, he said he just couldnā€™t put this dog down because he really was/is a good dogā€¦ and heā€™s marked very coolā€¦lol. He was going to find a home for him.

Three days later I brought Moose home. He will be 5 in May. I got him at 18 months. The vet knew what he was doing. I think God had a bit to do with it too. Moose and I are boys. Heā€™s a velcro dog that is loved very muchā€¦ he has a good home now.

Yes I used to have an American bulldog my favorite dog I ever had but be careful they do not like long walks due to their muscular frame itā€™s bad for their hips I wouldnā€™t recommend walking them on concrete trust me I learnt the hard way my dog ended up with joint problems

Which AmBull did you haveā€¦ Johnson or Scott? My Scott loves to walkā€¦ he never wants to go home. :rofl:

To be honest with you in the UK theyā€™re not really a registered breed the way they are in America it was definitely a Scott but you donā€™t really get any paperwork over here

I did get a blue blood alapaha bulldog when they were first introduced to the UK with paperwork but I would have to say an American bulldog is the superior breed to have as a family pet

If Iā€™m not mistaken, beer in Germany must contain water and hops only, and nothing else.

I havenā€™t looked at the labels on beers brewed in America, but wheat, corn and other grains may be GMO, which is probably the case of popular Kirin beer in Japan. The Japanese use rice but I have no idea how rice is used in the beer production.

The quality of bread in the US is poor in comparison with dark breads used in Europe. White bread / wheat is bleached, as you may know.

Another thing to consider is water fluoridation in many parts of the US. If you cook rice or boil veggies with such water, there will be more condensed fluorides.

What does the combination of fluorides and beer do? I donā€™t know but it canā€™t be good for human metabolism, given fluorides are known to calcify the pituitary gland.

Soft drinks in America are killers too, especially diet versions. Aspartame was invented as a biological weapon. Aspartame and MSG are hidden behind fake names.

The American diet and the food source in America is one of the worst in the world. Whenever I am home, its always whole foods (not the supermarket brand) Fresh Veggies from the Farmers Market, Dishes with Quinoa, Salmon, Fruits, Grown organically, Nuts and seeds, Yogurt (no other diary such as Milk)

I always end up eating less when I spend time in America too, because I really donā€™t like buying anything like cereals, or anything that is processed and I am very conscious of what I eat, which is smaller meals a day.

Up To 90% Of The Cheese Sold In America Is No Longer Made Naturally

ā€œ90% of the cheese sold in the U.S. does not use animal rennet and instead uses a genetically modified organism (GMO) version made by Pfizerā€

They use a loophole to get around having to label all our cheese as GMO, Hereā€™s how:

ā€œ90% of US cheese has now been infiltrated by one of the worldā€™s largest biopharmaceutical companies, Pfizer, and it has GMOā€™s.ā€

Traditionally, cheese is made with just 4 ingredients, milk, salt, starter culture, and animal rennet, which is a clotting agent thatā€™s used to curdle milk into cheese.

Today, there are 4 different kinds of rennet used in the cheese industry, and reports are stating that the most commonly used kind is a genetically modified version called FPC, or a fermentation produced chymosin made by Pfizer.

These alternative rennets are both cheaper to use and speed up the aging process, which like always means greater profits. The crazy part is no one knows that theyā€™re eating this or how itā€™s really affecting us.

Because this FBC rennet is labeled as GRAS or generally recognized as safe, it creates a loophole that exempt Pfizer or other companies from having to label these products as GMO.

And due to Pfizerā€™s massive amount of wealth and power, itā€™s now made its way into about 90% of our cheese.

But how is this affecting us? Because this is newer technology, we donā€™t yet know for sure, but there has been a number of researchers addressing concern. After all, the only unbiased safety study used to approve these FPCs was evaluated by the short term 90 day trial in rats.

However, researchers are concerned about its toxicity or the biotoxins from GMOs as well as digestive issues for humans as these renin alternatives can serve as an allergen.

While Iā€™d love to present you with a list of cheeses to avoid as well as the ones that are safe, thereā€™s just way too many cheeses out there. So if you can, look for the kind of rennet or enzyme used in the cheese. I would seek out animal or traditional rennets first, then potentially some vegetable rennets, and Iā€™d avoid cheeses containing any microbial or genetically modified rennets altogether.ā€

ā€”-

More info:

This bioengineered chymosin (FPC) was granted Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status. Meaning, Pfizer was exempt from the pre approval requirements that apply to other (non GRAS) new food additives. Since Pfizer demonstrated what is often referred to as ā€œsubstantial equivalenceā€, the FDA concluded that bioengineered chymosin was substantially equivalent to calf rennet and needed neither special labeling nor indication of its source or method of production.

In case you didnā€™t know, this ā€˜GRASā€™ label is a little hand wavy and just a big loopholeā€¦

In general, federal law requires the FDA to ensure that food additives are safe and mandates a rigorous pre-market safety review process.

But the loophole = GRAS.

43% of food additives are designated ā€˜GRASā€™ and donā€™t get FDA oversight. Essentially, we must trust that food companies will conduct unbiased safety determinations before adding these new GRAS substances to our food.

ā€œAccording to the FDC Act, food additives that are non-GRAS need approval prior to marketing. In contrast, GRAS substances do not require approval or notification to the USFDA prior to marketing.ā€

Meaning the public and other regulatory agencies lack the data needed to assess the safety of some chemicals in our foods.

In other words just avoid American made Cheeses altogether!

Likewise, if American beers cause some health issues, maybe thereā€™s something we donā€™t know about the ingredients and brewing processes.

Drink European beer bottled outside the US.

I normally donā€™t drink beer, but when I do its only Guinness. :joy:

We have the same issue with fake cheese in the UK if you go to a pizza shop and it says mozzarella cheese on tne means itā€™s real cheese if itā€™s just says cheese on the menu itā€™s that fake cheese

Read something earlier that reminded me of this post Dominoā€™s the pizza chains opened in Italy in 2015 and aim to have 880 stores by 2030 they shut in 2022 after only opening 29 stores and accumulating 11 million Euros in debt

I suppose that explains that Italians will just not eat low quality food

Some interesting factoids within this video that I did not know previously!
