   You carry on wasting your time if you like, I have hobbies and other things I   
   prefer to do than fucking about making food.  Food is a fuel, if it tastes   
   nice and gives me energy, that's fine, then I can get on with my life.   
      
   And fix your newsreader, why is it allergic to crossposts?  You're breaking   
   the conversation into four parts moron.
