save the frogs Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 57 minutes ago, Lacessit said: "of which there is a lot of"? My English teacher just turned over in his grave. Dear ChatGPT, is the following phrase grammatically correct? "Of which there is a lot of." Answer: Yes, the phrase "Of which there is a lot of" is grammatically correct. It can be used as a relative clause to refer back to a particular noun or subject that has been previously mentioned in the sentence or preceding text. For example: "We bought several kinds of fruits, of which there is a lot of apples." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a difference between lazy unhealthy fat, and positive healthy slightly overweight. Both attitude and spirit plays a role together with confidence. What I do not understand is elderly men who fat shaming girls here at this fora, be it bar ladies or western ladies, it is utterly low class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go have a look https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/obesity-and-overweight Raised BMI is a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases such as: cardiovascular diseases (mainly heart disease and stroke), which were the leading cause of death in 2012; diabetes; musculoskeletal disorders (especially osteoarthritis – a highly disabling degenerative disease of the joints); some cancers (including endometrial, breast, ovarian, prostate, liver, gallbladder, kidney, and colon). The risk for these noncommunicable diseases increases, with increases in BMI. Childhood obesity is associated with a higher chance of obesity, premature death and disability in adulthood. But in addition to increased future risks, obese children experience breathing difficulties, increased risk of fractures, hypertension, early markers of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and psychological effects. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds both reasonable and plausible. Most of us have a choice, and I feel most really do not care before almost to late, get a warning, or give up. Very few who know they are wasting their life eating junk, drinking, smoking care, and somehow led to believe that is the good life, instead of dicipline, structure and daily motivation to become better humans for themselves and their closed ones. Why the lack of motivation to be the best we can be? Thats a valid question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
