How come? Woodworm (Woodworm) New member Username: Woodworm Post Number: 1772 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 6:41 pm:        A scrund you actually had? Would a holder of this scrund have unwarranted views of a particular nation? Is this about any single nation? If so, one of the Allied nations? Or their enemies? Or a neutral state? Is the Holocaust relevant? Is language relevant? Mussolini's ability to make the trains run on time? Hitler's vegetarianism? (Both, apparently, widely held misonceptions.)

Is it? I'm hardly an expert on this subject, but I know that there was a town in Finland that had such a high rate of heart diesase that the residents requested government aid--and this was way before the fast-food era (in the 1950's or 60's, I think).

I'm afraid so! ******* SPOILER ************** Wouldn't you think that food shortages & food rationing would be bad for people's health? Alas, it's not so. I read in some disagreeable place that during World War II, the death rate from heart disease & diabetes went down in countries where food was in short supply. Bad news for those of us who LOVE to overeat, especially gooey desserts. Please see my new puzzle you know where.
