Who Is More Mature, Men Or Women

A Study has revealed that Men mature  later than Women.

The term Maturity is relative and is subjective.

Maturity

Maturity is measured differently from one Ethnic Group to another.

Taking relative parameters to arrive at a conclusion, to me, seems incorrect.

Story:

UK comic series called Wendell & Vinnie, which features a 30-year-old bachelor who suddenly becomes the legal guardian of his mature 12-year-old nephew.

“As a man, especially one who works for a children’s channel, the question if men ever reach maturity is one I am well accustomed to,” Tim Patterson, Nickelodeon’s programming director, said.

The study confirmed the suspicions that men mature later than women. In fact, men were almost twice as likely to describe themselves as immature than women were, and one in four men believe they are actively immature. Three out of ten women ended a relationship because they lost patience with their man’s immaturity.

The male and female perceptions of themselves and each other were alarming. Eight out of ten women believe that men will “never stop being childish.” Women defined the childish acts that bother them most as, passing gas, burping, eating fast food in the last hours of the night, and playing videogames.

Women were twice as likely to experience the feeling that they were the grownup one in their current relationship. Forty-six percent of the female participants studied have had a relationship in which they felt they had to mother their male counterpart. Women claimed they actually had to tell their man to, “act his age” on an average of 14 times a year, more than once a month.

Besides maturity, women yearned for communication. One quarter of women wished their partners would talk about themselves and what they felt more often. Women also felt they were the ones that made all the important decisions in their relationships.

The study also exposed “ Men’s Top 30 Maturity Failings — As Experienced By Women“ The top ten are listed as the following:

1. Finding their own passing of gas and burps amusing
2. Eating fast food at 2:00 AM
3. Playing videogames
4. Driving too fast
5. Finding rude words amusing
6. Driving with loud music
7. Playing practical jokes
8. Trying to beat children at games and sports
9. Staying silent during an argument
10. Not being able to cook simple meals

Women, generally, are good decision makers.

Their decision-making is instinctive.

Sometimes they deliberate over the’gut feeling ‘ and take a Deliberate decision:only then the decision goes awry.

Women are wise spenders, not withstanding th jibes at their perceived preferences to Dress and jewelry.

They normally are more empathetic than men.

Their problem solving skills are intuitive.

They are mentally tougher than men.

They ,at times, place themselves and their families over any thing else.

These are the traits I have observed and there are always exceptions.

TV Fast-food Ads and Obesity Linked

Fast-food

Mind has the knack of doing/following things to which it is constantly exposed.

Reinforcement is what makes one pay attention .

The advertisers know this and they do this notwithstanding the bad side effects they produce.

BOSTON – There is a long-held concern that youths who eat a lot of fast food are at risk for becoming overweight. New research to be presented Sunday, April 29, at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Boston shows that greater familiarity with fast-food restaurant advertising on television is associated with obesity in young people.

“We know that children and adolescents are highly exposed to fast-food restaurant advertising, particularly on television. This study links obesity in young people to familiarity with this advertising, suggesting that youth who are aware of and receptive to televised fast-food marketing may be at risk for health consequences,” said lead author Auden C. McClure, MD, MPH, FAAP, assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

Previous research has shown that watching TV is associated with obesity. Dr. McClure and her colleagues sought to determine whether recognition of fast-food ads on TV is associated with obesity in adolescents and young adults.

The researchers surveyed a national sample of 3,342 youths ages 15 to 23 years. Participants were asked about their height, weight, age, gender, race, socioeconomic status, exercise, consumption of soda or sweet drinks, frequency of eating at quick-service restaurants, how many hours they watched TV each day, and whether they snacked while watching TV.

They also were shown 20 still images selected from television ads for top quick-service restaurants that aired in the year before the survey. The images were digitally edited to remove the brands. Individuals were asked if they remembered seeing the ad, if they liked the ad and if they could name the restaurant brand. In addition, they were shown 20 ads for alcohol.

Results showed that about 18 percent of participants surveyed were overweight, and 15 percent were obese. The percentage of youths who were obese was significantly higher among those who recognized more ads than those who recognized few ads (17 percent vs. 8.3 percent). Even after controlling for the variables listed above, youths who recognized many ads were more than twice as likely to be obese compared with those who recognized few ads.

“A similar association with obesity was not found for familiarity with televised alcohol ads, suggesting that the relationship was specific to fast-food advertising content,” Dr. McClure said. “After accounting for overall TV time, TV ad familiarity was still linked with obesity suggesting that this finding is not simply due to increased sedentary time or an effect of TV programming.”

However, eating more frequently at fast-food restaurants depicted in the ads was not associated with obesity.

“The relation between fast-food marketing and obesity is not simply that it prompts more quick-serve restaurant visits,” said study co-author James D. Sargent, MD, FAAP, professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth. Instead, “individuals who are more familiar with these ads may have food consumption patterns that include many types of high-calorie food brands, or they may be especially sensitive to visual cues to eat while watching TV. More research is necessary to determine how fast-food ad familiarity is linked to obesity,” he added.

“Given the broad exposure of youth to advertising, the more we know about how media and marketing affect young people, the better equipped we are as pediatricians and parents to guide them in making healthy diet choices,” Dr. McClure concluded.

Two Collapse After Eating Hamburger

Fast Food is proving to be a killer.

Some of them affect immediately, some a little later.

Why can’t people go back to Home Food?

There is a Limit to Fun.

‘The infamous restaurant that makes people wear hospital gowns when they order their ‘bypass burger’ got their ‘flatliner fries’ in a twist when a greedy punter collapsed with a suspected heart attack – at The Heart Attack Grill.

Quadruple Bypass Burger

The 40-something unnamed woman allegedly enjoyed her calorific fat feast, as well as cigarettes and margarita cocktails, before she collapsed, according to the Medical Daily.

An ambulance arrived at the scene shortly and the woman is expected to recover.

This is the second heart attack casualty at the notorious eatery in Las Vegas after another diner suffered heart failure after chomping on a 6,000kcal ‘triple bypass burger’.

The restaurant, which also serves up ‘flatliner fries’ and 9,983 kcal ‘quadruple bypass burgers’ presented by waitresses dressed up as nurses, opened last October. It is currently holds the Guinness World Record for having the highest amount of calories ever in a burger.

Although the restaurant claims that it warns hungry diners about its fat-infested patties, people still flock back for more – probably because the grill offers free meals for super-sized people over 350 pounds.

“Who doesn’t want to risk a little danger every once in a while,” Basso told CBS This Morning following the February heart attack. “If I can put danger back into hamburgers, all the better,” restaurant owner Jon Basso told USA Today.
