Do you think it has anything to do with feasting and the need for more food in colder weather?

It's not just from Paganism. It's about nature, and the yearly cycle. Think about it - harvest time is when there's more than enough food, so often people share it with the less fortunate. The food keeps for a limited time though, so in winter - at Yuletide - there's a big feast to use up the perishables that won't last until Spring. \n\nThen in Spring there's Eastre - at a time when birds are laying lots of eggs, and various plants are beginning to produce edible parts for the first time since the previous year. So people can finish off the emergency rations instead of saving them.

Cold weather is the result of non-will in us. If none of us step up and start Being that which we really are, then maybe an ice age will come. I live in Sweden, and yes it is getting colder.....

I heard on the radio that the south west is going to be dry and the upper Midwest is going to be a wet winter. Which means it will be a warmer winter. i think we will have more snow this year than last.

maybe he didnt eat enough

What he may be referring to is the fact that an increase in temperature can actually be a sign of a coming ice age. The reason for that is that increases in temperature can disrupt the flow of the gulf stream and other currents which control our climate. By disrupting this, it influences loocal and regional climate change which in turn influences global climate change. I wouldnt go so far as to say that something "helps" protect us from global warming, but I would say that it is such a complex issue that the effect of these gasses cannot be assumed from a short period of data.

The chart shows that refrigerator sales being made by this guy named Johnson are huge in the North Pole.  Question - since it's so cold there, why do people in the North Pole need refrigerators?  It's a poke at the ability of salespeople to persuade others into buying things they don't necessarily need, and a poke at those people for being persuaded I suppose.

The body needs energy to keep warm. Before winter, many animals go on eating binges to get fat for winter. But you are maintaining a lean diet.\n\nDiet and aerobic exercise will get you to your weight goal. Keeping a little cold will help, but not much. Don't do anything extreme that may induce hypothermia.

yes. certain food stay fresh longer when left in room temperature, while some would need to be kept chilled. the packaging also has an effect. some food need to 'breath' in order to stay fresh.

We have too much food. Well fed people are not well motivated. When it took all day just to put a meal on the table, people worked their a$$es off.

I doubt it, but there is cause for me to be concerned.  Something is making you less hungry, and it could likely be depression.  I would go see your doctor just to be on the safe side.  Also he can rule out any other medical issues that might be causing this.

Here in Canada the bikes are put up for the season since snow is around. Fall is only now getting cool which is unusual for us.Normally we would be under a foot of snow, but not yet. We normally clean the house Saturdays, and on sundays relax, walk the dog, have a drink by the fireplace, welcome friends who drop over and perhaps watch a movie all curled up together. Can`t wait for the snow so snowmen and snow forts can be built. We love tons of snow...hopefully we will see some soon...hey gotta have a white christmas right.

cold because your blood goes to your stomach and intestines to aid in digestions

"Further my friends each other's net work of food is each other."\n\nDude, sounds like cannibalism to me.

There is NO evidence that this is the case.  The problem is more in the prevalence of calorie-dense food and the lack of appealing "healthier" alternatives.

Food consumption has gone global. ppl eat more bcoz they hav so many things to choose from and also these things are very cheap. Packaged products etc has caused cases like obesity to rise. When ts bringing more employment, its also bringin a health crisis.

Probably just the weather changing quickly ? We had a thunderstorm a few weeks ago, except it was snowing with it. Really warm before it and really cold afterwards... I'm sure it's nothing to alarm yourself over.

It is called the energy of activation or activation energy. The bacteria and maybe fungi cannot multiply at the reduced temps so the food will not be attacked by the microbes.Also proteins don't breakdown quickly at lower temps so the food will be fresh when it defrosts
