IMHO, the bench press is generally used by trainees
mostly because it is an "easy" exercise. In contrast,
the dip is a "hard" exercise. (Ditto chins). Most
beginning trainees cannot complete a dip without
assistance. Some health clubs have an assisted
chin/dip machine, but not all.
Personally, I focus on dips, chins and pullovers as
the primary upper body exercises.

A few years ago I real a book by Adelle Davis entitled
either "Let's Get Well", or "Let's Eat Right to Keep
Fit". Davis devoted one chapter to the concept of
"racial diets". Being of mostly scandinavian ancestry,
I was particularly interested in what those
recommendations were. Fish and seaweed were definitely
staples of the scandinavian diet, so it would appear
your cravings are in line with the "racial diet".
Unfortunately, I lent the book out and never got it
back, do I can't check out your other questions.
