The government sets a bad example and the nation follows. I have also noticed that Brits are not only fatter because of New Labour, but also rudder and more violent.

The food industry spends millions to make us desire unhealthy food. Labour bullies us with very scary adverts about health, threaten to take away our kids, restrict health care etc, while we are exposed to adverts 24/7 to eat that 'tasty' food. A recipe for some nasty anxiety and/or food disorders I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-32262681318953001732009-04-26T19:49:00.000+01:002009-04-26T19:49:00.000+01:00Ignoring the silly arguments about people who are ...Ignoring the silly arguments about people who are scared by genes in food.<br /><br />There is a link between obesity and overconsumption caused by using credit/debt for consumption rather than investment purposes.AntiCitizenOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017073518049848696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-4116625497641504342009-04-26T19:26:00.000+01:002009-04-26T19:26:00.000+01:00The biggest problem among the young is that they a...The biggest problem among the young is that they are glued to tellys or 'puters instead of running around.

However, the fact that the manufacture of glucose-fructose syrup requires a highly technical process involving genetically modified enzymes makes it something I try to avoid. Plus there are studies which link it to obesity and diabetes. I suspect that the quantities that are being unknowingly consumed are at least half the problem as well.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-73565350924581959102009-04-26T19:07:00.000+01:002009-04-26T19:07:00.000+01:00As a measure, BMI is skewed against taller people....As a measure, BMI is skewed against taller people.

It's already established, I've read, that the "overweight" outlive the "obese", "healthy" and "underweight", which would certainly give one pause at what can possibly be meant by "healthy". And now it seems that the "overweight" are saner, in the sense of being less prone to depression.<br />(http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2458/9/14)<br />2) Rick, why do you think that glucose-fructose mixture is less healthy than sucrose, which consists of weakly bridged molecules of fructose and glucose?deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-38347024677123268452009-04-26T16:59:00.000+01:002009-04-26T16:59:00.000+01:00I think the reason that people might be getting fa...I think the reason that people might be getting fatter could be down to the increased quantities of genetically modified industrial gloop in British diets. For example, when I first went to the States in 1997, I had never come across corn syrup (glucose-fructose syrup), but over the last 12 years it seems to have replaced sugar in nearly all major brands from Kellogg's corn flakes to HP sauce.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-83483725544315443602009-04-26T16:19:00.001+01:002009-04-26T16:19:00.001+01:0030% obesity in children?
