Joan, one thing is for sure that up until the '70's people were eating far more natural substances and not this man-interfered with rubbish which is foisted upon us now.

I remain convinced that the "food" which we eat nowadays is responsible for many of our illnesses now. Man made food is not natural - low-fat, low carb, sweeteners, de-caffeinated. Surely it is poison? Margarine..... a man made by-product of petrol! Loads and loads of stuff being made with what they call vegetable oil. Does anyone know what this vegetable oil is? Well is is oil seed rape - in other words, poison.

People used to eat fresh meat, fresh vegatables, full cream milk, fresh fruit etc etc. Not any more. That is all supposed to be bad for us, but I am sorry, I don't believe the scientists.

Also, I think one of the worst things that any government did was to sell off the school playing fields so that children don't get mandatory exercise any more.

IMO Lets get back to basics. Fresh food and exercise, kill the central heating, remove the school runs in Mummy's BMW or whatever and slowly but surely we should all come right again.

Just to play devils advocate.... but are people not living longer now? and has this not also been attributed to the change in diet?? (along with other things!!)

Also this is a very first for me - Margerine made from petroleum based products???


anyway whats wrong with mummy's BMW
