Millions were spent on flood defences for Bewdley but when the Environment Agency needed to get the barriers up to protect people’s homes and businesses what did they do? – ‘Computer says no’.
The ‘Computer says no’ catchphrase coined by Little Britain’s David Walliams is still as relevant today as it was when it was dreamt up 20 years ago. So while everyone in Bewdley knew the town was going to flood, the Environment Agency checked their data and delayed putting the barriers up, instead of playing it safe before the storm hit. But, there again we only spent £6.
If we didn’t have so many hang-ups around food we’d probably find it easier to discuss what we’d had for breakfast – although a bowl of bran flakes and a banana isn’t nearly as interesting as discussing the latest storm or heatwave.For years a slice of toast or bowl of cereal has been the mainstay of our breakfasts. They are easy to prepare, tasty and perfect for when you’re rushing around in the morning.
If that wasn’t bad enough, the British Medical Journal has gone a step further this week advising that some intensively produced factory fodder should be officially marked as “addictive” due as it produces effects similar to drugs like nicotine and alcohol. This comes from a global analysis, spanning 281 studies conducted in 36 different countries.
According to the study, for some individuals the way they consume UPFs could actually meet the criteria for a diagnosis of “substance use disorder”. It certainly helps explain the levels of obesity we have in the West, but isn’t it a shame that our humble British breakfast, as well as other favourite foods, are being demonised in this way.
Reading document after document saying we shouldn’t eat this, or do that just sucks the fun out of life. Whatever happened to that saying “everything in moderation”?Just nowJust now
