You must have seen it – it’s been all over the news today. 7-a-day fruit and veg 'saves lives'. Saves lives, eh? I’ll believe that when I see it. The fact is we will all die at some point so the best we can do is extend life, not save it, otherwise the world would be full of decrepit people living forever!
I really feel these stupid pseudo-research projects should
be consigned to the dustbin; they come up so often… eat this, don’t eat that,
eat more of this, eat less of that. God, it’s tiresome; we’ve heard it all before
and we all know the ‘researchers’ are just putting out this rubbish to make
sure they get another research grant for next year.
These people would have us believe their ‘research’ is vitally important when, actually, we're bored rigid and we don't believe a word of it anyway. They can't even get their stories straight; some countries say 4-a-day, some go as far as 10-a-day. So which is it? Do you suppose
our Grandmothers were told what to eat in such a prescriptive way? Furthermore,
do you suppose they would have taken any notice?
Some days I have barely any fruit and veg, some days I have
so much of the stuff it’s a wonder I don’t explode. I’m too old to live my life
by arbitrary rules made up by people who just want to keep their job, so I’ll
stick with what works for me and they can stick their research papers where the
sun don’t shine.
Just a thought... I wonder if I could get a grant to prove that the main cause of death is life?
