I was listening innocently to Classic FM today when I heard David Gillespie talking clear common sense at last about the overweight epidemic that has the health systems of affluent countries on their knees. I had long ago decided that there's nothing wrong with eggs, butter and animal fat - we've been eating them for thousands of years, unlike that revolting invention called margarine, and canola oil, the petrol substitute that is now being grown instead of other genuinely nutritious crops.When I googled him I found suspiciously little about him (he is after all just a lawyer, not a nutritionist or a doctor, or even a food producer with a vested interest in marketing certain products), apart from this site:
I suggest that if you've tried everything else, try cutting out sugar. The strongest message was his opening statement - that on average we used to consume 2kgs of sugar per year - now we consume 50kg per year.
