The chronic shortfall of investment in water infrastructure, the £56bn debts of the water companies, the £66bn paid out in dividends since privatisation, the slashing of EA budgets by Liz Truss, the procession of hapless, ineffectual Defra ministers, the built-in 25-year statutory notice period to remove a water company licence ...

And getting slimed at the other end, we have continuing into ever greater unhappy unhealth: UK in ‘rapidly escalating’ diabetes crisis as cases top 5m wrote: ... also expresses concern about growing number of younger people with type 2...

Getting slimed all the way to being sold down the river...

Here's quite a healthy fun eye-opener: Zoe: Should you eat more protein? with Stanford's Professor Christopher Gardner See for their vastly more healthy real world detail, rather than continuing to suffer the incredible Marketing slime that scams us all!

Simply neo-liberal amazing: Zoe - What is "Ultra Processed" Food, and Why Does It Lead to Weight Gain? wrote: ... Many [most?] of us eat them regularly... Quite a revelation... Much much more than just "weight gain" and emptying your wallet. All so plainly 'obvious' yet also so badly obscured by our mad dash through a supermarket/big-store. And amazingly stark for his very own birth twin in their "Twins" study for the examples from both ends of the scales! Eat to live healthy! Enjoy!!

Some people are gluten and/or lactose intolerant, that said I like Yogurt as long as it's not plain or pineapple. I can tolerate sourdough bread since I can't buy any bread that is gluten free in this area, so all I can do is limit my intake. My paternal grandpa was into health foods before it became a term and after he died he was found to be as "healthy as a horse", that's what I was told back in 1970. Weight gain can be complicated, like joint problems where ones hips that had dislocated at one time have not been operated on cause of ones weight, 9 pain pills a day here, 5 in the morning and 4 in the evening, 3 Bayer back and body 500mg aspirin w/32mg caffeine in the morning and 2 later, the other pills are 650mg acetaminophen for OA which I've had since I was 30yrs old, I'm now almost 63. Plus there are 2 forearm crutches here rated at 500lbs each. As to what is a good food to start the day, it could be eggs or chex cereal or something, even a sandwich. My dad thought processed foods might not be a good choice, some of his dad rubbed off on him, dad could climb a rope hand over hand to the ceiling in high school and climb down without using his legs as grandpa had dad do exercises before breakfast, my dad was a WW2 US Army PFC Medic in North Africa and in Europe with the 3rd ID.

Sadly, an ongoing story poisoning us all: Revealed: The secret push to bury a weedkiller’s link to Parkinson’s disease wrote: The global chemical giant Syngenta has sought to secretly influence scientific research regarding links between its top-selling weedkiller and Parkinson’s, internal corporate documents show.

If true, this sugar substitute probably will end up on the ban list. This Common Sugar Substitute May Damage Your DNA and Increase Your Cancer Risk The zero-calorie sweetener in question is sucralose, which is about 600 times sweeter than table sugar. |

This one is just Wow!... A big wow!! The BITTER TRUTH About Sugar & How It Causes INFLAMMATION | Robert Lustig wrote: Dr Robert Lustig ... His passion is communicating how sugar and ultra-processed food is fuelling the chronic disease epidemic that we are all facing today...(Ignore the handful of incomprehensible sentences listing how our insides work, or rather the bits getting poisoned. The message is clear... Would you eat cyanide? Or put sand into engine oil??...) That is about the clearest and most hard-hitting summary of the disaster of supermarket food and fast-food for our lives that I've seen thus far. We really are killing our children, and ourselves. And he's seen it and tried to treat it in people and children, directly himself (with varying success...). How can we quickly turn this around for the good of all? Stay healthy folks!

One note that is particularly hard-hitting from that one: Trying to lose weight by counting/restricting calorie intake does nothing more than make you tired and depressed. No way around it! (And with that, supposed "slimming aids" do not work either.) ... Far far better is to change what it is that you are eating. The rest comes naturally. Literally. Enjoy your good food!!

Folks living in the area of the UK who get their water via Thames Water have ben slimed all too often: https://news.sky.com/story/thames-water-fined-more-than-3m-over-sewage-spill-that-turned-rivers-black-near-gatwick-airport-12914604 That's quite a sad record for a company that is supposed to supply good quality drinking water and ensure that the resultant sewage is properly treated before being returned "to the wild". Instead of which their sewage treatment has left a lot to be desired. far too often. (And remember it is said that the water drawn from the lower (non-tidal) reaches of the Thames have been through several sets of kidneys before reaching your mouth, and only a couple of those sets weren't human.... I like my water clear and free from sewage. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Now you have to wonder if the U.S.'s EPA still has far too many Trump workers in it or there's just plain corruption going on fueled by the U.S. industry. The U.S. Banned Farmers From Using a Brain-Harming Pesticide on Food. Why Has It Slowed a Global Ban? On his first day in office, President Joe Biden announced that his administration planned to scrutinize a Trump-era decision to allow the continued use of chlorpyrifos, a pesticide that can damage children’s brains. And with great fanfare, the Environmental Protection Agency went on to ban the use of the chemical on food. |
