Wall squats.Watching older people, I notice that once they start sitting down and watching tv for the day, they are cutting years off their life.

Milk that has been pasteurised is not good but milk that has been homogenised has had the fat proteins broken down which are needed to digest the milk. The only place I know around here, at least, that sells non homogenised milk is Waitrose.What are your views of milk? Do we really need milk 'for our bones' as we've been told from an early age, or should humans not drink it as some people maintain?
I used to drink gallons of the stuff as a child.

I've drunk raw milk in India a lot of times and the taste is hard to describe. It's incredible and you can taste the goodness in it. It's nothing like western processed milk. A lot of people are lactose intolerant not because of the milk, but rather because of the processing that's done to it.
You Brits are too funny!!- From the “experts”, who daily try to terrify us by asserting that doing [something currently disapproved of by our lords and masters] might increase our chances of developing split ends by 1%…

“They can ta’k our lives but they can never ta’k our freedom!? Now there’s a battle cry not designed by a clear thinker.”Nah, that gives you your endearing dour quality.

They always say ex-smokers are holier than thou too. Imagine encountering one of these vegans who had recently given up tobacco as well.Restaurant scraps plant-based dishes after becoming fed up with ‘holier-than-thou’ vegans
Isle of Wight eatery defends itself against ‘nasty’ and ‘bullying’ vegans who were furious that their diet was not catered for.
An award-winning cafe has at hit out at “holier-than-thou” vegan customers saying they shouldn’t have to adapt their menu to “suit” customers who don’t eat animal products.
The Kitchen at London House on the Isle of Wight went online to defend itself against “nasty” and “bullying” vegans who were outraged at their decision to refuse to cater to their diets.
Addressing its critics, it said: “If you want vegan food, go to a vegan restaurant.”
The popular high street restaurant in Ventnor said that though it used to serve some vegan food, they decided to stop because of a “militant minority” that spoilt it for the majority.

The Food Tsar has called for people to reduce their meat intake by 30%, not to become meat-free and the government is not asking people to give up meat and dairy. Firstly, let's be realistic about veganism, despite the almost evangelical social media and online hype the reality is that 99% of those who embark on a vegan lifestyle have faded after 12 months, with most failing much sooner:Government's "Food Tsar" believes that, to avoid climate breakdown, a reduction of 30% in meat consumption is necessary over the next decade.
That doesn't go as far as Greenpeace, who are advocating a 70% reduction.
With 85% of agricultural land in England being used for pasture for grazing animals such as cows or to grow food which is then fed to livestock, that is utterly unsustainable and something's clearly got to give.
The UK already has one of the highest % of vegetarian & vegan demographics in Europe, but you can expect to see government campaigns to encourage more citizens to take up a meat-free diet in the coming years.

A vegetarian diet of home-cooked meals is extremely healthy and good for the planet.
George Monbiot has had a rant against organic meat in the Guardian. He argues that introducing livestock to our natural environment degrades the ecosystem. Well George, pretty much all human activity degrades the ecosystem, especially building sprawling new identikit housing estates on green fields to cope with a population approaching 70 million. I would much rather see sheep and cattle in the fields than bulldozers and I don't want to get too political but it seems there are those in the Green lobby who want rewinding and open borders- Until you factor in the sources of most of the novel and/or tastier vegetarian ingredients - quinoa, tofu, bananas, avocados, couscous etc. - and remember that another “wing” of the Green movement wants to ban all transport other than by rail.
The full-spectrum solution (in the minds of the people driving all this pish) is for us to be reduced to eating only locally-sourced, organic produce that’s in season. Rather unappealing in the UK.
Bon appetit!

I think this is the problem in all forms now, not just food- we have too much choice. Do we need shops full of plastic dog toys when a tennis ball would do?Eating less meat and having meat-free days? Absolutely. Chicken used to be a luxury, not something you can buy in a bucket. A vegetarian diet of home-cooked meals is extremely healthy and good for the planet. Not so sure about fake meats though. But persuading people to reduce consumption is always a better than advocating or demanding abstinence.
