  • Hello Phillipa, well,at least most folk won't have problems from either HPV or Herpes. It's great that future (ooh, phone changed that to a naughty word!) generations boys and girls can potentially be free of HPV. 
    Hello @Nanny Beach  You do realise that I'm now going to spend the rest of the day trying to work out the rude word  :D

    @steveTu ... how the heck do you know what's in 'recreational drugs' ??? ... for the most part they're manufactured in an unregulated way by crooks ... in order to increase their profit they may add all sorts of contaminants to pad out the ingredients.  There's no way folk 'know what they're taking'... even if they think they do.

    All over the world the newspapers are full of such awful stories.

    Badly worded. I have a clue what's in cocaine, or in beer or in LSD or in...what I was trying to say (badly) is that I know they are drugs. They have some effect whether adulterated or not. It is then a choice as to whether you take them.
    That to me is different from manufacturers 'adulterating' food and selling it on the basis that food (in general) is good for you as without food you die. People do not expect 'food' to be intrinsically bad.
    I think this is the prog I saw a while back..not sure though.

    That made me then draw a parallel about a true conspiracy (as groups of people 'conspired' to get this stuff into and keep it in food)  to adulterate food and the fantasy conspiracies to get 'stuff' into people via vaccines.

    Yep - that's all I saw when I googled it. The expanded text below the 'Episode 1 of 3' gives you the gist. I think the documentary was spawned from the Super Size Me stuff that had aired years earlier in the States. http://www.columbia.edu/~lnp3/mydocs/culture/SuperSizeMe.htm

    I didn't mean to interrupt this Covid thread - sorry...

  • You could say that not much has changed since the days when flour was padded out with sawdust or similar.
    You do have a choice (to a degree) as to what food you buy/consume.  Your diet could be somewhat limited if you avoided all "processed" food but I think it is becoming more difficult.
    Looking at something as basic as Baked Beans ( Heinz of course  ;) ), the difference in their makeup has altered drastically. Like many manufacturers, sugar is their lifesaver.  The rate of obesity in the western world is beyond ridiculous - who would you blame tho - the consumer or the manufacturer ?

    There are three main  elements in processed / junk food: sugar salt fat .
    You decrease one, you increase the other.

    Philippa, haha,in case you didn't work out the word,it began with F ended in k. I can only assume it was because I was referring to predominantly sexually transmitted viruses, phone thought it only reasonable to chip in!!
  • Naughty phone @Nanny Beach :D:D

    Perhaps it's because I often type to my kids "f******phone,it was getting its own back.
