Very well said Beerus.
I expect that I could be sent to the naughty step, please remember that us humans as a species are classed as the most intelligent on the planet. I would tend to disagree with this, I would say we are the most gullible  species on the planet , remember our education !!!!!!!!!

slightly off topic but yes I have gone back to full cream milk though it still dose not taste the same as the ones we were given as school children and you don't get the 1/12 cream settling out on top.

If you haven't tried Duchy full cream milk, give it a try If I remember correctly it's available from Waitrose.

Most intelligent, I very much doubt it. Most destructive more like.

Well we are starting to go way off topic, but to be fair, if we are the most destructive species, then we are probably the most constructive at the same time... think of the diversity of music, art, architecture, technology/invention.

More on the topic, I've never bothered changing what I eat according to the latest "research" and as said, it changes back anyway. When we used to make chips, we used dripping and as long as you cooked them at the right temperature, they were never greasy. If you don't lead a sedentary life you burn off some calories - think of farmers in the past who eat "all the wrong things" like meat with lots of fat on it, cream, butter etc - and all things in moderation should be the norm.

strawberries are definitely better straight from the plant, even 30 minutes after picking the taste has changed.
I reckon it was an excuse dreampt up by their mum to stop them hogging the fruit straight off the plants, that they still believe.

I suppose we are all gullible to certain extent, but the quote "you can fool all  the people  some of the time you can fool some people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time" applies.

Absolutely!
Also warm sunshiney baby toms are delicious too.
And I never put toms in the fridge anyway - they go all mealy

Exactly, both my grandfathers were farmers and lived into their 90's in good health, despite taking their milk from the top of the dairy tank and spraying DDT and god knows what else on their crops without any protective clothing
