There's one point that interests me about national obesity: my sweet old mother-in-law was brought up on a farm and throughout her young life had to work pretty hard planting, growing, harvesting, picking, killing then preserving almost everything she ate for the lean months. The farm and neighbouring farmers and horticulturalists provided all the proteins, carbs, fats, vitamins and minerals she needed but at the cost of a lot of labour. Nowadays it's no exaggeration to say that she eats absolute garbage; cakes, sweets, biscuits, everything cheap, brown and bad for her. When she comes to stay she brings a car boot-load of Pringles, crisps, cake, pork pies, chocolates, biscuits... you name it. She is overweight and unwell. Now Mrs Gti tells me that in the 1960s and 70s a change came over the family's diet when they got out of farming and industrial food, spearheaded by Vesta freeze-dried meals, hit the shops. The family used to dine on Vesta meals as it became possible to get the calorie hit with almost no effort at all, simply by pouring hot water into a sachet of energy-dense freeze-dried proteins with carbs and fats. The food manufacturers didn't waste time in jumping onto the post-war bandwagon of convenience food, which coincided with more sedentary jobs and increasing car ownership.

For some reason, my sister thought I like "I can't believe it's not butter" and that I use it at home. I don't like it, have never used it, and never will. The last time I visited her, she pulled out of the fridge the tub of it that she'd bought for my previous visit. I said "I can't believe you haven't binned it". Then I told her look, I have never used it etc etc. She was a bit miffed, but I binned it for her. Oh, how we laughed.

Hackneyed and lame, getting ripped apart by wild horses is where it's at.
Fair enough but you might need bulls, us Londoners are well 'ard.
