People should halve the amount of dairy foods they eat, the Government’s dietary adviser has said in a radical move to cut obesity.
Public Health England (PHE) says men should have only 200 calories of dairy per day while women should have just 160cal, meaning that just one large latte coffee could put a woman over her recommended daily limit.
Is there nothing these vile control freaks won’t try to poke about in and hector us over?
However…
The move was heavily criticised by nutritionists, MPs and the dairy industry, who accused PHE of putting public health at risk with its “baffling” advice.
They say the new guidance does not provide for enough calcium or iodine in people’s diet, essential for healthy bones and brain development.
So, as is usual, they are using junk science and their own hysterical extremist position to try to force the rest of us to comply with their ridiculous, puritanical obsessions.
Well, I’ll eat as much cheese, butter and other dairy products as I feel like and Public Health England can stick their recommended limits where the sun don’t shine.
What we eat is not a public health matter; it is a private one. We don’t need an Eat Well Guide. I can eat perfectly well for myself and intend to continue doing so. Any recommended limits will be studiously ignored.
The food Nazis should stop tiptoeing around. Go straight for the final solution. If we all stopped eating everything, that would fix obesity.
Attention-seeking for the purpose of obtain funding. Nothing more, nothing less. And it’s MY money they’re after!
Perhaps we could ban all food and just eat jihadists and religious nutters instead. Plenty to go around and it would also stop them breeding…
I think that we should be happy that these people are now starting to make themselves look ridiculous. When it comes to unhealthy diets there are things that are obviously bad, although harmless in moderation of course. But once the idiots start telling us that pretty much everything you eat is bad for you, they have lost what little credibility that they had. My philosophy has always been ‘eat a varied diet and do lots of exercise’ which has served me pretty well over the years. In any case, it’s nobody’s business but mine.
I recall a standard joke at school when I was a wee boy was that if you ate bread for eighty years you’d die.
Does anyone remember when they were a teenager and thought that they knew absolutely everything? I was right and everyone who disagreed with me was wrong because I basically knew everything that there was to know. Most of us then grow up and realised that the real world is so unbelievably complicated that nobody can fathom it all. Others carried on thinking that they knew it all and got themselves a job with Public Health England. Now they can advise their betters about what they have to do if they want to live forever.
Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die and stuff.
