You are what you eat
Unless you're my daughter that is.
Two years ago, she turned veggie. No big political motivation or anything, it was just a whim really but she gave up eating meat and, fair play to her, she's laid off it ever since.
The only trouble with being a vegetarian is... she doesn't like vegetables. Well, not many of them anyway. Or fish. She'll eat tuna and the occasional plaice or salmon but that's about all.
Then a few months ago, she decided she needed to lose a few pounds, so she started a diet. That's saturated fats out of the window then. No cheese, pastry or cakes.
As if that wasn't enough, she had an appointment with the neurologist last week. She's been suffering with headaches for some time. If you ask me, she's faint from lack of nourishment but what do I know? So his diagnosis was chronic migraine. And what's the treatment for chronic migraine? She has to cut out chocolate and caffeine!
So what's left? Nougat and gravy I think.
Something tells me we're all taking these food fads a bit too far. There's virtually nothing that's safe to eat anymore or that doesn't cause headaches/bloating/hives/gout or CJ-bloody-D!
Someone pass me the tripe n onions...

I quite agree Liz. If we stopped eating everything that is "bad" for us we'd die of starvation.
The solution ?
Eat what you want and die young but well fed.
