Beetroot tomorrow then.


I'm familiar with the arguments for and against - I've done a few residential juice fasts where they teach a lot of that - but it does get way more nutrients into your system than you could manage by eating the foods whole, so a quick way to catch up if you've been eating unhealthily, and you can reduce the sugar spike by having all or mainly veg. If you have digestive problems it can also be a useful way to give all that a rest. There's been a big increase in IBS since fibre became fashionable in the late 70s, though it's just one factor among many, behaviour being the biggest (it turns out there's more than one point to table manners).


My father always said that a good marriage is based on a similar level of intelligence and a willingness to discuss someone else's bowel movements. Mind you, he has been married three times so there may be more to it than that.

I do wonder how healthy these kind of products actually are. When you make a fresh juice or smoothie it starts to separate and discolour very quickly (depends a bit on the machine you use), so to keep them looking fresh they have to be emulsified and heat-treated in some way, which kills off some of the nutrients and enzymes apparently. There may also be small additives that they don't have to declare, or so I'm told. God know what Innocent do to make a smoothie last for over a month.

PS, anyone who posts up some contrived anecdote about a friend of a friend at some non specific northern university who got scurvy because all they ate was pre cooked porridge for a term / variations thereof - you will go straight to the top of the Peckham rye head shot festival guest list.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
