"More Nanny Meddling"

The latest Nanny campaign is to get us to switch to lower fat milk: and that grating cheese, instead of slicing it, could cut our risk of dying from heart disease.
Surely 2oz of grated cheese contains the same ammount of sat-fat as 2oz of sliced cheese.
"A new awareness campaign suggests tips which could save an estimated 3,500 lives by cutting the nation's consumption of sat-fat."
Or, in other words, 3500 more miserable people, giving up any enjoyment of food in favour of a few more years of a joyless existence.
It's my life. I only get one, and it's too short not to enjoy it.

I wonder how many people actually worry themselves into ill health....All that stress worrying about what you're eating can't be doing you any good can it?

If you cut out all the things you love to eat and drink and stop taking part in activities that carry a little risk, you won't actually live longer; It will just seem like it due to boredom!!
