Why are children in comfortable suburbs getting rickets?
Simple: their parents, despite having plenty of money, and no doubt decades of “education” funded at public expense behind them, are still ignorant about the basics of life.
They are ignorant about what is a healthy diet.
They are ignorant as to what is healthy behaviour.

Muesli-belt Mummies, government interventionists and health fascists -

ReplyDeleteJudith - well, I find that my common sense, such as it is, tends to guide me through. "Experts" could tie me to a chair and play me tapes saying "sunlight / fat / sex / life will kill you" and I still wouldn't believe that.
ReplyDeleteYou could actually use your argument on anything that any authority says - you're not one of these 'ere epistemological relativists are you?
Weggis - is there anything that beer's not good for, or do you mean B?
