Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution - Eat Less Crap

WHY WE NEED A FOOD REVOLUTION

We're losing the war against obesity in the US. It's sad, but true. Our kids are growing up overweight and malnourished from a diet of processed foods, and today's children will be the first generation ever to live shorter lives than their parents. It's time for change. It's time for a Food Revolution.

"Since I've been working in America, I've been overwhelmed by the number of people who have come out to support the Food Revolution. More than 630,000 people have signed the petition, over 300,000 of you subscribe to our newsletter and thousands of you have written to me. The only message I keep hearing is that you believe your kids need better food, and that you want help to keep cooking skills alive. That's why this Food Revolution matters."

Fat Tax? or The Eat Less Crap And Get Off Your Arse Diet?

From the Daily Mail:

Why a fat tax is the best way to save the NHS billions

For a country whose best-known exports include bacon and pastries, it might sound like an act of economic suicide. But yesterday Denmark became the first country in the world to impose a tax on fatty foods.

Any food with a saturated fat content of more than 2.3 per cent will be taxed at a rate of 16 kroner (£1.85) per kilogram of saturated fat. The move will add the equivalent of 25p to a pack of butter and 8p on a pack of crisps.

The move will rekindle demands in Britain, which has far higher rates of obesity than Denmark, for a similar tax.

Indeed, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has already called on Britain to introduce such a tax, and last year, the Food Standards Agency was reported to be considering launching a consultation on a fat tax in Britain, although later denied it had reached a decision on the issue.

Of course, the idea of a fat tax has been attacked as yet one more example of the nanny state in operation. Yet the truth is that taxpayers are already paying dearly to treat Britain’s growing numbers of obese hospital patients.

When the Government Office of Science published its Foresight report into tackling obesity in 2007, it estimated the direct cost to the NHS of treating obesity at £4.2 billion — around 4 per cent of the total health budget. Full Story HERE

This is one hell of a surprising walk. Shingle beach, woods, meadow, gorse, a river, a canal, a beautiful fishing pond, a water nature reserve, sea views, historic Naval buildings (and a mysterious 25 foot high concrete mushroom) - this is a real hidden gem of a walk - the only thing missing is an hill or two. I realised that this route resembled Britain after I uploaded it - hence the name. I think my favourite part of the walk is in the Newcastle area.
