Is food rationing imminent?

Is vaping any safer than cigs ? Genuine question

No one knows.

Seems to fuck the lungs up but differently.

Fruit and veg doesn’t make you fat unless you’re rolling them in sugar first.

You do of course understand what sugars do to you and that even carbohydrates are nothing more than complex sugars don’t you?
Take fruits (sugars) and high carb veg (root veg / tubers like spuds & beetroot etc.) out of your diet and you‘re then left eating a ketogenic diet.
Keto diets are what they put fat fuckers with type 2 diabetes on to stop from dying from the effect of eating . . yes, you guessed it, fruits and high carb veg.

For millions of years animals, including mankind, have fattened up on the fruits of autumn to put on the fat needed to survive winter . . and you think fruit & veg don’t make you fat?

PS. And where do you think sugar comes from . . . meat?

1) You seem to have forgotten entirely the existence of grains and pulses, which make up the majority of the world's diet.

2) Why are you even bothering arguing that fruit and veg makes you fat? No one is getting Type 2 diabetes because they overdosed on beetroot.

It's the healthy stuff that's being rationed, we're all going to end up as fat as Rats by the time we get some more veg in.

I truly love that poster .
But it doesn’t support your theory because the fruit and veg in short supply are those that we never ate when we were digging for victory . .
They’re the ‘out of season’ fruit and veg that are grown in southern Spain and South Africa . not the seasonal fruit and veg from our gardens and allotments.

We’ve only dined on high sugar and high carb fruits and vegetables ‘out of season’ in the last century . . and look at what‘s happened to our waistlines and health?
The exception to that was WW1 & WW2 when we couldn’t get out of season fruit and veg, when we had ‘rationing’ and our waistlines got smaller and the health issues associated with those fruit & veg we couldn’t buy to eat (heart disease, diabetes, cancers etc.) diminished dramatically as a result.

It's no problem to me, I'm just off to raid Misty's allotment

You’re not up to speed on this topic are you?

still believing the stuff put out by the British Heart Foundation . . That’s sponsored by the grain industry (most famously Kellogg’s) I guess?

The fact is that high grain diets are directly associated with fat people and type 2 diabetes.
As example, look at Egypt. In it’s pomp it was successful because the Nile delta had fertile soil perfect for growing grain.
Egypt was a grain / bread eating society and Egyptians consequently suffered from heart disease, type 2 diabetes etc. It’s historically documented and you only need to look at the statues from the period to see that they were an overweight people, the statues of the men had tits (typical of grain eating societies).
And the wheat in those days was high protein compared to modern wheat that has been developed to be very high sugar . . That’s why ancient grains (spelt etc) are considered to have health benefits.

And as for your assertion that eating beetroot couldn’t cause type 2 diabetes you should first understand that beetroot is high in sugar . . Try it, it tastes sweet and that’s a giveaway.
Beetroot is chemically similar to other root crops . . Root crops are where the plants store energy in the form of sugars (both simple & complex).
You get fat from eating spuds and beetroot etc because of the sugars they contain.
If you struggle to understand that then get your head round where British Sugar gets it’s sugar from . . it gets it from a root crop called sugar-beet which is a beet root just like beetroot is.

You try eating a diet that consists predominantly of beetroot. Go on and test your theory and see what happens to your health when you ‘overdose’ on that or any other similar high sugar root crop.

Always in moderation my friend ;-)

I suppose the idiots that stocked up on bog roll and pasta will now be out buying extra fridges to keep their lettuce and peppers in.

I hope you know that you have just started a fridge shortage :)

I've was on a Keto diet from 2014-2017, I would put my knowledge of it up against yours in heartbeat.

You are the one who forgot to mention grains and pulses in your rant about how fresh fruit and vegetables make people fat.

You get fat from eating spuds and beetroot etc because of the sugars they contain.

No one in this country is getting fat off spuds and beetroot.

And as for your assertion that eating beetroot couldn’t cause type 2 diabetes you should first understand that beetroot is high in sugar . . Try it, it tastes sweet and that’s a giveaway.

Again, I didn't say Beetroot has no sugar, I said no one on this planet has T2 diabetes because of their beetroot consumption.


But hey, if you really want to argue the toss about whether rationing makes people fat, why don't you go and look at some data from the 1940s to 1950s and tell us how many obese people there were while rationing was in place?

You’ve either not read or misread my posts on the topic as my first response was to point out that rationing (of imported / out of season fruit & veg) brought health benefits to the nation.
So, if you want to go off on one then please take better aim.

Also, I didn’t post that anyone was getting type 2 diabetes etc from eating beetroot, I responded to you by pointing out that beetroot is high in sugar and if you ate predominately beetroot then you’d get the same health issues you get from eating any other high sugar / carb diet.
So no, I don’t know of anyone getting type 2 from overdosing on beetroot but if anyone did overdose on beetroot then that’s exactly what they’d put themselves at risk of.
