Are GM crops the way to go?
I have always been against GM foods but with so many people in the world and the lack of food around perhaps we don’t have much choice. I saw a guy on TV who is African and he said that his crops for the year failed because of drought. However if he had GM crops then they would have been able to survive. It’s very difficult in a situation like this to say that GM crops are bad. I know that if I were this guy I would do anything to feed my family.

Do You Eat Native?
So many people are eating foods that are not native to their own countries. The likes of Gillian McKeith tells us to be eating foods like Quinoa and Sweet Potato but these foods have to come a long way to get to thir destination. Also, if they are grown in Africa, we might be adding to the problems of food that Africa is experiencing. Africa has a problem feeding its own people let alone us too and there is also problems with water. This is one of the reasons that Lake Chad is getting smaller and smaller. What do you do in the name of healthy nutrition?
Do Celeb Chef Cook Healthy?
The are so many celebrity chefs these days saying that we should be healthy but at the same time they release cook books full of fat, salt and sugar. Is this something that they should be doing? There are loads of meals that can be made healthy as long as a bit of extra time is taken to think about it. For instance, instead of using potatoes you can use celeriac. Hebs and spices are also ideal for adding loads of excitement to a dish. People hardly cook anyway so perhaps it doesn’t matter. Rarely do people cook anything from the celebrity chef books anyhow.
What flavourings do you use in your cooking?
What flavourings do you use in your cooking? I’m a big fan of using spices and herbs because they give an amzing taste to your food but also offer a load of health benefits that ar simply amazing. Ginger can be used in Asian cooking and also offers the benefits of improving digestion. You can use garlic in just about every type of meal and it has the ability to clean your blood. I really don’t think you can get health benefits from eating artificial ingredients, even buying nutrition supplements aren't up to much compared to eating real food.
Easy to Get Addicted to Alcohol
Why are so many celebrities ending up with alchohol problems. So many of the great celebs have had problems such as Eric Clapton, Boy George, Brian Connolly and George Best. Some people seem to easily get addicted to things more than others. I for instance am more than happy to drnk just a few glasses of wine and leave it at that. But for others this is just a drop in the ocean of drink that they consume. Naltrexone is just one of the drugs that can be taken.
Drinking Wine in Moderation
So many people are taking up the habit of drinking wine. Having a glass of wine a night is perfectly OK, in fact many doctors agree that you should drink a glass of wine a night for your health. However there is an increasing number of people who are drinking considerably more than this. They are drinking about a bottle per night. Althgouh they might not think thet are alcoholics, they actually are and could very easily develop sclerosis of the liver.
People should also learn about wine and discover the facisination many people have for it. You could even splash out and get yourself a Bordeaux wine taxi. This would certainly be fun and might be where you should consider going this year?

I Love Food
Who doesn’t like eating. There is something so wonderful and satisfying about sitting down to your favourite meal. The problem is that often the foods we love the most are the foods that are the unhealthiest for us. We seem to be programmed to eat fatty foods probably because when humans we evolving, we didn’t always know when our next meal was going to be. Also, humans didn’t have central heating back then so needed fat keep them warm. The problem is that there are people who love to eat so much that we end up with the need for teen weight loss camps.
