@Ryanair delays, checking people in at the gate and making old people queue on the stairs to board. #rubbish

@askdavidjones The BMJ seem happy with it based on the NOVA classification. bmj.com/content/360/bm…

@lesf99 Having lost 26kg in the last year I'm on board with reducing simple sugars & complex carbs. But the point isn't that tasty food contains lots of sugar and salt that encourages us to eat and overeat: it's that the 'UPF' description is incoherent.

What are the arguments against synthetic human meat?

@askdavidjones Umm. Snowdon's first point on coco pops isn't a great start. Even after reducing sugar content they still have 17g per 100g. Human blood is supposed to have 4.5g of sugar per 5 liters. Even if you can stick to the 30g portion reccomendation that still going way too much.

@lesf99 Could go further with the criticism from Chris Snowden snowdon.substack.com/p/chris-van-tu…

@askdavidjones His article seems to be mainly focussed on whether the definition of UPF is precise or not. I'm not sure that's as important as the fact that our food is more and more the product of the chemistry lab and not what nature intended.

@lesf99 Ah … afraid I have a downer on his stuff & the sudden fashionable attention on 'UPF''. Ritchie is a Senior Lecturer at Kings, London, and a serious writer on public science issues: inews.co.uk/news/ultra-pro…

@askdavidjones That's such good news.

This means that my splendid weight loss is entirely my doing. Go me.
