Even gels such as xanthan, carrageenan, carob et al though indigestable do provide a kind of roughage effect. The only unpleasant type food are trisaccharides which humans do not digest but which is food heaven to anaerobic colon-dwelling bacteria. Whops! Go steady on the peas, beans and other trisacchardie-containing foods!Dr Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176521760477086914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-21959602444834968482011-03-24T14:51:34.574+00:002011-03-24T14:51:34.574+00:00'Junk Food"

It would be interesting to see what the situation whould be if the turnout was less than 50%. In theory, it would not matter, but in practice...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-62842236776923360902011-03-24T00:53:59.408+00:002011-03-24T00:53:59.408+00:00I’ve just done a very quick and very roughly estim...I’ve just done a very quick and very roughly estimated rekkie of how much money I’ve saved since the smoking ban came in through fewer visits to the pub, meals out, theatre and cinema visits, holidays, and sports and various other social events. And guess what? I’ve worked out that since the ban I’ve saved significantly more money each year than I actually spend on cigarettes! No wonder the Chancellor is so desperate to hike the amount of tobacco duty up by so much. If I’m anything to go by (and I lived a far from extravagant lifestyle, believe me), he’s having to make up losses from a darned sight more than a few smokers giving up and a few more turning to the illicit cigarette trade!<br /><br />It isn’t much by way of consolation, I hasten to add – I’d still much rather be going out and enjoying myself, but being as none of above activities actually count as “enjoying myself” these days (more of an endurance test preceded by days of worry – and something of a sense of relief if they’re cancelled), it does give me at least a grim sense of satisfaction that in their efforts to price cigarettes out of the market they’re actually giving smokers more money to spend on – well, er – cigarettes, mostly!<br /><br />Oh, and I wholeheartedly agree with you, Ian B. It’s frightening sometimes when you speak to people these days – even perfectly nice people who aren’t raving anti-smokers or anti-anything else – and you hear them parroting the same old predictable opinions (from either side of the political fence), as if they were cast-iron fact. Even a few well-placed questions are met either with a repetition of the same views (as if “questions” just don’t get through) or that "look" - as if they can't make up their minds whether your're joking or whether you’ve actually taken leave of your senses for even daring to think that maybe, just maybe, the status quo isn’t as simplistic and straightforward as they’ve become convinced that it is. <br /><br />I really, genuinely believe that there must be something in the water these days to make people so moronically easily led. Or is it just (given the emerging studies from Denmark) that they’ve all been coerced into giving up smoking and have thus lost their ability to think outside their own limited little lives …….?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-10569114442725742862011-03-23T23:33:59.109+00:002011-03-23T23:33:59.109+00:00Well, on the turkeys voting for Christmas thing, I...Well, on the turkeys voting for Christmas thing, I wonder how many people voted Tory? I didn't. I said before the election that the Tories weren't going to be any better, and lots of libertarians said, "well, they'll be a bit better, at least they're not lefties". And that is why we continue to get the same old shit, because people keep convincing themselves that the Other Lot won't be as bad as This Lot.<br /><br />Well, to be fair, they scrapped the ID cards. But on the "nanny" state, they were bound to be as bad. They are part of a class who believe in nannyism. It is the Calvinist influence in our society. It was briefly in recession for a few decades, but now it is back in full flow.<br /><br />My fury at our masters is beyond description, as I said in a blog post. But I will be honest, so increasingly is my fury at the ordinary people around me. They keep voting for this shit, and they fucking deserve it. I just wish to God that I wasn't chained to the stupid fucking idiots.Ian Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436369802742523036noreply@blogger.com
