As an antidote to the UK’s bansturbatory tendency, the following little snippet from Pravda is like a breath of fresh air :

Healthy lifestyle is like communism

Don’t fight against your food. “Just relax and enjoy it,” academician Rafael Oganov says. “For me, a healthy diet is like…communism. It’s something unreachable. I would not recommend strict diets to anyone to improve their health. No diet has ever extended anyone’s life,” the academician believes.
“I proceed from the assumption that food must bring you pleasure. You can’t just fight against your food throughout the whole life,” Oganov said.

“People always struggle – for peace, for harvests and for many other things. If they fight against their own food, then what is the point of living? This notion – “healthy nutrition” or “healthy lifestyle” is like communism for me. Something perfect and unreachable.

A shame that the likes of CASH and Alcohol Concern (and the rest) don’t see it that way.
