Shutting schools is wrecking children's lives and has probably not prevented a single death. But protecting care homes was never even discussed by SAGE as a response to a disease that selectively kills the ill and the elderly. How? @BorisJohnson @CMO_England @allisonpearson

[Dr Zoe Harcombe, PhD @zoeharcombe]

"We were persuaded into lockdown with the promise that hundreds of thousands of lives could be saved in the UK & millions worldwide. We were never warned about the many millions of lives that could – and I fear will – be lost as a consequence of lockdown"

[Slow Food Glasgow @slowfoodglasgow]

This week's guest is @wendygoodfood, Ark of Taste Scotland, who is cooking Shetland lamb, a breed that is almost half the size of commercial lambs and the number of producers who are breeding pure Shetland sheep has been in decline for a number of years.

You miss the point. The chicken is chlorinated because of the conditions the birds are kept in which would be illegal in this country. AND the level of food poisoning in US much higher than in UK.

[Restaurant Magazine @RestaurantMagUK]

Edinburgh-based chef restaurateur @TomKitchin says he is deeply concerned about the Scottish hospitality industry, which is expected to re-open for eat-in no early than August. Check out our latest #UnitedWeStand podcast for more @UnileverFS_UK

Bread is an ‘edible agent of mental disease’ ?

Fascinating.

Many wrongfully believe you can out-exercise a bad diet/ eat whatever you want as long as you exercise. While you may burn off the caloric energy you ate, you cannot reverse the inflammatory damage that accumulates with excessive sugar, seed oils, and other garbage ingredients.

[P.D. Mangan Health & Freedom Maximalist 🇺🇸 @Mangan150]

grazing vs fasting
vegan vs meat-eating
margarine vs butter
sun avoidance vs sun exposure
high carb vs low carb

In all cases, health authorities advised the former.

You'd be better off doing the opposite.
