The Bible mentions beef over 130 times. Lamb nearly 100. Milk and butter, dozens. Vegetables scrape into double figures, and only just. The fattened calf was killed for the prodigal son's return. Not the fattened lentil. The promised land flowed with milk and honey. Not oat drink and agave nectar. Abraham fed his three divine visitors a tender calf, butter and milk. Not a chickpea bowl, and he didn't check for intolerances first. Passover has turned on a roasted lamb for four thousand years. Not once has anyone proposed a roasted parsnip for the flexitarians. Whoever drew the food pyramid clearly hadn't read the source material.

Feta has a legal recipe. To carry the name in EU law it must be at least 70% sheep milk, the rest goat. Cow milk is not permitted. Specifically, pointedly, not cow. There is a reason written into the land. A cow does not last on the limestone hills of mainland Greece. Too steep, too little grazing, summers too dry. Stand one on a Greek slope in August and it looks at you like an animal filing a complaint. Sheep take the gradient. Goats take the scrub. Between them they turn a hillside that grows almost nothing a human can eat into the protein and fat of a whole civilisation. And the milk is not a lesser substitute. Sheep milk runs about 5.4 grams of protein per 100 against cow's 3.2. Roughly a third more calcium. Double the fat. All A2 casein, none of the A1 that half the country blames for a bloated gut, in smaller globules the body breaks down faster. The "Mediterranean diet" on the supermarket shelf is olive oil and tomatoes. The real one was sheep, goat, bread and the odd fish. The oil was a condiment. The cheese was the meal. The animals that made it lived on land that fed no one else.

Testosterone is made from cholesterol. Oestrogen is made from cholesterol. Cortisol is made from cholesterol. Vitamin D is made from cholesterol. The bile acids that digest your dinner are made from cholesterol. Progesterone, which holds a pregnancy together, is made from cholesterol. Every cell membrane in your body is built with it. Every nerve is insulated by myelin, which is mostly it. Every memory you form needs it to build the synapse that keeps the memory. Your brain is sixty percent fat, most of it cholesterol. Breast milk is loaded with it, because no infant brain grows without it. Handed the job of designing the first food a human ever eats, nature put cholesterol at the heart of it. Eat less, and the liver makes more. Because the body will not run without it. In 1977, we declared war on it. Male testosterone has fallen ever since. Vitamin D deficiency went from rare to routine. One adult in three over fifty now takes a daily pill to strip out the one thing every cell above is fighting to keep. The war is going beautifully.

People will hate me for this, but you can order a perfectly healthy meal at McDonald's. 100% beef, seared in its own fat, not a drop of seed oil in sight. And five other chains do the same. - McDonald's: clamshell grill, salt and pepper only. - Burger King: gas flame broiler, no pan. - Shake Shack: flat top, no grease on the plate. - Wendy's: clamshell grill, same principle. - Steak n Shake: flat top, smashed to order. - Carl's Jr: charbroiled over gas. The oil is in the fries, the bun and the mayonnaise. All three optional. Take them off and you are left with ruminant meat, seared hard, with dairy on it. The exact plate you would pay thirty quid for if a man in an apron carried it over on a board. Half of you would sooner drive forty more miles hungry than be seen holding it. The arches are not an ingredient.

Delhi: BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj says, "I am standing in support of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. This is a transformative amendment. Its necessity is not only evident, but it is also the demand of the present time. Bringing this amendment is proof of the sensitivity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his committed government. Speaker Sir, when a competitive examination is compromised, its impact is not limited to the candidate whose future is put at stake..." (Source: Sansad TV)
