Tasting like soggy glue

There is a lot of worry and concern about childhood obesity.

Fatty food and lack of exercise are the culprits, so it's said.

The solution is simple.

All the politicians and regulators have to do is to ensure that food manufacturers and fast-food people use less salt, less sugar, less fat and less artificial crap.

Don't count your chickens though.

And talking of chickens, in the old days we raised chooks for Christmas ourselves.

Baked, they were lean, dry and tasty.

In today's mass production, the chooks are tortured and force-fed with all kinds of nasty chemicals and growth promoters, so they taste like soggy glue.

Well, that's progress.
