If the Meat Marketing board (is there still this organisation?) Advised us to up our protein and cook with natural animal fats.
What do you think would be the response?
If the dairy industry told us it had found evidence that full fat dairy is good for us!
If the egg industry, whatever! Told us to eat more eggs, Edwina Currie and all would instantly get their knickers in a twist! If the government actually came out and said cereals were really bad for diabetics! (Oh my god!)
Could the farmer's recover from bad news that the grains and fruit that they produce, could be eliminated from our diets. (The world would end!)
Brewery and soft drinks multi nationals, would create their own evidence of the goodness of their products! (Oh yeah, they already do that!)
Could the western world survive?
Would democracy fail?
Could Jamie stop the kids actually eating a sugar free diet, with no chips and plenty of fresh vegetables and fish?
And most importantly, how would Bake Off be viewed?
