An excellent program on the whole for the lay man
I'd go along with that. Though funnily enough my mum has just phoned.
I think there's a layman, a lay layman, a lay lay layman, and then there's my mum. Actually that's a terrible thing to say, she can do mental feats that I can't get my head around, but people's minds seem to be wired for different things. If you combine numbers and scientific terms, her eyes glaze over.
Her: "Did you see that documentary on BBC one last night?"
Me: "The one about carbs?"
Her: "Yes. I didn't understand a word of it. He was talking too fast. He was going on about things like insulin and stuff."
Me: "Yes, it was all about keeping carbs low. That's the diet we've been getting you to follow for months."
Her: "Yes, I know. That's why I mentioned it. But I didn't understand any of it."
Me: "Well, you could ignore the detail and just think of the overview: A bunch of people reduced their carb intake for a short time and got healthier."
Her: "Hmmmm.... Well......"
She didn't sound convinced. Still, good on her, she's sticking to it.
