I have lived since 1973. Now in 2020 a new period has been created. The virus years. How long will it last? Will it be years or months? Is this the course set now for the remainder of my own years? Is this it?
Meanwhile there is talk of a second wave beginning. Of course there was always that talk. People travelling on holidays for jolly days abroad seems ridiculous to me. Why on earth where we letting on essential travel happen? It's not as if people couldn't holiday in Britain. Why risk it?
Once again: big business. The airlines spoke. The holiday industry spoke. It's the same old story. We will never, it seems, shift our society away from this toxicity. It's killing us. This isn't about the fun police, nor is about restricting people completely. Surely there are alternatives to trips to the Costa Del Lager for people who want a vacation. I have no problem with people having a holiday, never have. But do you really think Big Dave's stag crew or Shazza's Hen Party are going to quarantine on return? Is it even going to be enforced? Of course not, how can that happen (Vietnam managed it months ago). Will returning sojourners be tested by our "world beating" systems?
We here in the west seem very good at causing not solving problems. Now it appears a fucking cat has the disease!
Each night the world encroaches on my dreams. If I have ever caught this disease then it has taken up residence in my subconsciousness, filtering through in fever. Sleep is difficult and troubled. This period threatens no end. Adjustment requires that which our government refuses to give us.
Now they are telling us all not to be obese because the idiot in power went and made himself sick. How this is revelatory eludes me. Obesity has long been a marker for ill health. Your metabolism is broken which means your body is fundamentally compromised. I don't believe in fat shaming, but our sugar-saturated society refuses to see reason and accept the reality. We are governed by big business; sugar pushers take over the discourse. It's no wonder people think having a processed meal cooked in industrial processed grease instead of real natural fats and served with sugars and carbs is a treat. This is perverse thinking. That people need a break from eating properly because doing so is intolerable. The truth is what people are taught comprises eating properly isn't. They call it 'rabbit food' and they are correct. But this isn't healthy. Eat real food: good healthy meat and fat with some leafy green fresh (as far as possible) veg on the side.
Instead the idiot government is informed not by actual science, but by junk food science. We must cut out not just sugar but fat and salt. Hang on, what does that leave? Everything comprises some of the three macro nutrients: carbs, protein and fat. You can't do without both carb and fat, you'll starve. Fat is better than carbs, it produces stable consistent energy. Carbs just become sugar, that's all they are. A diet high in carbs leads to energy and sugar crashes. That's what happened to me. Eating whole foods and having hypoglycemic episodes and getting obese.
But will our government be brave enough to reject sugars and starches in favour of good quality food. Look at a cut of meat, it has protein and fat. This is natural. Carbs come from some veg, you can have some. But the body crashing amounts we eat now are not natural. Processed wheat, refined breads and cereals are unnatural and unhealthy. Eat what you like, be happy, but just look to nature, look how food occurs before it's subject to human influence. The rest takes care of itself. We don't need government meddling in food, that will lead to nothing good.
PS here's your Rishs Sunak meal voucher, have a happy meal on us!
