It's good for us!

Well those people who are appointed to decide what is, and, what isn't good for us have done it again, we must eat five a day, is no more, and now we must eat seven a day of fruit and veg, WOW. I have to confess that for myself, I eat stuff cos It's what I like, and if I decide to have fish and chips for dinner, with hp all over the chips, and a little mayo for the fish, then no amount of pontificating from those above, is going to change my wicked ways. No I didn't have fish and chips for dinner tonight, I had steak pie and  chips. Now I need to go and get me a cuppa and a slice of Battenburg!

Also the soaring price of fruit & veg is crippling people who are already struggling to afford to shop!

I remember  going to the docs for a check up and remembered the nurse pulling me up a couple/few years earlier about how much I drank and that 14 units were my weekly allowance 
So next time I was ready 
 nurse asked about my achol intake so I said 11 glasses per week 
And then she told me to cut down after we talked about units etc.
So they alter the goal posts if not alhcol fruit and veg

I must say that I struggle to eat 5 units of fruit and veg each day in the winter, not sure how I will manage 7.  I will give it a go though, just roll on Summer when its salad time.

We grow our own fruit and veggies, so its not as expensive for us.

Used to grow my own Cheryl but there was no-one to water them when I was away - and they always seemed to be ready in the middle of my main holiday- so changed to grass!

Well my fruit in take is in my wine 

I wonder if they do vegetable wine?

Try using potatoes polly...moonshine   

Potcheen, my Uncle used to brew that in his garden shed and it was pure alcohol and would blow your socks off.
