Blaming food
Lots of stuff in the news over the past few days about how bad nutrition is responsible for everything. Bit of an exaggeration there, but not far off. Magical fish oil tablets will apparently solve all of our problems. Nice to have something new to blame when we act like arseholes.
Yes, alright, I'm sure there's some truth in it. On the other hand here's a simple thought: we blame all sorts of things for our behavious, but can anyone else see all of this stuff rapidly eroding the concept of free will? Soon we'll be allowed to act like shits because its not our fault. It'll be the fault of our environment, or our family, or genes or whatever else you want to name.
Surely when we have an impulse we can choose whether or not to act on it? Just because you feel hyperactive or disruptive doesn't mean you have to act it. Maybe we should be teaching self control rather thab good nutrition, less likely to break down if we miss a meal. Speaking of which, food beckons.

have you heard about the overweight over here are suing McDonalds for making them fat? Hmmm, how come I have never had the pleasure of walking into a force feeding McDonalds???? Now that would be a sight to see!!
I heard about it, but kinda hoed it was an urban myth. Can't be their own fault that they're fat greedy slobs though.
