I noticed this article on the BBC news site this week
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15569788 apparently up to 4000 lives in Scotland, Wales and N Ireland could be saved if we adopt an English style diet.

Interesting proposition, if I was to choose a becon of light in the health world i would probably gone for something like Japan but apparently not, a full English is just the ticket for a healthy heart.

In saying that it does beg the question what is an English diet, given the lack of impact from the rivers of blood speech its hard to really pinpoint what constitutes the diet south of the border (from Scotland that is).  Afterall it is the home of Balti and chicken tikka masala.

Sounds like someones jealous they never invented the deep  fried mars bar...
