I have just seen the advert for "Change 4 (urgh!) Life" with the little brightly-coloured men in it moaning about eating too much fat etc. I presume this is a government initiative, and that they don't want us to be ill-educated as well as fat, so WHY is there a sign in the background that says "sofa's"? Aargh!! Or is it an exercise in social realism? I despair, I really do...

Serves me right for watching Family Fortunes, I suppose

Does nobody care? What is the world coming to?

I care.
I should go with the social realism angle if you want to stay sane ( but you know they're not that clever).

It's so that you'll be prepared for banana's, orange's and apple's when you stumble into the greengrocer's for your healthier food's.

(ps food cannot be healthy but that's a whole other debate)

Hehehe, you may well be right!
