Let Them Eat Cake to keep well

I am staggered. Absolutely blown down. I have always subscribed to the view that you needed to eat at least five fruit or vegetables a day, eat low fat meat or none at all. Regular aerobic exercise and maintaining you height in proportion to you weight is also vital to longevity and good health. But new scientific research conducted on no less that 20,000 Britons aged between 18 and 90 has concluded that all our healthy eating, regular exercise and weight management is not only unnecessary, but positively life threatening!! One of the UK's leading nutritionists, Professor Paul Thuroth-erwon, at the University of EtonDrinque in Berkshire ran this huge study together with colleagues at the Brigadoon School of Nutrition in Scotland over a five year period. The sample groups were divided equally into two. Half led the conventional "healthy" life and the other half did no appreciable exercise, consumed high calorific foods, men swallowing not less than 4,000 calories per day and women 3,000 per day. The "unhealthy" group were not permitted to consume more than one fruit or one vegetable a day throughout the study period. Each study member maintained a detailed diary over the study period recording their food intake and exercise regime. Each month every group member was weighed and received a detailed cardio vascular examination. During the five year period, no fewer that eight hundred and seventy three of the "unhealthy" group actually died. But a further one thousand five hundred and twenty one of the "healthy" group died also. Several of the "healthy" group died whilst jogging or taking part in other exercise. Of the "unhealthy" group, virtually all who died were over the age of 75 and died of age related disease. This contrasted sharply with the "healthy" group, where those that died were predominantly in their 40s. The Brigadoon Director of Sports Science, Sucha Legge-Pullar said that she was satisfied that as a result of this study she would have to recommend to the British Government the immediate cessation of the British Football, Rugby and Cricket Leagues. Colleagues at the State Department in the US are also considering urging US universities to withdraw spots scholarships. Seems fat is friendly. What do you think?
