- Human breast milk ice cream on sale in London at £14 a pop. This quote struck me:
A total of 15 women donated milk for the dish. "What could be more natural than fresh, free-range mother's milk in an ice cream?
Actually, if a woman has grown up in an industrialised western country eating industrially prepared food then the chances are that her 'natural, fresh and free-range' milk will already be contaminated with a whole host of metals, hormones and synthetic chemicals. Not that I am suggesting women not to breast-feed but let's not sugar coat the stark reality of how our modern lifestyles and consumption patterns affect our bodies. We are what we eat - in this case, enough preservatives to now keep cadavers in pristine condition some 25 to 40 years after burial. Food for thought indeed.

- British are taking less drugs ... one reason posited in this article is that the main consumers (young people with more time on their hands) have educated themselves over the past 30 years and are now more discerning and less compulsively addicted. Recreational drug use is perhaps finding its own equilibrium in the absence of a mature Government policy. The war on drugs is not being won (alcohol is still the No.1 damaging drug to British society) but perhaps rather that other factors such as price, economic conditions, quality of drug etc are having an impact. Like a child with new toys, the British gorged themselves on anything going until, having grown up a little, the newness or thrill of the toys have begun to gradually wear off. If this continues, Britain should consider moving towards legalisation of all drugs and the implementation of a consistent tax, regulation and criminal code (for offenses committed under the influence).
