You Don't Need a Fork to Eat a Burger

In the news this week was a report that household shops have seen a decline in the number of table knives sold compared to the number of forks. In years gone by, the British people would always buy their cutlery in a pair, and knife and fork. Table manners stated that you must use both a knife and a fork, the fork being held in the left hand, no elbows on tables please. This was all very proper, and symbolised everything that was great about Great Britain. However, the shocking fact is, in the 21st Century, us Brits are snubbing the knife, and making do with just a fork. And to make matters worse, some people have been spotted holding the fork IN THEIR RIGHT HAND!!!! As more people eat ready meals, stews, curries, stirfrys and pasta dishes, we no longer need a knife. Also, when sitting on a sofa with a plate of food in your hand, only one item of cutlery can be wielded at any one time. And it is not proper to put your knife in your mouth. Ed Watson, spokesperson for Retailer Debenhams was the one that kindly pointed out to us how barbaric we have become. "Bad table manners can turn an enjoyable meal into an embarrassment. Using both a knife and a fork to eat has held this country in good stead for centuries – it's one of the mainstays of being British. It's all about maintaining standards, so we want to act now before the single fork habit becomes ingrained in the next generation." Ed Watson, a true Brit. Funny, as the people of England, sorry Britain, are always asking "who are we? have we lost our identity?". It seems that we always had an identity, we just forgot what it was. It was holding 2 pieces of Sheffield steel while eating our pork chops. Anyway, do we care? No. Of course not. Because you do not need either knife or fork to eat a burger.

Juicing for Health - aka Jordan's Juice Diet

Some people would say there is more to life than burgers. However, I disagree. Everything else is merely an accompaniment to a good burger. And this is certainly the case for juicing. Juicing is a great way to consume those much needed "5 a day", and it is also good for us. Some celebs even use it to lose weight. In fact, the British model Michelle Bass has recently lost weight after going on “Jordan’s Juicing Diet”. The diet was actually invented by Jason Vale (the Juice Master), who has published many books on the subject of juicing. The diet seems to be very simple indeed. Jordan (Katie Price) went on the diet after piling on the pounds after her son Junior was born. UK juicing expert Jason Vale told Closer magazine, “it’s great that celebs like Michelle are having such great success on the programme, it is the easiest way to lose weight but importantly furnish your body with live nutrients giving you high energy levels and allowing your body to repair, detox and clear out some of the junk in your system.” Juicing diets have been around for a while now and then Jason Vale expanded on this success with a range of books detail every aspect of juicing. Juicing is simple, and the drinks taste so much better than anything bought in the supermarket. Fresh juice is not only good for you, but it tastes great. Jason Vale’s success has now spread over to America, with Vale-fanatics Sarah Jessica Parker and Drew Barrymore by turning to him and his methods to control their weight. The easiest way to learn about juicing is to buy one of Jason Vale's books.
