I listen to my Doctor and every now and again I'll take on board what my friends and family might say, but at the end of the day, I'm a big boy now and if I want to have a beer and a bag of chips I'll have it.
There's always been interfereing old fuckers sticking their noses into other peoples business, but the trick is to just ignore them  |

"Anyone else sick to death of being told how much alcohol to drink, what to eat & what not to eat, it will be when to go to bed soon(to sleep I mean)Nanny state give it a rest  "
I'm with you there, but I absolutely love destroying society's expectations of me, enjoying myself and rubbing it in the Nanny State's face. It wouldn't be any fun if they didn't try to tell me what to do, so I could NOT do it.  |

"This is a fairly doom-monger post but whatever you do you can't cheat death. So live with caution as the nanny state says or enjoy your life its always you choice "
They want people to all reach their pensions and die slowly rather than cost the NHS a drop in the well at any given moment.
Think it's more about coming across as a respectable nation now than to make the countty look like a Leper Colony though lol
But if they really care about us, they'll take the poison out of the processed food and the chlorine out of the drinking water. |

All the what to eat and what not to eat, also alcohol consumption is all just advice for healthy living. It's there, is free so it's the individuals choice if they take it or leave it. Don't get stressed over it just do what you feel is best.
Right I'm off to the pub now for a pint of cider and a pork pie. |

'Nanny state' is a term coined by the media. It doesn't exist. What does exist is propaganda - both positive and negative. And that is nothing new. Remember the old war time assertion that carrots would help you see in the dark? Just so that people would eat more of them for health and because they were more easily obtained - and easy to grow in your back garden or allotment. Dig for Victory anyone? |

Too right, if anything, it's old school terrorism, but the message was lost. That's how they evolved terrorism from war, you know?
An enemy would assimilate themselves into your country and slowly turn the people against their country with seemingly harmless propaganda. By the time the soldiers rolled in, there were few left to argue why! |

my view is eat as healthy as you feal you need to , cut out what you don't think you need ,and hope you you don't fall foul of all thos horrible deseases that are about that will spoil your day, but don't forget to live as that is what live is all about |

Yes - and that's why I'm a proud rebel against it all.  |

If someone wants to drink themselves to death, let them. Same with smoking, eating unhealthily, taking drugs, loading electrical sockets to excess, leaving their chip fryer on etc etc.
If you're an adult you make your own choices. You make a wrong choice in life you live with it and deal with it. |
