Love the facts, makes you think xx
Bleurgh - now there's some food for thought!
Apparently sales of cauliflower are at an all time low at present. What a shame, cauliflower cheese is one of the best comfort foods ever. Another fact for you ... cauliflower is the only vegetable whose nutrition values increase with cooking!

So glad I don't eat salami!
Cauliflower and broccoli cheese with vegetarian hot dogs is a favourite in our house.

I love your notebook posts! This one's quite scary though - glad to hear sugar is as addictive as heroine though as now I have an excuse why I can eat my way through a whole packet of biscuits in one go... Lucy xx PS I must remember to try and live and not just exist.... great quote from Oscar xox

Not sure I ever want to eat again!

Ewghhh! but very interesting nonetheless! Oh, and I agree completely with Oscar! SO true! suzie xxx
oh my --- those facts are a bit scary ..
The only fact I already knew was that sugar is addictive. I gave up eating sugar a few years ago (except for special occasions!) and it was SO difficult.
Oscar's right I guess, but most people in his day were working all the hours God sends in order to get food on the table. What time did they have to do anything else BUT exist? xx
Wowee! I have to say reading through those (interesting) facts made me glad I am a veggie! Haha!
