TV chef bullied
Arguing that TV chef Delia Smith's recipes are "loaded with salt," Dr. Graham MacGregor and his Consensus Action on Salt and Health have attacked them as unheathy. MacGregor's crocodile tears flowed as he declared "It's a real pity she seems to be unaware of the dangers of eating too much salt."
What is truly pitful is the easy acceptance of the flawed underlying premise that foods (even diets) "high" in salt -- meaning the diets freely chosen by 6 billion inhabitants of this planet -- are "unhealthy." But don't get us started. See other posts on this blog, the Salt Institute summary or the presidential address at the International Society of Hypertension if you prefer the non-fiction version of this book.
Now's no time for jokes about the taste of British food. Apparently it's not John Bull, but John bullied.
