Rule Brittania
Once again, the British are off to show the rest of the world how things should be done. http://www.healthcanal.com/public-health-safety/31407-Researchers-win-funding-reduce-salt-intake-for-children-and-their-families-China.html What a wonderful development! Queen Mary’s MacGregor and He are off on a Wolfson-funded expedition to spread the gospel to China. Armed with a heavy dose of paternalistic zeal, they want little more than to teach the natives how life should be lived.
And, of course, we have centuries of history to back them up. Not satisfied with managing their own little isle, the indomitable Brits forcibly enlightened much of world for centuries. Their greatest triumph was India, where their particular manner of influence dominated one of the largest populations in the world. The gratitude of the nation was keenly demonstrated with the humble demise of the Raj.
Unable to learn from history, these tireless anti-salt zealots have now set their sights on even bigger game. It is one of life’s ironies that their broad vision of proselytization is attended by such a myoptic view of the actual medical evidence on salt and health.
Having botched their efforts in the cloudy and chaotic food culture of the UK – this indefatigable duo, pockets stuffed with herbs and tattered stethoscopes held high, will now attempt to demonstrate how life ought to be lived in the largest and one of the oldest cultures in the world.
Rule Brittania!
