Shooman health stuff
Walking down Leather Lane market the other day I noticed a stall selling drinks, with a tray of wheatgrass on the counter. This is the only place I have ever seen wheatgrass apart from various photos posted by Shooman.
I notice lots of coffee places sell porridge now. I could never eat porridge somebody else had prepared.
What is your view on porridge Shooman? I guess you are not in favour as it requires cooking.

Re: Shooman health stuff
Do you mean 'Daddy Donkey' half way down? There were always queues for that but it usually smells disgusting. I assumed they dealt drugs as a sideline. I tried their burritos once to see what the fuss was -but I was not particularly impressed.
I did like it that the name - 'Daddy Donkey'- used to be situated right opposite an adult bookstore.

I thought it was Vitamin D in the beer here that improved things.
We had free school milk when I was a kid - good lobbying by dairy farmers - it used to sit outside in the sun for hours before we had to drink it gagging on off milk.

Re: Shooman health stuff
oh yeah - post war in UK there were real supply, distribution and nutrition issues. Skinny, puny white an all that. (and it was even worse back then hehe) But here in Oz there was never a food or nutrition deficient. Certainly it was a industry gravy train issue - I come from a dairy farm.

Re: Shooman health stuff
Oh yeah very very different - just look at height charts from those years.
We had shitloads of cheap protein - meat and etc and abundant and cheap food. We used to be the worlds tallest nation for years. Height is strongly correlated to access to good cheap food esp. protein.
And we actually got outside and did things, like play tennis, walk, swim, surf, ...... as opposed to sitting in front of a TV and coin operated gas heater in one small damp room. We didn't even get TV until 1956 or s and then it wasn't ubiquitous.

Re: Shooman health stuff
A free milk ration was introduced into English schools after the Boer War. The need for the British Army to expand during the Boer War showed that many inner city lads who applied to take the Queen's/King's were so poorly in stature that they were rejected for the army, and the requirements in those days weren't that strict.
