Tnx.  DH is reading Chris van Tulekan's book about how we have been drawn into ultra processed foods.  Apparently in the UK cake is VAT excempt, other crisps etc. aren't  ::).  Most crisps are reconstituted from potatoes ......... some are so full of 'additives' that they melt in the mouth so fast that we crave more and ignore the full-up signs as the gut can't keep up  :o ....... the book is too complex and scientific for me to follow, however, DH is loving it .  ;D

Any1 understand the expression 'plush worker' ?  I'm reading a book about a family in the weaving industry in Oxfordshire and 'plush' is mentioned.  The nearest I can find is a type of velvet. 

Chris' book has covered lots of ways that the food industry entices buyers to become addicted to foods by denying the gut what it expects: by putting in sugar substitutes which the body wants to use, but doesn't get the 'hit' that it expects, the person then eats something sugary to satisfy the expectations = weight gain.
