Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

"I love tender stem broccoli and have always assumed that it's the same as regular broccoli - but actually, Professor Berners-Lee says the particular vegetable has a high carbon footprint: "It will have been air freighted in, usually all the way from Kenya," he says."

An obscure quote from M R James that I am posting here purely for the Carry On value:

"soon an odour as of the worst variety of shag stole over the sacred edifice".

He is of course referring to tobacco.

The whole thing is here:

I've only discovered it today. it's of interest to me because my desk is less than 100m from the north side of King's College chapel and the glass is often illuminated by internal light or the sun.

Sugar activates similar (or the same?) neural pathways as addictive substances such as nicotine of cocaine. Should it therefore also be viewed and regulated as an addictive substance? Is it causing an epidemic of fatty liver disease and insomnia as well as diabetes and obesity?

In a running context - all those gels? Bad news? Or might I be missing out on a handy midrace drugs hit by never taking them?

Are fervent anti-sugarists who never touch a morsel of cake cranks? And if such seeing images triggers the same pathways, why don't we just look at pictures of chocolate?

Finally, have I just been reading too many articles from the Telegraph?

A (non-Telegraph) article theconversation.com

I've consumed about 40g of sugar so far today, at breakfast. Nearly all of it was pretty obvious, rather than hidden.

(Have a look at your prepared cooking sauces, if you use them. One Chinese sachet sauce I spotted had 29g if sugar per 100g.)

I often make notes when reading of things that I'd like to come back to later on, perhaps to su...

Hummus recipe:

Proper hummus is served with a drizzle of olive oil, rather than oil being a significant ingredient in its own right. This is what should go in it:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, mashed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• Approximately 2-4 tablespoons room-temperature water or aquafaba, or more if needed
• Optional garnishes: extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, finely chopped parsley or other herbs, whole chickpeas

This particular recipe from thymeandtoast.com but it’s typical of the Middle Eastern way of making it.
