No Oranges were hurt in the making of this video, apart from those with delicate feelings.
The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
The maths is enough to give anyone the ****s
That's apPROXIMAtely correct
This from the Daily Telegraph:
Bear Grylls has said he is “embarrassed” by his past support of veganism, and regrets writing a green cookbook in which he criticised meat eaters.
The adventurer, whose diet is now mostly composed of red meat and organs, has claimed he was wrong to think that eating a plant-based diet was good for the environment and his health.
“I was vegan quite a few years ago – in fact, I wrote a vegan cookbook - and I feel a bit embarrassed because I really promoted that,” the 48-year-old said in an interview with PA.
“I thought that was good for the environment and I thought it was good for my health. And through time and experience and knowledge and study, I realised I was wrong on both counts.”
The television star published a cookbook in 2015 called Fuel for Life, which promoted achieving “maximum health with amazing dairy, wheat and sugar-free recipes”.
He wrote in the book: "To satisfy our insatiable appetite for meat we have developed very unnatural ways of breeding, keeping and killing animals. This far exceeds our nutritional needs for the health of myself and my family."
Quite the U-turn
But the father-of-three has made quite the U-turn since then, and now completely avoids vegetables as part of his “ancestral way of living”.
“For a long time, I’d been eating so many vegetables thinking it was doing me good, but just never felt like it had given me any good nutrients compared to the nutrient density I get from basically blood or bone marrow – red meat,” he said.
“I’ve tried to listen to my body more, tried to listen to nature, and I don’t miss vegetables at all. I don’t go near them and I’ve never felt stronger, my skin’s never been better, and my gut’s never been better.”
And despite his once proud advocacy of veganism - he reportedly used to turn his nose up when his filming crew were eating sausages for lunch - Grylls says that embracing red meat and organs has been the “biggest game-changer” for his health.
“I’ve found a counterculture way of living, of embracing red meat and organs – natural food just like our millennia of ancestors would have eaten for hundreds of thousands of years.
“And out of all the different things I do for my health, I think that’s probably been the biggest game-changer, in the sense of improving my vitality, wellbeing, strength, skin and gut.
“It’s just been getting away from the processed stuff and making the predominant thing in my diet red meat and liver and the natural stuff – fruit, honey, that sort of thing. It’s just about finding a more ancestral way of living,” he said.

I like munching on an organ as much as the next man (so to speak), but I couldn't eat a whole one. I find the pipes and stops a bit difficult to digest.
Sounds like he has no sense of balance in his life, does everything to the extreme. I’d prefer to take the advice of a dietician and go for a balanced diet of fruit, veg, white meat and copious amounts of beer (there has to be some dietician out there that would back up the last part, surely).
Your mistake is choosing an expert in the wrong field.
You should base your lifestyle on expert economists, who would favour excess smoking and drinking and other similar health choices as they bring in taxes and reduce the burden on pension pots due to the shorter life expectancy.
Oh, and before anyone suggests it, its tongue in cheek anyway, but there are plenty of figures showing the taxes drawn exceed the related NHS expenditure, and if you can't find them, I'll make some up.
Someone in brid making extra strong flares no doubt….

Two girls on the checkout at Tesco.
One says 'you can always tell a married man from a single man'.
'How do you do that then' says the other.
'Watch this' says the first.
Fella comes up, he's got a slice of bacon, a sausage, an egg and a tin of beans.
'You're a single fella aren't you?' she says.
'Yes, how do you know that?' he replies.
'Cos you're a right ugly ****'.

To be fair I actually saw this happening at the time and it looked really weird. There was a red light zooming away and moments later a blinking red light following the same course. Could have been two jets possibly? But at the time I thought it was very bizarre. Only went to look because of the sheer noise it was all kicking out.
