I ******* hate that "5 a day" meme. It's so ingrained in our culture now that some of the guys in the client #2 office are obsessed with it, counting up oranges and apples and googling things like Walkers crisps, pork pies, chewing gum and truffles to see if they make the grade.
It's like if they miss the magic five then their intestines are going to explode out of their oxo towers all over the polyamide office carpet.
It's saddening to see grown men manipulated by propaganda.
Eat. Enjoy. Stop worrying. Ignore nonsense.

I heard on QI the other day that 5-a-day in other countries is often much higher than it is in the UK. 10/day or something in France. I still find it hard to accept that it is 5 per day and not per month. Does an apple only count as 1 ffs?

Might have to stock up on speckled hen to sort me out.

The fallout from this thread turned out to be more eventful than anticipated. A missed opportunity! Thanks for making me laugh.
Night all.
See you for tomorrow's weigh in. Hopefully post dumping a pound or two...

Last thing you need is a trip to a restaurant. I was thinking more prune juice.
