Today bring news that junk food companies have perfect the ingredients of their fast foods to trip a ‘bliss point’ which get us to eat more even when we are full. We eat it but we don’t know what the chemicals and ingredients are doing to us. Its just like cigarettes all over again. And there will be plenty of places to buy all the jink as the supermarkets use the property price crash to buy up land for future development. Meanwhile the politicians merely tamper with the symptoms of over spending as they try and slow down the rate at which we get into cred card debt. Unless we understand why we buy 
and how we are being sold to then it will have little if any impact. I’m off to Sweden for a two day political festival in Visby. Ill try to blog from there and have an insight into Swedish shopping.
