RedFox Blog: Eating It Yet ?

Post 829 15/4/21

And now we can return to eat at McDonalds it should be noted where the food comes from. It should by all means use local food sources but sometimes this does not happen. McDonalds is a large company needing large deliveries of food. However in the quantity’s it needs there is no time to source this locally. So! it does ship stuff from its U.S origins. This is not good for our farming industry because we would need the custom seeing that we have now left our biggest market. And that market can produce unwelcome competition.

Food miles are the one thing that the environment can use to cut down on green house gases and yet this big company imports its food increasing food miles. There is nothing wrong with the British food industry. In fact our food industry produces better food standard’s than most countries. And there lies the problem. As our food is much more expensive than the imports that McDonalds and other foreign companies would like to spend on. Therefore they will import rather than pay for the better quality. Its a shame as our food is the best produce.

Its Back To The Gym 16/4/21

Well its now been a week since the reopening of the gyms across the Nation. The gym I go to have opened and I have been this week. The strains of being locked up at home and being isolated has an enormous effect on anyone. And the mental isolation is also very damaging. Gyms do provide and safe haven from this isolation. It may be the only place that you go to in your life. Except of course work. But it is very liberating. It also lets you let out your frustrations and feelings. There is nothing more better than a work out at the gym for improving physical and mental health.

But exercise is good for the body. Improving ones body means that the signs of old age are put t the back burner. Well for now. Many older people are actually encouraged to take up a membership of a gym. In actual fact the is one company that gives special attention to older people. They even have a medical room so that your health and fitness levels are monitored. But this gym group membership is very expensive. They have also a range of hospitals that also cater for the older person. So! going for a workout actually benefits the the older person. Including me.
