Morning!
Can you believe it?? Yesterday LONDON 2012 unvieled(quietly)its newest major sponser for the games the well known sporty, healthy brand...
CADBURYS CHOCOLATE???
Hmmmmm... once again maybe I'm missing something here, but I didn't realise they premoted healthy lifestyle, diet, competition and sports nutrition. I must be simple, I thought it was chocolate treats marketed at people who struggle to control their diet & health. Who already eat to much rubbish, are too young to know better, oh and to make as much money through as much exposure as possible. A healthy, sporty, 2012 Olympic tag to all its products, well its bound to help brainwash another generation of ever increasing obese people with Olympic ideals??
OLYMPIC IDEALS!
Ancient Greeks and Baron De Coubertain (Founder of the Modern Olympics) I'm sure would be very happy with the way things are going, NOT.
As usual... its to the HIGHEST BIDDER.
I am not niave, I know big sporting events are big business. But the whole idea and point of the Olympics are the Olympic ideals, this is something more. Its why I fully support GB's LIFETIME BAN on DRUG users in sport, when other countries are soft.
Whats next?
MARLBRO CIGARETTES TO BECOME THE NEXT BIG SPONSER OF 2016??
Your havin a Laugh.
Yours in Sport & Speed,

FAT-CARE!
Morning!
Blimey, I sat there eating my porridge and banana and the BBC announced that:
"OBESE CHILDREN IN THE UK ARE TO BE TAKEN OFF THEIR PARENTS AND PLACED INTO CARE"
Finally something extreme to be done about this HUGE probelm and what I have know for years... CHILD ABUSE!
Thats how the goverment is now viewing at it as well, a from of child abuse. "Really, you don't say!" The site of an obese parent stuffing sugary crap into a young child who cannot make their own decisions and at the end of the day is hungry, has never sat well with me. The goverment hasn't helped with its softly, softly approach. Matched with the media of the last few years view: That its ok to be fat and love your body.
Well not if it is a health RISK to you and your children who will look up to you as a role model, end up having the same diet that YOU buy and guess what...
End up OBESE.
Suprise.
Cruel.
This is an unacceptable situation and it had been left so long there was a need for something EXTREME. I just hope it wasn't all talk and now they will actually impose this new legislation.
DONT GET FAT,
GET FIT,
GET FAST, WIN MORE.

SWIMMING & CEREAL!?
Morning all!
I just got passed on a news story from one of my mates in America. Its all about the “GoldenBoy” of Beijing Michael Phelps, his foundation are getting together with Kellogs to promote children being active.
Sounds good, on the surface, but I’m gonna dip below the water on this one!
I’m all for increasing the activity of children as more and more kids become overweight and obese everyday around the world. Children in their early teens ending up in the hospitals with Type two diabetes (used to be an adult only disease!), heart problems & high cholesterol. The worst part!? The majority is all preventable, kids definitely need to get of their butt & get active! The culture is to sit and watch TV, play playstation, Not play outside (as its soo dangerous here now!?) and be slobs by the time they reach puberty. Eating fast food, quick fix dinners and far too much sugar and they know no better!
Enough of my morning rant… back to Phelps & kellogs.
It is quality that Kellogs and Michael want to promote a more active lifestyle, but I have a little issue here, that seems pretty obvious to me.
Number one, he almost publicised that he eats anything and everything, most of it junk to get up to his gut swelling 10,000 calories a day! Bearing in mind that recommended intake for a normal adult male is one fourth that at 2,500! The commercials they are starting to run, show Phelps on the boxes of a whole load of cereals, frosted flakes to rice crispy treats.
I’m guessing “8 Medal Man” doesn’t get into the detail of what his “BoatRace” is plastered on, but call me picky, I don’t think Kellogs have any intention or plan to try and help make our kids more healthy. Surprisingly they want to sell more and more of their big earners, which ARE FULL OF SUGAR & ADDING TO THE PROBLEM!
GOOD WORK KELLOGS, not.
So the story is not quite as it started out, here’s my new headline…
KELLOGS USE OLYMPIC LEGEND TO PROMOTE HIGH SUGAR RUBBISH, MAKE MORE MONEY & DECREASE THE HEALTH OF KIDS THE WORLD OVER.
What’s yours??
I’d love to know your views on this, do you think I’m too harsh or not harsh enough!
