Jamie Oliver is full of **it

Bizzare image from Jamie Oliver's 'Eat to save your life' tv show the other week that is now (god help me) etched into my mind forever:

Getting a member of the audience to bring in a -was it a day or a week's worth of his pooh. Jamie then got staff to wheel in what would be a whole year's worth of pooh for that person, it just filled a single wheel barrow and then compared that with a whole years worth of pooh for someone in some good-forsaken country who purportedly ate a better diet. It nearly filled the large studio.

The gist being that in the developed Western world we're not poohing enough and it's giving us bowel cancer.

So Jamie was basically saying we should be poohing a lot, lot more. I don't think our sewage system - which is already falling apart at the seams - could cope.
