I AGREE with Julie Holt from Bolton's Community Health Centre ..."every day fitness is essential for good health and a healthy immune system."

However, I strongly disagree with her statement ... "and every shopping basket should include meat and fish"....

I have met thousands of healthy, vibrant, energetic people who NEVER put meat or fish in their baskets.

Research has shown that vegetarians save the National Heath Service thousands of pounds, suffer less bowel cancer, less heart disease, constipation etc etc than meat eaters.

So we don't need animals in our shopping baskets.
