My girlfriends and I have a Whatsapp group, whereby around 50% of the conversations involve them laughing at my “crunchy, new age” ways – in a totally supportive way, I might add.

June 7, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

By Removing Sugary Drinks From Hospital Shops We Are Simply Masking A Bigger Problem

May 13, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Here they are again, this government of ours, rambling on about increasing tax on sugary drinks and removing them from hospital shops. Don’t they realise they’ve missed the point?
