Interesting Facts

Public Health England is considering including foods which have at least one portion of fruit or veg to their 5-a-day recommendation. (This would mean ham and pineapple pizza could count as part of a healthy diet, along with tinned soups and tinned fruit. I wonder if black forest gateau will count. After all, it has cherries in it.)

Sticking to a fruity theme; Harrods are selling cherries at £4.65 a punnet. (Why is this interesting? Well there are only 25 cherries in a punnet you can do the math. That's a whopping £1.65 a cherry. Seemingly the French "Glamour-edoa" cherries, are supposedly the only cherries grown naturally that are ripe enough to eat this early.  That said, my neighbour is picking cherries off his tree as I type.  I wonder if he'll sell me one for a couple of Euros. As the Daily Mail wrote, "That's cherry expensive".) http://www.glamour-edoa.com
