I remember reading in the newspaper recently that the health authorities
in the United Kingdom were trying (with only limited success) to get the
Scots to eat more vegetables. Apparently the Scots eat the least amount
of vegetables and fruit of any people in the industrial world. Not
surprising thinking of the weather and climate of Scotland. And the
government thinks more vegetables and fruit would increase the Scots
life expectancies.
