I once visited his house but he wasn’t in. Tree was still there though.

The removal men appear to have removed my track pump even though I put with the stuff not to go. I guess this means I will to buy another to go with other two.

I think they've upped the water content in Flora ('new spreadable recipe'), so it's now horrible on hot toast, as it just goes soggy. Will have to search for another butter alternative (cholesterol, and all that).

Using Flora in the first place is a grave error of judgement.

I'm open to better options... I'd much rather eat butter, but feel I must at least make a token effort to follow the GP's nudge...

All fats are bad, and all fats are better than all other fats. But you can't have no fats. Or all fats of any one type, particularly the bad ones.
Lurpack mix veggie oil and butter to make something that doesn't require a chisel. Because that's basically a mix of butter and margarine, from a fats perspective, it's either ideal or absolutely the worst thing possible.
Hope that helps.

President spreadable is the best compromise I've found...
But maybe it's best not to ponder too hard on how they've made a 100 percent dairy spreadable butter.

I think fats in general are no longer on the naughty step. UPFs and refined carbs, and causes of chronic inflammation are the current baddies. Go back to eating butter. If it was that dangerous you'd be up to your knees in dead French people in the summer...

The fat stuff usually holds the good stuff - certainly the case in diary. Maybe less so very refined oils you get in nutella and whatnot.
But then, what are you doing scooping nutella straight from the pot into your mouth at 4am to keep the sugar cravings at bay becasue the little one is keeping you up night after night and you get so hungry - ah just me.

Read about ultra processed food and eat butter.

Add cream and mix it together.

I think you need to be more British and less Dutch sometimes, because I'm not sure the Dutch are as good at being facetious as us Brits.

Life is short, so just eat the type of fat that makes you happy

Mmmmmm Dripping on toast.

This. Just use less if you feel guilty, it will still taste better.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

My holiday reading included Ultra Processed People, Metabolical, and The Clot Thickens. I'm a curious biologist, so I'm interested in this stuff.
It will come as no surprise to hear these authors suggest we should be eating a varied diet, freshly prepared from basic ingredients, meat and fish, lots of plants, fermented foods, lower carbs, don't worry about fats. Avoid ultra processed foods
Avoid / reduce stress, don't smoke, don't get fat round your middle, pay attention to blood pressure.
Cholesterol's role in atherogenesis and hence CVD may well be completely wrong, but pharma make so much from statins and the like, dissenting voices and alternative theories get drowned out

Isn’t Flora another form of plastic.

I mean he does divide the whole of physics between the stuff that works the way he described and the stuff that isn't, so he's doing OK.
Leaving out Euler is pretty outrageous when he's in the syllabus.

I've never heard anything negative about Newton's scientific work. What are you referencing? They did include Einstein, so it wasn't as if they could have naively dismissed Newton's work as physics.
He clearly had some personal issues and wasn't particularly pleasant to many people.

I thought it was just a pun about newtonian vs non newtonian

It was just a reference to Newtonian and non-Newtonian physics.
He does seem to have had a weakness for hocus pocus, though. I believe he was into alchemy and astrology.

Do you mean fluids? Or relativity?
I think it is understandable that he spent so much time researching religion and alchemy. He even questioned the linearity of time. That's completely mind blowing to me.

It was a smart-arse comment, so best not to analyse it too deeply. I don't think his impact is in question outside of a few loons.

I don't think "non-Newtonian physics" is a thing.

Why is there no Choco Newton biscuit and is this a continental retaliation for claiming the credit for calculus?

I preferred you when you were overly earnest. This flippancy doesn't suit you.
