Healthy recession

Growing your own vegetables at home, walking that extra mile to work to save petrol, family days out consisting of playing in the forest or walking the dog instead of shopping trips and resteraunt cost nothing. All products of the recession and what does this amount to… yes what the government have been forcing on us with unfunny Plasticine adverts, health.

Though this is a bit of a controversial point and the Torie Shadow Health secretary was just disciplined for the statement

‘Recession’s good for us – we smoke, eat and drink less’

Yet to me what he was saying made complete sense with the recent focus on people giving up cigarettes for the people who were not so bothered about health the allure of saving money by not buying them was attractive. As well as weekends out drinking going out the window in an attempt to hold on to money a little longer.

Moreover computer games sales are down which means less children are going to be just sat in front of the computer they are forced to go outside and user there imagination as well as energy.
