"There is an epigenetic impact of the diet that your parents or grandparents were exposed to. Now we can easily find scientific explanations for this - we just haven't proved it yet.""


Here in lies the answer of why when you go abroad to Spain, Italy, etc the majority of the women have fantastic figures...generations of good diet.

Glasgow did a good job in the 60s of eradicting most of the slums and the slum-dwellers along with them.

But more is needed. Glasgow needs to start demolishing those seedy areas, like dennistoun, the south side of the river, etc, and then encouraging developers to gentrify those areas.

A strong program of eradication and gentrification. Particularly with a focus of eradicating those newer people who have moved to Glasgow from far away in recent years and live in poverty, scrounging benefits, and robbing people.

How would you propose they go about 'eradicating those newer people' exactly?

I think Glasgow would be so much better if the green areas were as free from litter as much as possible as rubbish can stay in an area for quite some time.

Sometimes I do clear any debris where my sister stays.. 10 black bag fulls normally does the job..
