Eating organic food will not make you healthier...

Please could you expand on your statement, otherwise it is pretty worthless?

Yes, I have done that but what I am interested in is the view of the poster and the reason for posting it.

The probable reason the poster has posted it is because there is not enough research around to say definitively that organic food is better particularly when "organic" is either not defined in studies or the definition is not comparable from one study to another.

Obviously everyone knows if you eat a lot of processed food you are doing yourself no good particularly as there are case studies that show this.

Thanks, I also do not want to assume I know the views of the poster so will wait for a clarification.

Seriously, read the entire thread, rather than just picking your arguement out of boredom.

I work in central (live in zone 5) earn almost half what you do and still manage to save more than you! Rent seems like a lot if i was earning that much i would definately get a mortgage, you are wasting almost 20k per year combined on rent. My big weakness is spending on food as well epecially lunches, im still too lazy to make packed lunches but have switched to sainsburys from pret!

So you save more than £1194 on earnings around £1700 a month, whilst commuting from zone 5 too 1? Not that I don't believe you but would mind elaborating?

I'm in a similar situation to OP where rent/commute costs leave me with 20%'ish savings despite earning well above London average amounts.

Have read the thread. Seems reasonable enough.
