-Nearly everybody I know seems to be obsessed with their diet, what they eat, they spend a
lot of time jogging, running about, doing a few exercises, all in an effort to make themselves
slim. What do you think about it?
-I think they have the right to be concerned nowadays, really, because there's so much junk
food marketed to us, and so little time in which to cook healthy food -yes -that I think, yes,
people have the right to be concerned about their health - because how much time does the
average person spend exercising? Not very much because they don't have time to, their life is
very pressurised.
-Yes, I suppose so, it just seems to be an obsession, it seems to me it can become an obsession
-everybody has to be terribly thin and terribly fit.
-Yes, I can see there's a lot of pressure especially on young women, to follow fashion and to
look like models. Yes, certainly in the Royal family the example of Princess Diana comes to
mind.
-Yes, it certainly does.
-And I think perhaps she has had some responsibility for... for propagating an image that
every girl should be very slim.
-I see, so you think they're all "copy cats".
-Yes, I think that people want it because she was so beautiful.
-Yes, not only the desire to look good but the desire to be healthy as well, I think.
That's kind of infectious.
-And do you think that we eat too much junk food?
-Yes, I think we do, especially children. When you think of McDonald's, one
famous institution, and you think of how much fuss is made of McDonald's, all it is is a
Hamburger, a piece of meat between two pieces of bread.
-Yes, yes.
-And there are thousands of these restaurants, so-called restaurants. I can't see anything
remotely resembling a restaurant in McDonald's.
- . but think of the worldwide popularity of McDonald's.
-It's all about a hamburger.
-And eating off cardboard and sitting surrounded by bits of paper.
-Yes, yes it's terribly uncivilised.
-It certainly is. I think so, too. Although I admit that I go there.
-Oh, you too?
-Yes, yes, I'm afraid so.
