I am not sure if anyone else has noticed but there seems to be an extraordinarily large amount of reports coming out of everyone’s least favourite Quango; the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (N.I.C.E.) Last week they were suggesting Sex Education for 5 Year olds and today they have published a report stating that if everyone eats food that is lower in Fat and Salt they would be healthier. I assume that next week we will get the shock announcement that Walking is good for you, or that putting your head in the oven is not a good idea.

I am afraid that this looks to me like a Quango trying desperately to justify their own existence ahead of today’s budget.
