And they dismantled what was believed to be the UK's first illegal production facility for these counterfeit, these non-regulated weight loss drugs last October.
And what they were saying about this raid in Birmingham in May was that, you know, they found all these drugs, obviously, and they were just stored in these, obviously, in extremely poor conditions.
So it was like a cluttered residential property.
It was talking about like a chihuahua running around the living room, all around these drugs.
Poor baby.
Yeah.
I know, but like obviously imagine if you're selling, you know, if it's a pharmaceutical company, and I'm not advocating that pharmaceutical companies have their own complications as well, but I'm just saying they are regulated and therefore the way that these drugs are manufactured and stored, it's this highly sterile controlled environment.
Yeah, for sure.
So as I said, I just if you're feeling pressure around all of these things at the moment, just please, please, please don't get them.
unregulated unlicensed like it's a really scary space it really is and I just think when there's so much aesthetic pressure and kind of wellness pressure to be your best and you're seeing I'm seeing certainly all of these articles about peptides I'm seeing all of these very attractive influencers very slim very beautiful amazing face taking all of these drugs I can see why it creates a lot of pressure please don't buy unregulated versions.
actually I love this it kind of leads on from what we were discussing last week and it's getting children to eat their vegetables starts in the womb so it could be what your mother ate in the womb which led to your preference for food today exactly so this was picked up everywhere and I think it's interesting obviously if you have children but it's interesting from a bigger perspective in terms of obviously we have this humongous issue with our collective health generation after generation our health is getting poorer and
And anything therefore we can do to get future generations more excited about eating healthily is incredibly important.
And then obviously lots of the articles talking about like how much you remember as children, your parents or your teachers or kind of adults around you being like, please eat your vegetables.
And obviously, I'm sure all of us have said that to children that we know in our lives.
But there's an interesting piece of research that had just come out using researchers from universities in France, Netherlands, Cambridge and Aston University.
And it was looking about taste preferences and how we can help potentially shape children's taste preferences to enjoy vegetables more.
I know.
I've got to interrupt you there because that's exactly what the researchers were saying was that they initially tried to do it with the juice and pregnant women were like, ew, I'm going to throw that up.
So that's why they moved to capsules.
Yeah, it's so interesting.
