- So does haggis, and in addition, it is much cheaper, and contains
- sufficient fats and carbohydrates as well to be useable as a complete
- food rather than a supplement. Haggis is an old Scottish health food,
- made from animal ingredients carefully selected to include those which
- the fast-food muscle-meat culture usually throws away, but actually
- are richest in trace elements and vitamins as well as amino acids. It
- also contains oats, a hardy grain long used by the horse-racing
- fraternity to give extra strength and endurance, and a rich source of
- the best kind of anti-cholesterol fibre. This balances the inclusion
- of plenty of suet, which provides the raw materials neccessary for the
- insulation of nervous tissue, lack of which is thought by some to
- contribute to degenerative nervous diseases and over sensitivity of
- the nervous system to electrical fields. It may also have a positive
- contribution to make to brain health, as suggested by a recent UK
- study which showed that there was a correlation between high IQ and
- higher than average consumption of suet.
-
- In the days when haggis formed part of the general staple diet of
- Scotsmen, Scotsmen were so famed for their size and strength that many
- European monarchs kept a personal bodyguard of Scots guards. The
- haggis-eating Scots have also long been famed for their cleverness,
- e.g., the only person who understands the propulsion system of the
- Starship Enterprise is a haggis-eating Scot.
-
- As for "all the wonderful things fit healthy and active people need to
- do", have you ever wondered why Scotsmen developed the kilt rather
- than trousers and underpants? Just think about it...
-
- Eating Royal Jelly turns bees into queens. Is this really what you
- want (sorry sir, no offence intended :-) Eat plenty of haggis and
- become large, frightening, hairy, and clever! (my apologies madam, I
- was just making a general health-food-advertising type of remark,
- nothing personal intended :-)
