Sadly with age I have had to abandon nearly all starch, as well as 
nearly all vegetables. I have more than one condition kept in check my

Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 
twenty-first century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a

on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer 
projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to 
contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.
