The BBC is reporting that the price of wheat is going up, due to the bad weather.
Do I care?
Not really! As wheat and its dreaded gluten are a poison to me.

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

The price of wheat this year will effect everyone…..not just those who eat it directly…and those who dont…will still be effected…
Wheat is used to feed chickens…pushing prices of eggs up…raising food prices…etc.
Just because you think you are exempted…you wont be…watch what happens…

Lots of pictures of old Sheffield from the air in the 1920s.

I dont care for me either. But I do care that it is making a staple food, bread, more expensive for very poor families. Wholewheat toast with some marmite on it is decent breakfast for kids who hate cereal, and cheaper and healthier than the awful chocolate flavoured cereal so many kids have.

look at all the sugar, and no fruit or anything. And almost no fibre. Very unhealthy. Incidentally, have you tried the “9 Bar” from Waitrose, although I think others supermarkets have them too. They are nuts and seeds, and honey and sometimes carob, they are very nice, and release the energy very slowly, which is great for me for sustained exercise in gym/pool. They do have a lot of sugar but the seeds etc slow down the release apparently. They dont spike my bloodsugars at all.

I eat the EatNatural museli with vine fruit, with yoghurt and honey.
EatNakd have also brought out some odd snacks. They’re in all the littleWaitroses.

I have the Nairns GF oats which I make into porridge, or the Nairns GF muesli, very nice they are too.
