Oh Lardy!

A study has shown that even reasonably seemingly healthy folk show subtly impaired brain function (they score less well on memory tests) after only a week on a typical 'western' high fat/ high sugar diet (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/feb/19/researchers-find-a-western-style-diet-can-impair-brain-function). Even worse, the food makes them crave more of the same, increasing the probability of over-eating. Looks like a recipe for disaster!
