Supermarket domination?



What's your opinion?




I mean don't get me wrong, I still go to supermarkets for bits and bobs but these billion dollar companies like Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys just seem to be popping up all over the show. Not to mention they are all English!!

Back in the mid 80's there would have been typically a few butchers, fruit and veg and bakeries lined the streets. Now we have very little.
Tesco's opened up a supermarket in Crumlin down the street from my cousin's butcher shop. Thankfully no damage has been done. Tesco's 'meat display' looks something like Lady Ga Ga would wear on a night out . . . needless to say the meat is crap at best. They don't hang the meat to give it maturity or flavour. They pre pack it and fire it out on the shelves and I can guarantee the meat will be as tough as old boots. Anyhow - my rant is over. I urge you to support your local farmers/butchers and tradesmen as Tesco would say . . . "Every little bit helps!"




I mean if that doesn't make you hungry I don't know what will!

BerryFit: Exercise for kids . . .

 I set one of my 1st clients, Morgan Taggart a wee homework on why exercise can be good for kids. So she typed out on her computer a few lines in her own words.
  Might I add, Morgan is coming on leaps and bounds since training. Her confidence has grown, her friends and family have noticed great changes in her appearance AND THIS IS ONLY AFTER 3 WEEKS!
  Up to date Morgan has lost 7.6lbs after only 6 training sessions and following a healthy diet plan I made for her. She has signed up with BerryFit for a 12 week package, training twice a week completely tailored to work around her schedule. She has now realised that only proper nutrition along with correct exercise is the way forward to a happy and successful life ahead . . .

  "Hello, I'm Morgan Taggart and I've been training with Craig and he is the best trainer. He has taught me a lot about diet, nutrition and exercise. He is also teaching me how to play badminton."

  1. Exercise keeps you fit and healthy
  2. Exercise helps you if you want to loose weight
  3. If ou sit all day and do nothing and eat all fatty foods, it can lead to diabetes, strokes, heart conditions and problems with your health
  4. Exercise helps you eat and sleep better
  5. Exercise can make you live longer
  6. Energy drinks such as Lucozade and Powerade are all bad for you and when you're exercising it can dehydrate you so drink water because it is tasty and very good for you
THIS WAS TAKEN ON OUR 1ST DAY - WAIT TILL YOU SEE HER AFTER 12 WEEKS :)
