Van Zyl speaks the truth
There’s some nutritional advice being broadcast on the internet. It describes the “stupendous insight of civilisations past” – how they recognised by the shape of fruit and vegetables what was their specific nutritional value.
The message says, quite brazenly, “it has now been confirmed by today’s nutritional sciences that every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ and that this pattern indicates the food’s benefit”.
It is a wonderful example of the amusing rubbish now being exchanged by cyber chatterers.
It says a slice of carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... “and science shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to the eyes”.
A tomato has four chambers and is red. “The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.”
And how about this notice outside a second hand shop: We exchange anything – bicycles, washing machines, etc., Why not bring your wife along and get a wonderful bargain. jcl@onwe.co.za www.jamesclarke.co.za blog://stoeptalk.wordpress.com I AGREE with Brian van Zyl’s comments in his recently published letter in The Mercury. I’ve known Brian since the 1980s and served with him on many committees at Durban Collegians Rugby Club. A more honourable and decent person it would be hard, if not impossible, to find.
The entire episode since the start of John Smit’s reign has been full of errors, starting with the removal of arguably the best coach (John Plumtree) that Natal has had since Ian Mackintosh’s period and finally reaching the heights of stupidity with regard to the projected move to the Moses Mabhiba Stadium.
No, the hierachy at the KZN Rugby Union must pick up the baton and run with it . The chosen replacement for Smit must be a man with sufficient business acumen to turn the union’s fortunes around.
I trust that you understand where I am coming from as I feel sadly that unless steps are taken urgently to recover lost ground we may find ourselves in a similar position to Eastern Province Rugby. Perish the thought.
