Simply bananas

hoW do you waste £630,000? Give it to academics to carry out a threeyear study to investigate whether putting broccoli, apples and bananas near the front of supermarkets boost sales of healthy food (Mail).

here is some advice for the idiotic researchers: nearly every supermarket has fresh fruit and veg in the first aisle, so it is already the first thing you come across.

Should i send the department of health and Social Care my bank details to reward me for this advice?

Why does this study only involve 1,620 women aged 18 to 45? don’t men count? it’s sexism and ageism at its worst.

by the way, water still puts out fire, so that’s another academic study that won’t need funding.
