So a family who save up all year for their 2 week holiday in Ibiza are 'rich scum' then!!

What a very weird way of thinking. The sort of thing former owners of festival sites might come up with to justify their strange opinions!!!

Sweeping statements never show the reality - they simply show the lack of understanding of the bigger picture.

Have a look at the textile industry - we all wear clothes don't we!! Even if only 10% of the world fly it is still worse than flying.

You're thinking UK centric. Just from a quick google around 80% of people have never flown. 

Obv by developed country standards you don't need to be rich to fly though, you can get flights for 50 quid or whatever

Gatwick Airport is basically full of rich scum all getting their Easyjet flights.  It's just like shopping at Harrods, hard to tell the difference really.

The distinction is between relative and absolute wealth. By worldwide standards anyone who can fly is pretty well off. Obviously your average person on a ryanair flight isn't rich by UK standards.

Yes and alot of the other stuff on list is essential even for poor people.

For example encouraging someone like Neil who is trying to build his body back up after a stroke to cut back on protein is terrible advice.

I see lots of stuff on reducing meat consumption out there. I'm not saying its impossible to get enough protein from nuts and the like but its far more difficult and I would guess the majority don't have the self discipline. I don't think people realise that falls at relatively young ages i.e pre-retirement age can be as debilitating as any stroke and taking a decent amount of body muscle into your 50's probably has a bigger factor on your quality of life in your 60's and 70's than the size of your actual pension pot.

we need protein, but maybe not the amounts that we currently consume in wealthier developed countries. 

Bring back rationing.

Oh I hear you on the increase on requirement for more protein to maintain muscle. My Dad at 96, 97 soon, told to take more. Full fat milk back on the menu for him. Resistance training as well, feels like young folk might carry that on with the amount I see going to the gym. We can certainly get it from other sources, just not as tasty 😉 

May see an Uptake in protein shakes in the older people, maybe.
