I WAS leafing through some newspapers yesterday over a lunchtime sandwich at my keyboard – and yes, I know that's a disgusting habit, in the words of Health minister Anna Soubry, but I honestly couldn't be bothered going out into all that late-January wind and rain on Sauchiehall Street – when I came across an article about diets.

Normally, I give such articles the bodyswerve, if only because every week seems to cough up a faddish new diet. This article was about the alkaline diet plan: vegetable and soyabean hotpot for dinner, beetroot and walnut dip with raw flax seed crackers as a snack, that sort of thing. Under "lunch" it suggested sweetcorn and broad bean fritters with a feta, cucumber and spinach salad, and I idly wondered what sort of mess that would leave my keyboard in. For good measure, an adjacent article dwelt on a diet that involves fasting for a couple of days a week. It goes without saying that both this approach, and the alkaline diet, have lots of celebs amongst their adherents.
