SHE may be diminu tive in stature, white haired and 72 years old, but author Amy Carter is also resolutely deter mined to stay slim, fit
and healthy. Now she is sharing her
secret with the rest of the world through the pages of her new "commonsense" book about healthy eating, "The Right Food for Life - The Scientific Way to Be Fit not Fat." Amy’s words of wisdom, however, will provoke the wrath of the dairy industry, the pig farmers and parts of the breakfast cereal indus try. "Clean tummies make
clean bodies" states the Gis- burn writer, arguing that we bathe regularly, brush our teeth, wash our hair and should therefore know how clean the insides of our bod ies are at any given time. Time is of the essence,
she adds, writing that there is a time to eat and a time to desist from eating. "Lacking such knowledge is one of the reasons why fat people, and those who are
comfort eaters, essentially put on weight." And Amy, who has spent
25 years studying the effects of food and drink on herself and her family, has set ideas on the subject of breakfast. The most impor tant meal of the day? Not a bit of it, according to this sprightly Gisburn author. As eating late at night throws the body into confu sion, eating a large break fast first thing in the morn ing would be even worse. In childhood, Amy
reveals that she was very thin, was rarely healthy and in her 50s developed pro gressive high blood pres sure. At the age of 61 she discovered the "Fit for Life" book by Harvey and Mari lyn Diamond and has con tinued her new way of food and drink consumption for the subsequent 11 years. On the subject of fruit,
Amy is quite definite - it should only be eaten on an empty stomach, never with, or shortly after, food and always fresh. " I t is truly incredible what we are doing to our digestive sys tems by continuing to eat fruit as a dessert at the end of almost every meal," she proclaims, castigating the definition of dessert in the English dictionary.
Her views on eating pork
and associated products have already put some local producers and shopkeepers in a spin, but Amy has no regrets. Since the family has stopped eating "all things from the pig" its members have suffered no further ill
nesses, such as gastro enteritis, sore throats, cysti tis, gastric flu or nausea, she claims. There are plenty who would argue with her, but Amy, it seems, is ready and waiting to fight her cor ner! "The Right Food for Life"
Fund-raising goes swimmingly
is Amy’s second book. Her first, "Green Grow the Shamrock," published also by Cremer Press, was an Anglo/Irish historic saga which has received much acclaim. Publishing her second book is, says Amy, an act of
gratitude on her part and she hopes that those who read it will discover better
health. "The Right Food for Life"
is on sale at Kaydee Book shop, Clitheroe, priced £6.99 in soft back and £9.99 hard back.

Nigel Evans, has joined He said that during his
eight years as an MP he had never received a letter from a constituent com plaining about not getting a place at Oxford or Cam
bridge. And he described criti
cism by stand-in Prime Minister John Prescott about the entrance system as "nothing more than envy and a to tal diver
sion". Speaking from Westmin
ster, Mr Evans said: "One of the first things this Govern ment did was to hit all stu dents by introducing tuition
the row over Oxbridge places. fees and scrapping the grant. "The next thing they did
was to abolish the Assisted Places Scheme, which meant that many young sters from disadvantaged backgrounds were unable to go to the public schools solely because the Govern ment cut off the funding. "Labour has also
attacked the very centres of excellence in the state edu cation system by backing plans to abolish grammar schools. "In the eight years that I
have been a Member of Parliament, I have never
received one letter from anybody complaining that they could not go to Oxford and Cambridge. "However, I have received many letters from parents
who feel angry and frustrat ed that their youngsters could not go to a local Rib ble Valley school. "Instead of diverting peo
ple's, attention towards some fabricated class War, which nobody gives a hoot about, the Government should concentrate their efforts on ensuring that there is a good foundation for education for all young people."
