GUESTLIST 2017 / ISSUE 98 11 Thanks to new security measures being considered by Trump's administration, Brits could now be asked for their phone contacts and financial data. Of course, these measures have come straight off the back of Trump's travel ban affecting Muslim-majority countries. The possibility of requesting social media passwords was first discussed during Obama's administration in 2015, but were thankfully scrapped. Now, however, these measures could very soon be a frightening reality. If these new measures were to be put into place, they would affect some 38 countries including Great Britain. The Wall Street journal has claimed visa applicants may be asked about their 'ideology,' what they think about honour killings, and the 'sanctity of life' Is it really worth entering a country whose government can freely go through all of your private messages? So if this really is about security, what's the point of having a legalisation that means the destruction of privacy? BRITS TO BE FORCED TO HANDOVER PASSWORDS AT US BORDER British tourists coming to the USA may have to give all their social media passwords to US officials upon entering the country. With obesity being at the highest it has ever been in the UK, supermarkets are being encouraged to stop promoting over-eating through multi-buys, and buy one get one free offers throughout stores. The strategy is part of the childhood obesity plan created by the government that calls for tougher rules on junk food. Part of the plan is to also discourage the level of sugary drinks consumed, and praises supermarkets that have already lowered the price of fruit and vegetables, working towards tackling what many critics say is a huge part of the problem. SUPERMARKETS SAY BOGOF TO MULTI-BUY OFFERS After a casual conversation in a Brighton student house I found myself convinced to cut sweets and treats out of my life. A little internet research exposed that it wasn't ridiculous to feel the same way about sugar the way most people feel about cigarettes. In fact, sugar affects the neurological receptors in the brain with opium-like effects. So with a heavy heart I set out on a journey to kick the habit and embark on a 6-week detox: WEEK 1 The first week was agony, as the internet had told me to expect. I quickly realised that food was dull as hell without sugar. WEEK 3 Of course, week 3 was the week I got to attend a children's birthday party. Unfortunately it was thrown by a mummy that was not yet 'yummy mummy' enlightened, and therefore full of sweets. I didn't break but I sure wished I could have been one of the coked up 5 year olds running around punching balloons. WEEK 4 By week 4 I had ate a load of potatoes, and I was able to convince myself that mash was pudding. WEEK 6 I began to feel good, I didn't crave sugar much at all and it didn't make my soul cry when my work did 'Friday Treats', in fact I thought, 'I'm totally in control of my cravings, this is zen, this must be what monks feel like'. As my time came to an end I felt positive about a sugar-free future, and with the UK currently facing an epidemic of type 2 diabetes it is important we start thinking about what we put in our bodies. HOW TO KEEP YOUR LIFE SWEET WITHOUT SUGAR Addiction is a serious issue. Seriously, and during my struggles over the past month and a half there were moments where I would have shivved my mum for a curly wurly.
