We have cut our fuel consumption drastically by running a Prius and look forward to better vehicles when they are available -- (Toyota are claiming to be launching a hydrogen fuel cell car next year, while Tesla are developing a high performance, highly economical, comparatively reasonably priced electric car with 300mile+ range and sub 30min charge time at a suitable charge station)

The UK has minimal artificial fluoridisation of water at present and our family drinks mainly bottled spring water. We do use toothpaste with added fluoride, but the fluoride content is low and the effects localised to where it is needed

Unlike the US, the UK does not allow the GM lobby to ride roughshod over the wishes of sceptics who don't believe in GM products getting on the supermarket shelves after minimal testing, so hardly any are available in the UK, although the present US/UK/EU trade negotiations going on behind closed doors at the moment endanger our present policy. As I understand it, GM foods are not necessarily not good for us -- it's just that the present testing regime lacks the thoroughness and long term isolation methodology required for ultimate safety

I use sugar happily, but I'm willing to accept that too much would be a bad idea, and corn syrup is used to a dangerous extent by food product manufacturers

Not so true in the UK where there is minimal growth of GM crops except for small experimental plots a while back producing righteous anger from nearby organic farmers. I'm not sure to what extent GM experimental plots still survive in the UK except in isolating polytunnels
