This flour “enrichment” malarkey currently in the UK.
Here’s a map/list showing countries currently adding stuff.

Back in the 1970s I remember announcements from HM gubermint exhorting women who were planning to become pregnant or currently pregnant to take a folic acid supplement to avoid the possibility of their babies being born with spina bifida.
Look at the map above and join some dots if you will. Which demographic in the UK has the most kids now?
Is this the reason for the rush to adulterate flour and all its iterations?
🤔

“ In his book Collapse, Jared Diamond studied a dozen societies across thousands of years, from the Maya to the Vikings, to answer one question: why do great civilizations fall? What he found wasn’t drought, war or bad luck. None of those were ever enough on their own. The one thing present in every collapse was how the people at the top responded to what was happening below them.
The warning sign he found again and again was leaders who were completely insulated from the pain of ordinary people. When the powerful never feel the consequences, they stop seeing the problem, and when they stop seeing it, they stop fixing it. The Maya kings kept enriching themselves and building monuments while the farmers who fed them went hungry. Their civilization didn’t fall because of one bad year. It fell because the people in charge had stopped living in the same world as everyone else.
Diamond called them “distant managers.” They are the people in power who live so far from the damage that they are the last to understand how bad it has gotten. By the time they notice, the fields are already empty.
His most important finding was that collapse is a choice. Every society that fell had leaders who could have changed course and chose not to. The question for us is whether we will keep letting people who can’t see us make that choice for us.“
