Oh no! It's already come to the point that you cannot do anything in schools and local communities unless you can prove that it will help make people healthier. (The dirty looks I get if I read a story in which a character eats a cake and likes it...!) But now the healthy eating morality is seeping into our science fiction. As well as the sex/jam doughnut thing, we have: eating pizza is BAD because it lets strangers sneak into your high tech secret base; eating Chinese is BAD because it's heartless (I bet she wouldn't have told them they were heartless if they'd been eating crunchy lettuce leaves); drinking beer is BAD because someone might have spiked it. And how did Captain Jack know she was going to eat lasagne at the end...? It's obviously Killer Lasagne of Doom, laced with high fat cheese and alien drugs.

So there we have it. Torchwood isn't about Captain Jack. It isn't about aliens. It isn't about crime or mysteries. It's a government proganda film about healthy eating.
