Health messages in dodgy new proverbs
The plan was good, it was the execution that let him down. A Toronto researcher came up with the idea of spreading positive health messages by creating new proverbs. Unfortunately the ones he came up with are mostly a bit dodgy.
One was: “A tri-colour meal is
a good deal.” Call me a cynic but I just can’t see it catching on. I’m sticking
with Seneca’s dictum: “To wish to be well is a part of becoming well.” But I’m
not claiming the kids will be chanting it by next week.
