(巻三十一)背のびして羽ふるはせてうぐいすの(瀧井孝作)

 

12月8日水曜日

 

房総半島沖に居座っている低気圧のため、雨風が続いている。風が北風なのものだから気温が上がらない。一日中籠ることにした。

口にしてしまひ寒さに囚はれる(山本素竹)

郵便受けまで往復したが、寒い!くしゃみが出た。

今日は一日よく聴いた。

BBC Radio 4 - We Need to Talk About Death, Series 1, Ease My Pain

 

Probably around a third to up to a half possibly aren't receiving ???(1)??? pain killer that will be right for the level of pain with not initiating these types of drugs until too late. Why that is, is a good question. I think strong pain killers like opioid medicines are very good pain relief, potentially, but also have quite important side effects that can be dangerous in the wrong hands. So that I think doctors and nurses are naturally reluctant to initiate or use these kind drugs. The case of ???(2)??? years ago, who is found guilty of murdering patient using strong opioid at home, probably epitomize some anxiety around the using strong opioids. I think it may diminish by now, but I also think there is hesitance, particularly doctors and nurses aren't experience enough in using these drugs. They often withhold these drugs without a good reason.

BBC World Service - The Food Chain, Is Convenience Killing Us?

 

0339

And Jean-Claude Moubarac, I want to start with you ???(1)???. Is that a good example of convenient food? What do you understand by the term?

0347

Well, food processing is a very general term, and I think the example here of dried and salted fish is a good example of an ancient form of processing that was aimed to preserve food or enhance its taste. Making of cheese and bread ???(2)??? cooking meat over fire are part of our human heritage in term of food processing. We know that it has stayed at central role in our evolution since the dawn of humanity. However, today we have a very different type of food processing that is a common. What we call ultra processing, which is very different because, instead of preserving, the industry destroy the food into substances and then use these substances and additives and a lot of sugar, salt and fat to design a product entirely new. That is made to be irresistible, very convenient. And so today convenience becomes a problem because it becomes very easy to over consume ultra processed products that are nutritionally bad for you.
