What's with telly's obsession these days with...

..presenting these mindless experiments testing the effects of diet, lifestyle and now beauty products? They invariably feature a test sample of no more than three subjects and present the results as if they are conclusive evidence. It's irresponsible at the least. Even the BBC are at it.

"We took two girls (one a glamorous playgirl and one well, her mother probably thinks she's pretty) and made the playgirl eat nothing but turnips all week and the other eat a normal diet. At the end of the week the one eating turnips got asked on a date so we can see that eating turnips makes you irresistable to men."

Hmm.
