So, then let's ask Google, let's ask, you know, you give me ideas about healthy party snacks and how do you do that, okay? I'm not in Google search, I'm in Google images. Can you see the word images there? Yeah, okay. Then I say, low-carbohydrate party food for kids, there you go, and I press the enter button and look, within one second, that took one second, suddenly all these things have have come out and this is a book you can go and buy and there's another book and various things and, and pictures come up. I like pictures because I relate to them. And if you made these and put them out, I guess kids would love to come and they would grab one of these and start enjoying it. And you'd make sure that this little may whatever this is mayonnaise or whatever, that is tasty, you want to make sure that that's tasty. Yeah. And so, you know, you've achieved your aim. It looks nice. It it tastes nice. What I'm saying is if you came to my party and we talk about my party this afternoon, a minute, suppose somebody served that. Would you would you eat it, Roy? Yeah. Yes. I try anything for a start. And then you see that the thing about you, Roy, is the same as me. If they served pizza and pasta and biscuits and chocolates and so on, well, I'll see that I'll eat it, because I'll eat anything I see, like you, you and me are the same. I think most men are the same, okay? But what I'm saying is that if somebody put a bit of thought into it and gave those kinds of things, well, I'll still eat it, but afterwards I'll feel better for it. So now I couldn't make that, but I suspect all of the ladies that are here, they can all do it. They can all make it. It is a bit of an effort, like an hour's effort or something. But if it's, you know, for your Christmas Day, you might get up in the early in the morning and, you know, whatever you're cooking, but cook healthy stuff, low carbohydrate, low sugar. And if you're going to give drinks, don't give smoothie. But I think you can think about flavored water. You know you can get flavored water. Yeah. It's not very costly. You can buy it from the supermarket, it's easy. And tea and coffee, but without sugar, and things like that. So you've just got to think a little bit about party food rather than just, you know, pizza, of pasta, chocolate biscuits, you know, rather than just do that, just think a little bit, design it a little bit, and then you're being even more kind to your guests. Yeah? Does that make sense? If that makes sense, go like that. Okay? Does that make sense? So try to inspire you for the party mood, okay? In nodiabetes.org.uk, the website we've been learning about in the Diabetes Community Club, There are lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of ideas, okay? And you can go into this and you can start looking for low glycemic index. What they've done, they've deliberately made it tasty. They have to. The NHS knows if they suggest have this food which is not tasty, then you'll do it once. You might do it twice, but you're not going to come back to it, are you? There is no dopamine, right? Yes. So they know they've got to make it tasty. But they also know that they've got to make it look tasty, not just be tasty to eat, which is essential. It's also got to look good. So then this is just about lunches and dinners and normal food for the week. you
