When you find what you like start copying it. Tear pages from magazines and keep a scrapbook. Keep a swipe file of stuff you love on your phone. ![]() Carry a notebook and pen wherever you go and make notes, and doodle. You are, in fact, a mashup of what you choose to let into your life. I would simply reply that I went to other events and pinched the best bits, stuck them together and created something new. I totally get this – when I worked in the events industry I used to get asked how I got my ideas. ![]() The book opens by saying that every artist steals ideas and that there is no such thing as a new idea, it’s simply a mash up or remix of one or more previous ideas.

Rather, it is taken as still more evidence that the overweight and obese are incapable of following a diet and eating in moderation. ![]() That eating less invariably fails as a cure for obesity is rarely perceived as the single most important reason to make us question our assumptions, as Hilde Bruch suggested half a century ago. Not only is this thinking at least partly responsible for the ever-growing numbers of obese and overweight in the world - while directing attention away from the real reasons we get fat - but it has served to reinforce the perception that those who are fat have no one to blame but themselves. ![]() But it's misleading and misconceived on so many levels that it's hard to imagine how it survived unscathed and virtually unchallenged for the last fifty years.
