Food to blame for 100% of our crimes

'Cocaine to blame for 41% of our crimes' | Metro.co.uk.
Statistics are a dangerous thing.
Greater Manchester Police drug-tested 1,000 people arrested for violent offences in the seven month period to March last year.
Half tested positive for drugs and of these, 86% tested positive for cocaine.
Had they tested them for food, I am quietly confident that 100% would have eaten some in the previous 24 hours. Oh, and I think half of 86% is 43%, not 41%. Maybe the journalist has been using?
Oh, dear, they didn't accept my comment. Not surprised. It only did uproot 100 years of bad political ideology in a few short sentances. No matter, there are others who seek the truth.
