JohnfromUK Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 It seems that Dotty Dale Vince, one of Labour's biggest donors wants bacon top carry 'tobacco style' health warning labels. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14095335/dale-vince-bacon-tobacco-style-health-warnings.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehb102 Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 If it is the stuff with nitrites in it should. That is rated at the same level of risk as cigarettes ***. That had been known for well over a decade. https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2024/08/01/bacon-ham-hot-dogs-salami-how-does-processed-meat-cause-cancer-and-how-much-matters/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 And here we go! Loonies trying to dictate what we should and should not eat. It’s not the start of it obviously; some have been banging on about banning dairy/meat products for years, but the loonies are in charge of the asylum now with a sweeping majority and no effective opposition, so while it’s not the start of the slippery slope of the decline in our freedoms of choice, it’s just yet another hypocritical millionaire trying to push their agenda. Once you’ve dictated what a population should and should not eat….well, think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you’ve dictated what a population should and should not eat….well, think about it. Indeed; the problem here is that he 'gave' £63M to the Labour party and no doubt expects his "pound of flesh" (well OK, bushel of grain as he is a dedicated vegan) in exchange. The principle that business and individuals can (and do) give to political parties that hold and propose to implement similar views (and may have policies helpful to business) is long established just as we all give our vote for those we feel best represent our views and protects our interests. Giving then expecting to dictate government policy (i.e. tail wagging dog) is not the same thing. My guess is that eco-warrior Dale Vince's phone number is near the top of Milliband's phone list and vice versa. There is BIG money in these eco energy grants. I shall continue to eat bacon, salami and other meats. The point on nitrites is taken, but I have tried the "made without" types (M&S and Naked among others do them). They are OK, not the best, but they still give out loads of water and "white stuff". Edited November 18 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 the next move will be to ban all pork products so it fits in with the British caliphate.........and British women will have to wear face coverings.......(which judging by the quality of totty around here wont be a bad idea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
