Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
We have seen so many claims, and counter-claims, it is very difficult to be sure of anything much!
I foresee fat, especially lard and other animal fats, being regarded as bad - as they usually are now. I consume plenty - love butter and cheese. Yet my cholesterol (inasmuch as it is a measure of anything) is low - towards hypocholesterolaemia. And my triglycerides are fine.

Not so! Plenty of fat - just not circulating in the forms they measure.
Or the Mongolian nomads who live much of the year on rancid butter.

The government has launched a Better Health campaign, which aims to encourage the country to “to lose weight to beat coronavirus (COVID-19) and protect the NHS”. The programme would ban “buy one get one free” promotions and introduce calorie counts on menus, a move that has prompted criticism from at least one eating disorder charity.

Out of curiosity, where and who did this plan originate from and why right now? While it is an important issue it in nowhere near the top of priorities we face at the moment. If it was, it would have been tackled years ago, so what is it intended to divert our attention from?

from the spat they have with the Chinese and Russians.
Now it looks like Trump may lose in November...
Perhaps not to divert attention. Possibly it's a way to get us used to less food in preparation for food rationing as a way of dealing with No Deal Brexit shortages and Covid-19 economic collapse.
Then as we get more hungry we'll become more eager to accept the USA's GM crops and chlorinated chicken, this achieving several political objectives with one measure.
.
This whole Chlorinated food thing is a very interesting debate when you look into it. We are of course already eating food that's been prepared with Chlorinated water like pre packed salads fruit veg etc, in fact we've been using Chorine for over 100 years with no harmful affects to ourselves it's said.
Americans when told their food is prepared with Chlorine say there're glad it is because it's healthier that having it bug ridden.
GM is another thing we already eat although I suspect most don't know or care. A lot of the flour you see on supermarket shelves either comes from or contains flour originating in Canada where GM crops are the norm.
I'd say it's almost impossible to avoid all products that have been prepared in ways we might find undesirable.

But not wheat flour, that isn't the norm anywhere in the world so that doesn't apply. Corn (maize) is commonly GM.

As a smokescreen this anti obesity campaign seems to be working, portraying Johnson as a caring and thoughtful prime minister instead of the twat he is.
In reality is a scam to reduce the impact of food shortages due to Brexit as having added value and to make him look popular.
If it is so important why wasn't it done before?
Next thing they will be penalising the public by prioritising slim people for NHS treatment

As I've said we have been eating GM for over 10 years, and yes that does include wheat ! When tests on GM crops were first carried out research stations made no attempt to isolate their produce from nearby non GM fields, the result was contamination from the GM wheat had made it's way into other farms. All this was documented years ago but no one gave a damn then and probably still don't, except those labelled as cranks ... like me
You are eating it alright you just don't know it, thing is do you care ?
Just to be clear, I mentioned Canadian wheat as a one size fits all reference. I could have gone into detail about all the various foodstuffs of which various seeds, grains etc end up in our flour and eventually bread.

Trump will do try everything in order to win. If he loses then there is a good chance the truth will come out and he and members of his regime will end up in prison. Many people think unless Biden wins big then Trump will be able to fix thing so that he stays in power for four more years. What Putin has done to Russia Trump and his family are doing to the USA. It's hard to believe they could do it in a democracy but that is what is happening.

Only a Democratic landslide can ward off the nightmare prospect of this president simply refusing to leave office, writes Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

I must tell you this factual story about how Londoners preference for Yellow butter came about.
When Alum production began at Ravenscar nearly 200 years ago large quantities of Human urine were required for mass processing of the roasted ore.
Barrels were placed outside London pubs (and of course other major cities) and when full shipped by sea to Skinningrove, where when emptied the barrels were filled with locally produced Butter, which is virtually white in colour, and shipped back to London for the process to continue, since no one objected there didn't seem to be any reason to clean the barrels at either end of the journey.
