What it really means is that the irish government increased the price of a packet of cigs by 50 cents in their budget last week taking the price up to 10.65 for a packet of 20 cigs.
The irish smokers said" sod this ,I will give them up" But the government had planned to take in a half a billion extra on tax with the increase.so now they have a really big problem to get the country smoking again and get their cigarette tax.but they can not tell the irish people to go back smoking,and they can not reduce the price back down because the excuse they used for the increse was to stop people smoking. So after consulting with big brothers in Europe they decide to tell everyone that rashers,sausages,ham,stake,and processed food when eaten is more dangerous than smoking to get all back to normal.Ireland was to be a test case in Europe to see if governments could tax tobacco addics to the limit and see if they could get a massive increase in tax without dropping the consumption of tobacco users. now a scare on processed meat has started. |

And that's not as daft a summary as some would think, brassneck.
These lying, using, governments have to get their pound of flesh from somewhere and they create a myriad of nonsense to keep people paying taxes on things 'they shouldn't do, for their health' - whilst purporting to want people to get healthy. Smoke and mirrors - all of it. |

Lidl have some 100 quid legs of iberico ham in at the moment. Given that you'd have to be suicidal to eat one I was wondering whether they'd accept a fiver ?

the governments are at it all the time Tommy Toes,every so often you see items on the main news relating to certain foods being good for you.for example "and we will be right back after the break to tell you why Bananas are good for your heart".Next day all the world trade markets have a run on the Banana companies price soring up the charts.
And if people eat too much red meat an item appears on the news telling us how we all can look younger by eating chicken. |

how about a bowl of corn flakes each morning can help a gambler back winners.
the world science lab at the universe of Colorado have discovered that by eating a bowl of corn flakes each morning a gamblers brain will improve its focus in the area of the brain that is used for figures. Doctor Hans Cordash said"after clinical trails and 5 years study it seems that most gamblers act better with a clearer mind and a light breakfast to improve their focus,resulting in a 66% improvement in finances relating to their gambling".Corn flakes are the advised number one food for all gamblers. |

the governments will now put a tax on sausages and spin a yarn that its for people to cut down on sausages.

does anyone know if a pack of sausages is worse than
a couple of grams of cocaine? |
|
By:
no it's much better, especially if you get caught with them by customs.

Try Fermanagh Black, naturally cured and , it is said , the pigs are not ill treated. I think that you can buy a sample pack for £60.

Has the World Health Organisation explained yet how come despite 99.99% of the West's population eating dangerous processed foods on a daily basis (for decades), the numbers of them suffering from cancer as a result are disproportionately low?

By:
What is ridiculous about this whole thing, is the generalisation of Sausages (and Bacon for that matter) as a single entity of processed meats, as though they were all the same, and therefore of equal risk. For a start the meat content in sausages varies enormously

I wonder what the rates of bowl cancer in Spain and Italy are compared to the rest of the world? They eat quite a lot of processed meats, but I bet they are lower than most countries.
A bigger worry is curry and what goes into them, look at the rates of renal failure among the Asian population |

There's one thing for sure; the latest scare story won't put me off eating sausages by one sausage.

I'm going to write to the World Health people to get the full SP on Peppa Pig ice cream lollies.
Not that there are any left for sale in most parts of Britain of course. Huge stocks are safely tucked up under lock and key in SIX massive dungeon freezers belonging to someone I won't name and shame here. |

Ironically, our local Co-op had sold out of sausages this evening for me bangers & mash - had a ruby instead

In retaliation to the latest ridiculous scare, I've ordered 40 Pork sausages and 8 Turkey sausages on my online order from Tesco to be delivered tomorrow.
And I'll scoff the bleedin' lot with a smile on my face - and not a whimper from my lower bowel! |

You'll be fine Tommy, just fine.
On which day will you be cutting down to just the six? |

Hmm...when I'm not in full sausage mode, Foinavon!

I often have 12 in one sitting.
Sausages are GREAT! |

By:
yes, agree with you there Tommy. Waitrose do some lovely ones with caramelised red onion but most of ours come from Sainsbury.
Just fancy a sausage sandwich now with lashings of brown sauce. Yep, that's it, off to the kitchen. |

Anyone remember the scare stories of very well done toast being carcogenic, or salmon being full of mercury, etc, etc?
Just utter balderdash for the media to pick up on to fill their agenda of making people scared to death. There was a very interesting programme I caught last week on Ch4 (I think) about food - and one of the topics they covered was about MSG. They did a vox pop in the street and everyone they interviewed said (more or less) "Oh, that stuff's terrible for you, isn't it? They went to some Asian country where it is sprinkled on almost every plate of food eaten in the cooking process, and they laughed at the supposition that it was 'bad for you'. They then went to an enormous factory where MSG is made in Asia. The glutamate part comes from Tapioca - and glutamate is in many everyday foods; tomatoes (the white bit in the middle), potatoes, and so on. The monosodium is added to produce a crystal (after distilling and so on with the tapioca). They 'talking heads' (scientists) they interviewed afterwards admitted that MSG is a perfectly safe food enhancer and just has a very bad press. Guess who created the 'bad press'? |
