As if Pigs aren't getting enough of a bad rep at the moment, along comes science to bad mouth Billy Bear and all things meaty.
New findings by the "world cancer research foundation" have been announced linking eating processed meat such as ham and bacon to an increased risk in developing bowl cancer later on in life. The 'Facts' being that you are at a 20% higher risk of messing with your bowls if you eat at least 50g of processed red meat a day. To put that in normal speak, it's a good meaty sandwich full, Whereas smoky Joe will be at a 40% higher risk than that of a non smoker.
So while the Bernard Matthews executives are running around trying not to go under for the second time in two years, health food organizations everywhere are punching the sky with glory. It's been a long slanderous road for the good guys but finally it seems to be paying off. Working for an organic company at the moment must carry the same feeling as a yuppy business banker in the 80's, but with the added sense of gratitude from all the people not dying.
It seems the world is going through a compassionate phase at the moment with its health reforms and organic alternatives but like an old bit of ham lodged in the pallet of the people, one question still remains. How far will these far out hippy health freaks push the good eatin on us? is this the end of all things free and yummy and the start of a different socialist health plan. Is this the health plan Obama didn't want the world to know about, a plan where we become a world of health book ration stampers with no ability to make food choices for ourselves, abandoned Mcdonalds falling apart, sausage stalls gathering dust. A unilateral communist people wearing grey and having precise times for there aubergine break. Big business falls and its back to the dark ages of allotments and farm shops.
With the end of turkey twizzlers comes the end of the world. Cheers Jamie.
