I'm offended!' Naturally, we all looked at him as if he were mad.<br /><br />2) A couple of years ago, our butcher had a large selection of pork in the window, and several people went in to complain. He said, 'If you're offended, don't look. End of.'<br /><br />So, there seems to be a growing anti-pork movement here in the UK.<br /><br />However -- and it's a big one -- the US has been down on pork and potatoes since the 1980s. Consumption is on a steep decline. Many people believe that pork is not only fatty, but 'unclean' (several demographic groups -- unmentioned for political correctness). Potatoes are presented in the media as having less useful food energy than rice, couscous or pasta. <br /><br />My advice to everyone in the West is to consume more pork and potatoes!<br /><br />ChurchmouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-54738766438483794212011-11-11T14:24:20.865+00:002011-11-11T14:24:20.865+00:00And then of course there's the secondhand baco...And then of course there's the secondhand bacon fumes if you fry it!<br /><br />Perhaps parents who cook bacon and eggs in the morning should have their children removed from them?<br /><br />- MJMMichael J.

(Good post and totally agree)<br /><br />Wonder what they think to the recent advert on TV - 'If you have had a cough for 3 weeks or more, it could be a sign of lung cancer' - surprised really that they haven't added "caused by smoking or SHS". Guess someone else got in on this one before rabid anti smoking lobbyists!<br /><br />Perhaps making us all totally neurotic is the next step in this Dictatorship - that way we would be easier to manage and manipulate!Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090967182504400137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-52302856787162249792011-11-10T11:56:36.100+00:002011-11-10T11:56:36.100+00:00Try using toilet paper.Try using toilet paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-54690223443700176532011-11-10T04:23:15.747+00:002011-11-10T04:23:15.747+00:00In case you're not a bacon eater yourself and ...In case you're not a bacon eater yourself and don't feel like hating, bastardizing and denormalising those who do eat the filthy meat - just remember that breathing in filthy bacon fumes while it's frying could be just as fatal, even if it's being fried outdoors, as there's no safe level, not even a hurricane could blow away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-9824646534318493802011-11-10T02:34:05.726+00:002011-11-10T02:34:05.726+00:00Well, that's okay.

Having used pretty much every dirty trick in the book to push ever onwards and upwards in their quest for “smoke free everywhere,” they’ve pretty much left no new ground for any other campaigning groups to claim as their own. All the real “biggies” – the scare stories which have really made the gullible public jump around and go all “anti” – have been snapped up by anti-smoking. Cancer? Check. Heart disease? Check. Scary manipulated statistics? Check. Faux “research” presented as “proof?” Check. Harm to others? Check. For the sake of the cheeldren? Check. Government health warnings? Check. Graphic photos? Check. Ludicrously high taxation rates? Check.<br /><br />Which goes a long way towards explaining why all these knock-on anti-this or anti-that groups use such similar words and (as in this example) even images as the anti-smoking movement. They simply don’t have any option – anti-smoking has already covered all the bases. There just isn’t any health, social or personal problem that the anti-smoking movement hasn’t claimed as its own already, so mimicking is the only option left for new campaigners to use.<br /><br />But if I was an anti-bacon (or anti-sugar, or anti-alcohol) campaigner, I’d be putting on my most creative thinking cap and being very careful of treading on anti-smoking’s toes, ‘cos they’re a nasty lot when they’re riled, and they certainly won’t be wanting to share any of their hard won “flagship” ailments – like cancer – with anyone else, for fear that this might detract from their hard-won message that smoking, and smoking alone, is the cause of 99.9% of all cancers, anywhere, ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-34625137811940606052011-11-09T20:36:41.336+00:002011-11-09T20:36:41.336+00:00Fair play, proper bacon is smoked first, so you ca...Fair play, proper bacon is smoked first, so you can see how the confusion might arise.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.com
