Do you remember that mega-worry about minute particles of the illegal dye Sudan I getting into the food chain? Man, was that fun to watch.
In the first instance, extensive and prolonged exposure to it would be needed in order for it to even remotely cause anybody to have to worry about their health. It has been linked to ‘cancer’, which is an interesting word that gets people running for cover and looking really serious.
Because of a complete misunderstanding of the food chain and the inability to check lists of products which may have had traces of the dye in them, I witnessed panic throwing out of all the contents of the cupboard and fridge or freezer. It was hilarious.
What makes this exercise even more ridiculous is that the person doing the throwing out was so worried by the hype and media panic campaign that she was saying, “I never like Worcester Sauce anyway, my instincts were right, I’ll definitely never touch it again.” Good grief. This woman can vote and reproduce.
I’ve saved the best bit to last: She was telling me about her panic, whilst smoking a cigarette. Ha ha ha. So, the silly bitch was doing an act which not ‘might’, but definitely ‘will’ kill her, worried about something which in all probability will kill absolutely nobody, and indeed to date has killed nobody. How bizarre these people are.
Indeed, the reality of the food chain is such that we are more likely to contract something from the unchecked filthy dirty hands and habits of the underpaid illegal immigrants involved in preparing and packing the foods in the first place before they get to the supermarket shelves.
But, it is so funny how stupid some people are and how they just don’t ‘get’ how things work. These people just don’t seem to be able to listen and understand anything beyond the plot of EastEnders. Where’s my flame-thrower? She’s going to cost me a fortune when she’s dying in hospital from her smoking habit. I need to rid the planet of her now.
