If its not Cadbury taking stuff out of my food, its Government morons putting stuff in my food that annoys me. I loathe my food and my health being buggered with.
The Nazi style way the food additive, folic acid was introduced by the previous Labour Government by the former Food Safety Minister Annette King was no surprise because Mein Kampf seemed to be some sort of text book that that Government loosely followed in terms of execution of Labour Party policy but for the present National Government to do nothing to stop the introduction in September of this possible dangerous additive being added to our daily bread is nothing short of hypocritical.
Hypocritical because this mass medication of our food supply was part of the Labour Nanny State that we all got thoroughly sick of that encompassed how long we showered, what we ate, drank, smoked, said, who to like and even debates over the definition of rape in normal relationships, a whole host of other socialist/Nazi style interference and who knows what else had we had the misfortune of another Labour regime.
Do National remember why they were elected?
We wanted this bloody Nanny State crap to come to an end!
National's Kate Wilkinson, Minister of Food Safety, in the face of evidence that folic acid in bread could be a cancer danger, says that she doesn't want the additive but she can do little about it because of a food standards agreement with Australia that we just cant break.
Even if you agreed that folic acid should be added to all our bread so we had no personal freedom to eat this crap, a pregnant woman would have to eat 11 slices of this bread to ameliorate any folate deficiency in her diet and lessen the possibility that her baby would get spina bifida.
5 kids get this disease every year, not a good reason to put the rest of the population in danger by using a staple food to do so. Best a prospective mother takes a folate supplement if worried, better for her and the rest of us and we will have the freedom of choice to eat what we want.
The additive will add to the cost of bread to consumers and waste millions of plastic bags that have to be re-printed with this muck added to the ingredients list.
Grow some balls Kate and stop the folate, you are in Government now and yes you can do it.

ReplyDeleteHi, the doctors seem to disagree with you on this one. I'm confused on the matter. Perhaps you can address some of the issues they raise?
Gidday Anon, My main point is that it should be a choice what you shove in your gob. This silly move would have that choice taken away.
ReplyDeleteOn the health issue over it, there doesn't seem to be any consensus as to whether folate could be dangerous and that reason alone is a good reason not to put it in our food.
I wouldn't take what any doctor's organization has to say about this too seriously, they don't support Prostate screening either and there is clear evidence that prostate screening saves lives.
There is a common thread with these two parts of this post, both folate and prostate concerns affect men's health and as we know, men get the short end of the anal probe when it comes to health in this over feminized part of life.
Those that support folate in bread simply don't care about men's health.
