Leg Iron has for a long time been talking about how the methods use to attack smokers are applied to drinkers, over weight people and everyone else really, especially high lighting the potential affects of all this reduce salt, reduce fat ban this that and the other plans on the mental well being of anyone actually forced to comply with them. Today the Devils Knife brings news that Japan has moved beyond just encouraging people to be more healthy but are now fining companies if their employee’s don’t match a government defined waist line (seemingly irrespective of any other considerations).
Meanwhile the World Cancer Research Fund has declared that all processed meat is unfit for human consumption. Apparently we should all stop eating bacon, sausages, slamai everything as it’s so carcinogenic that people must be falling down dead in the streets like the plot of some low budget horror movie. The compulsory scare number is a 67% increase in the risk of pancreatic cancer – compared to people that ate little or no meat at all. So whilst apparently the average risk is that 1 in 76 people will get pancreatic cancer I am inclined to add this to the long list of things they want to control and note that the message associated with it is “don’t eat any processed meat”. This will of course increase the cost of eating meat for most people, and so ties into the seemingly global push towards vegetarianism that seems to beloved of the green movement. When they’re not advocating blowing people up for not doing enough to bring about global cooling.
