While it might sound helpful for governments to busy themselves with saving our lives, or making them better by being nanny food guides, or for the EU future, nanny car safety guides (See the new required electronic surveillance systems on all EU cars built starting this year), I find it all part of the same thing. Less freedom, and more top down control.
What I could see happening in our hyper-righteousness virtue signaling Western culture is that suddenly whole movements will be designed around “righteous food”, and therefore “unrighteous food” is to be done away with.
This will of course be dominated by food monopolies and bad for the little people, the smaller producers… This all heads to the same place in this neoliberal Western model. Have I told you how healthy, environmentally helpful and delicious the bugs are? All the hip, smart and good people say so… Of course you should too. Right thinking people agree.

It’s how, not what, we eat that makes the difference. Also how much!

As a demi Italian who has actually enjoyed the privelige of cooking Italian food on one of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s ” TV Dinners” programmes, I have to say that food in Italy, both in Restaurants and shops, has not advanced in quality, let alone innovation, as it has in Britain, arguably more than anywhere else on the planet.
Why do government officials consider it necessary to direct people in how to live?
Anne Applebaum’s marvellous book Gulag explores how USSR aimed to feed prisoners only sufficient food to allow them to maximise output in the quest for economic growth.
is there a parallel with western governments wanting to control our intake?

Was this article originally written in Italian and then run through Google Translate? I found it incomprehensible.

The difference is irrelevant, we will all die, we can chose to ignore the nonsense, and die, or fret about it, and die.

Agreed, it is truly astonishing how British ‘scoff’ has improved over the past thirty years. The days of spam and spotted d**k are long gone!
nothing wrong with spotted d**k!
unless STD?
