meat is murder

The UK government has started to look into the possibility of health warning labels on foods high in saturated fats - like dairy. These ar fat laden foods intended to help a calf quickly develop quickly into a cow, it is not a surprise that they are not healthy for humans, who typically are smaller than cows.

Dairy products like cheese and butter could carry government health warnings in a bid to combat rising obesity and heart disease.

The labels - similar to those on cigarette packs - would urge shoppers to eat products with high levels of saturated fats only in moderation, said the Government’s food watchdog, the Food Standards Agency. It hopes the “shock tactic” will persuade people to cut down on the fats which clog the arteries and can cause heart disease. A spokesman said the plans were at an early stage and would be the subject of further research.

The campaign is expected to include the claim that two slices of buttered toast contain more saturated fat than four doughnuts, and that one cheese sandwich contains more than half an individual’s recommended daily amount.
