It Never Ends…

People should stop drinking orange juice because it contains as much sugar as Coca-Cola, the government’s leading adviser on obesity has warned, as she calls for a tax on all fruit juice.

These people are like an ants’ nest that has been kicked over – they are swarming everywhere – even up your trouser legs. There is no end to them and their prissy puritanical, finger-wagging nannying. And, of course, their solution to everything of which they disapprove is to slap a tax on it. Look, we are already over burdened with tax. We should be paying less tax – a great deal less, not more. And, frankly, as I like orange juice I will drink as much of it as I like. I don’t care how much sugar is added – IĀ like it, and that is all there is to be said. It is my body and my life and I will decide what I consume and how much. The best thing that can happen to these various government Tsars is what happened to the last real one in Russia.

Fuck off! Mind your own business and let me mind mine. Mine’s an orange juice. Undiluted, thanks very much.

  1. Even if you wanted to conform to these people’s demands you wouldn’t be able to, the naughty and nice list keeps changing. In the end, what the effing hell would you still be able to eat? You would end up dying of a deficiency in some essential nutrient. In any case, why has sugar suddenly been re-classified as a poison? Your body needs carbohydrates to use as fuel. Complex carbs, (bread, rice, cereals and spuds) need to be broken down and converted into glucose before your body can make use of them. As a result they provide your body with a slow burning and longer lasting supply of energy. Simple carbs (sugars) are converted much more quickly and provide your body with a quicker, shorter burst of energy. You only get fat if you don’t burn enough of it off and if that starts to happen you will notice as you get heavier and bigger. If you do, then it’s your own problem and nobody else’s and it’s entirely up to you whether you want to do something about it or not.

  2. I think its wonderful how our masters are so concerned about the welfare of us unthinking oiks, so to show my heartfelt appreciation, I shall be diluting my too sugary orange juice with vodka from now on>

  3. Further to my earlier comment about the naughty and nice list, orange juice is currently on both as, according to the NHS website it can be included as one of your five a day.

    “One glass (150ml) of unsweetened 100% fruit or vegetable juice. Juice counts as a maximum of one portion a day, however much you drink. This is mainly because it contains less fibre than whole fruits and vegetables.”

  6. Orange Juice *also* contains MASSIVE amounts of ethyl alcohol. See:

    http://www.sweetpoison.com/articles/dr-woodrow-monte10.html

    380 mg/liter. Ethyl Alcohol is a Class A Carcinogen. There are ten such carcinogens in tobacco smoke, totally roughly 0.5mg/cigarette. Sooo… if you feed your little Bobby ‘n Beckykins a liter of OJ for breakfast before school you’ve “carcinogenized” them with the equivalent of 760 cigarettes! That’s roughly equivalent to smoking around them for 760,000 hours in a decently ventilated bar or restaurant!
