Jamie Oliver: Sugar can destroy lives and should be taxed like tobacco
…His comments on the risks of sugar following warnings from health campaign groups that sugary diets are one of the main factors in increasing levels of obesity and type-2 diabetes.
…Mr Oliver told the Daily Mail: “Sugar’s definitely the next evil. It’s the next tobacco, without doubt, and that industry should be scared. And it should be taxed, just like tobacco and anything else that can, frankly, destroy lives.”..’
Yet again, we’re all supposed to be penalised for those people who are stupid in charge of a life. Do-gooders such as Oliver can go get fucked. Why the hell should I pay more because some people are fat and have diabetes? How about those people get off their lard asses and work off the fat?
The problem here is that socialised medicine is a license for every two-bit do-gooder asshole to interfere in other people’s lives, on the pretext that such and such a problem is costing x dollars.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

A jumped up tucker-fucker who thinks he is important and must be listened to, by virtue of having appeared on TV.
Your typical chardonnay socialist who thinks that everyone else should live like him and dine on cuts of meat that would amount to half the weekly budget of a typical family.
I have noticed that the predominate make up of the left are people who are driven by emotion and subsequently have no sense of self-moderation.They are the instant gratification crowd,the group that leaps before they look,they are everything they accuse everyone else of being.
Look at the insanity,a woman should have a choice whether to kill her unborn child,but a man should have no choice about being forced to support that child if she chooses to keep it.No one should be allowed to smoke a cigarette ,but Pot is perfectly okay.Christians can’t put up a Nativity,but muslims can rape,torture and kill thousands and it’s brushed off as their culture.
Liberal progressivism is a mental disorder.
THIS SHIT MUST STOP
Like my main man Stonewall Jackson said, “Kill them all
”
Oh, for a civil war…I have a proscription list all made out with names and addresses

Sorry about the rant, but EVERY SINGLE DAY it’s more of this Leftist crap – and I’m not sure how much more I can take before….well…for legal reasons I won’t into detail about my plans.
As a Marxist would say, “The correlation of forces is too much against me”….
Feel free to rant, Ronbo, I think all of us here know how you feel and we feel pretty much the same, to varying degrees.
isn’t this guy British?
Cuz, if I was British, there would be one or two far more important and infinitely more dangerous things I’d worry about. like freaking murderous jihadis!
Exactly!
Happy new year to you.
Good to see you. Kirly.
The insufferable gentleman probably got wind of the latest ‘consensus’

What else…it’s from Californica
Sigh….I sometimes think that place is the source of all madness.
Food fascists and leftists in general live in dread that somebody someplace is enjoying themselves.
They must lead bloody miserable lives, K2.
Also, he is a hypocrite. Many of his dishes are fatty and sugar filled, not to mention filled with endless Parmesan cheese. Overrated little schoolboy. I am so over cooking shows and celebrity chefs, they are insufferable and utterly boring. At least Ramsey has an edge to him.
The only “edge” Ramsey has is that he says “fuck” in the workplace about as much as I do. Apart from that, he may as well flip burgers at the golden arches. Like all of them.
Except of course Nigella. mmmmm, Nigella.
Mmmmm…yes Nigella
Sex maniacs.
Yes, Nigella.

For her cooking, of course….
Can I get some Fries with that Shake?

I like Jamie and most of the chefs I’ve seen on the tele, I’ve tried some of the recipes myself and am quite happy with them, though I can’t make the dishes turn out quite like they can, the other thing is I can’t quite bring myself to use that much butter, and the clean up is a pain.
As for sugar, I agree completely with KG’s response on the tax, sorry Jamie but I don’t want to be taxed because other people can’t stop eating. Either way the nannies should just relax, the way the west is going with our falling living standards, the days when people get excited over apples aren’t all that far off. We’ve gotten fat and plump in our complacency, enjoy it while it lasts.
Sugar should get taxed says Jamie. I already pay a tax on everything I buy, its called GST since 1985.
So what is he proposing, more tax. No thanks Jamie, I pay enough tax.
