Significant

[EternalOptimist]

There was a bit on R4 this morning about pork and beef proteins being injected into our chicken in 'significant' amounts. I was thinking what that word actually means.

It could mean a tiny tiny amount, just large enough to be measured.
It could mean a massive amount that makes it more like a pork sausage than a bit of chicken.

Interesting word, 'Significant'

Must make things difficult for those with religeous objections to certain foods.

"Chicken" soup anyone?

Certainly sir, does it contain any pork in significant quantities ? or is it all in insignificant quantities ?

There's the same scandal kicking off in Denmark. Here it is lamb that is injected with pork. So that kebab, ain't what you think it is, (but was it ever?)

And then the secondary part of this is a little difficult to explain: the pork used was recovered after it had passed it's sell by date, thereby making the 'new' meat it was injected into immediately passed it's sell by date, but they were putting the new meat's date on it, and selling in certain supermarkets. Some of the injected meat didn't fit the display quality standards, so ended up as mince. The mince was tested and found to contain only trace amounts of lamb, and of course, by now, well passed it's sell by date...

I have this theory, that I call my 'Grass theory'

Bread is made from wheat right, which is grass. Lamb comes from , er, lambs, which live on grass, right.
Therefore,
and this is the clever bit,

whenever you have a lamb butty, you are actually having a grass grass.

There is a theory that the increase is breast size of scandis, not just of females, but males også, is due to the hormones they've been giving to cows to increase their milk yields being passed on in milk products.

It's not just the scandis who have dubious farming practises. A lot of European producers still get away with stuff that has been outlawed in the UK and we're still the ones with a bad rep!

My significant other sometimes has a bit of pork in her....?












Yes that's right, we love a good roast pork dinner on a Sunday!

ok, I have a second theory.

Why do beer drinkers get beer-bellies ?
It's all down to the immune system. If you go out in the hot sun all day, the body protects itself by turning the skin darker. If you walk for twenty miles each day, the body protects itself by growing pads on the soles of the feet

etc.

now here's the clever bit
ten pints of ale in a skinny body would do a lot of damage, so the body protects itself by growing a beer belly.
