Just back from Disneyland Paris visit, and I trawled through my inbox first to see what's happening before posting anything about it*. Two headines from the Metro (which they email me since I signed up for the online reading thingy) have knocked me sideways:
Metro 5 August 2010: Rise in male infertility linked to plastic food and drink cartons
Metro 6 August 2010: A Chinese takeaway contains a glass of fat
I mean it'd be bad enough them taking over 90% of manufacturing and world trade; buying up natural resources in Africa and causing a massive oil spill, but this? Making us infertile and and fat? It's all over, isn't it?
* A visit to Disneyland raises a lot of questions about economics, human nature, town planning etc.

Well, if that is the case, blokes should stop eating plastic food immediately. I thought it was all the oestrogen in the drinking water :-)
Welcome back MW, you have been sorely missed* - and next time ask permission afore you p/off!
Seriously, do hope you and yours enjoyed your holiday!
* (no offence to your 'stand-in')
L, it's probably the Chinese takeaways pumping all the oestrogen into the drinking water as well.
WFW, ta, we did, very tiring, S_L really did throw down the gauntlet, didn't he?
But Mark, did you also see the frightening, cow-related scare story in the Metro? How a clone army of cattle is this very moment invading the food chain here in Britain? The consequences of which will be, um, vaguely bad but never very clearly explained? Clones!
AC, indeed. But Tim Worstall beat me to it - apparently the milk from cloned cows is full of nasties like phospholipids, casein micelles, carotine, lactoglobulin, lactose and even cholesterol.
Scary stuff, eh?
MW, never mind about all that 'chemical claptrap' - it is all a German ploy to take over our agriculture under the EU's CAP, as in 'Cologne'd...............
None taken WFW, and I'm glad MW's back too.
I'll make up for my lack of enthusiasm and interesting things to say this weekend by telling you all about the 'Novel Foods' regulations and how they apply to cloned / offspring of cloned cattle and dairy products if you all really want.
(Believe me, it's really not that interesting)
Please do Steve. I'm interested. It would be very useful for research purposes.
OK, S, bearing in mind I'm going through a crate of Becks and watching a Peep Show DVD before heading off to the test match tomorrow - I'll tell you about cloned cow attacks next week :)
I thought my infertility was down to driving past Devonport Dockyard so frequently.
All my sperm are stronger than ever - not a bent tail among them. The only problem is that they all can only swim South ... to Mother Ship.
Send in the Clones.
Well, we've been warned.
Ask people who are against cloned cows whether they would kill any twins they have as children.
