British Food Police

Tell me this doesn't sound like a Monty Python skit.

GORY images of burger rolls filled with gristle and bones are appearing across Britain today in an effort to get children to think about the food they eat.

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has created posters showing the common ingredients in many burgers, hot dogs and chicken nuggets in the hope of shocking youngsters into improving their diet.

And it's ok, because they have a celebrities supporting them.

Celebrities including cricket star Andrew Flintoff, girl bands The Sugababes and Girls Aloud and Cold Feet actress Fay Ripley are also backing the campaign.

Ms Ripley said: "The BHF is right to challenge children to think more about what they are eating.

"I worry about children who live solely on a diet of burgers, chips and microwave meals and can't tell a carrot from a cucumber.

"As a mum, I know how hard it can be to get children to eat healthier foods, but there are lots of things parents can do.

"They should try to buy fresh food whenever possible and involve their children more in grocery shopping and making dinner."

"As a mum" you'd think that she would prefer that they not put out the abattoir burger advertisement. I'd bet that getting kids to eat better will be so much easier after that. Of course, it's kids that are the problem, not the moronic parents that aren't providing the proper nutrition.
You know, Great Britain is starting to make me think of the movie Soylent Green. People don't know what the food is made of and the economy isn't so great. If they start having riots, all they need is the front-end loaders putting people into trucks and you're there.

Ok, maybe it's not that bad.
