UK British News Megathread - aka CWCissey's news thread

https://news.sky.com/story/row-over-new-greggs-vegan-sausage-rolls-heats-up-11597679 (https://archive.ph/5Ba6o)

A heated row has broken out over a move by Britain's largest bakery chain to launch a vegan sausage roll.

The pastry, which is filled with a meat substitute and encased in 96 pastry layers, is available in 950 Greggs stores across the country.

It was promised after 20,000 people signed a petition calling for the snack to be launched to accommodate plant-based diet eaters.


But the vegan sausage roll's launch has been greeted by a mixed reaction: Some consumers welcomed it, while others voiced their objections.

Cook and food poverty campaigner Jack Monroe declared she was "frantically googling to see what time my nearest opens tomorrow morning because I will be outside".

While TV writer Brydie Lee-Kennedy called herself "very pro the Greggs vegan sausage roll because anything that wrenches veganism back from the 'clean eating' wellness folk is a good thing".

One Twitter user wrote that finding vegan sausage rolls missing from a store in Corby had "ruined my morning".

Another said: "My son is allergic to dairy products which means I can't really go to Greggs when he's with me. Now I can. Thank you vegans."

TV presenter Piers Morgan led the charge of those outraged by the new roll.

"Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns," he wrote on Twitter.

Mr Morgan later complained at receiving "howling abuse from vegans", adding: "I get it, you're all hangry. I would be too if I only ate plants and gruel."

Another Twitter user said: "I really struggle to believe that 20,000 vegans are that desperate to eat in a Greggs."

"You don't paint a mustach (sic) on the Mona Lisa and you don't mess with the perfect sausage roll," one quipped.

Journalist Nooruddean Choudry suggested Greggs introduce a halal steak bake to "crank the fume levels right up to 11".

The bakery chain told concerned customers that "change is good" and that there would "always be a classic sausage roll".

It comes on the same day McDonald's launched its first vegetarian "Happy Meal", designed for children.

The new dish comes with a "veggie wrap", instead of the usual chicken or beef option.

It should be noted that Piers Morgan and Greggs share the same PR firm, so I'm thinking this is some serious faux outrage and South Park KKK gambiting here.

Teenager loses sight as eating disorder leads to malnutrition

Doctors highlight plight of 19-year-old from Bristol to warn of hidden dangers of poor nutrition

Bristol teenager loses sight and hearing due to processed food diet
Doctors highlight plight of 19 year old to warn of hidden dangers of poor nutrition

The teenager suffers from an eating disorder and eats only chips, crisps, sausages, processed ham and white bread.

The family of a teenager, from Bristol, who suffered irreversible eyesight loss after surviving on a diet of chips, white bread and processed snacks and meat have spoken of their heartache. The teenager, now 19, has been a fussy eater from an early age and cannot tolerate the texture of fruit and vegetables.
His poor diet caused him to suffer from nutritional optic neuropathy, which is treatable if diagnosed early. In his case, fibres in his optic nerve have been so badly damaged that the harm to his sight has been judged to be permanent.

Speaking anonymously, the teenager’s mother said he could not find work and had had to abandon a college course in IT.
She said her son became a fussy eater when he was about seven and would only eat chips, crisps, sausages, processed ham and white bread.
“The first we knew about it was when he began coming home from primary school with his packed lunch untouched,” she said.
“I would make him nice sandwiches – and put an apple or other fruit in – and he wouldn’t eat any of it. His teachers became concerned, too.
“His brother and sister have never stopped eating. They love everything. He has always been skinny, so we had no weight concerns. You hear about junk food and obesity all the time – but he was as thin as a rake.”

The family only realised something was seriously wrong when his hearing began going at the age of 14 – and his vision soon after.
The woman said: “His sight went downhill very fast – to the point where he is now legally blind.
“He has no social life to speak of now. After leaving school he got into college to do a course in IT. But he had to give it up because he could not see or hear anything.
“He would love a job, but he has not been able to find anything he can do. I had to quit my job in a pub. I now look after him full-time. He is taking vitamin supplements, but his diet is still pretty much the same. “When he was having counselling we managed to start him on fruit smoothies. But he’s gone off those now.”
The boy suffers from an eating disorder called Arfid (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder). Sufferers become sensitive to the taste, texture, smell and appearance of certain types of food.

His mother, in her 40s, said: “We couldn’t believe it when we were told what had happened. We are told the damage is irreversible. It’s been a nightmare.
“My son would love a job where he can sit at a desk and be useful. His siblings are doing well. It’s heartbreaking.”
The 19-year-old agreed for his case to be reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine to raise awareness.
At the age of 14, he was diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency and put on supplements, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet.
Dr Denize Atan, who treated the teenager at Bristol Eye Hospital, said: “He had a daily portion of fries from the local fish and chip shop and snacked on Pringles, white bread, processed ham slices and sausage. “He explained this as an aversion to certain textures of food that he really could not tolerate, and so chips and crisps were really the only types of food that he wanted and felt that he could eat.” Atan and her colleagues re-checked the young man’s vitamin levels and found he was low in B12 as well as some other important vitamins and minerals. He was not over or underweight, but was severely malnourished. The paper said it was well-known junk food increased the risk of poor cardiovascular health, obesity and cancer. But it warned not everyone realised that poor nutrition could also permanently damage the nervous system, particularly vision.

So the autistic little cocksucker just didn't feel like eating certain food. But because we're in Clown World, the parents just have to treat this as brave and beautiful special snowflake behavior and not even bother trying to change it. What shit parents.

It used to be you'd shape up and if you actually weren't capable of it, they'd put you in a home where your tard vegetable behavior could at least be contained. Now you can't possibly do that, it's ableist or some made up -ist word.

Now their tard child isn't just a tard, but blind and deaf as well. Great parenting.

In other news, water is wet. I like how they specify that Brits may be even more inbred than they were able to test for since only the inbreeds capable of actually getting out and about and doing things like participating in genetic surveys would show up, the others being too inbred and tarded to be detected.

This isn't because of the processed food (exclusively) it's because of the lack of nutrients. Ok I know that sounds like an oxymoron but if they made him take some multivitamins or shoved a tube down his throat he would have been fine. Fruits and vegetables canned in water do have significant salt and sugar but most of it can be rinsed off and have a different mouthfeel than fresh fruit and veggies if he were autistic or a "supertaster" or whatever the fuck. Most parents would have done it the hard way and done the "you're not allowed to leave until you eat" like most of the time it's a dick move, but this time it was probably necessary but now you're paying for your shitty parenting. Would it be unpleasant? Yeah. Would he resent you? For a little while. But it's better than being FUCKING BLIND. With all that fancy schmancy NHS talk, nobody in his life thought to give him an IV?

 

[Norvic]

Just goes to prove the truth of the old saying you are what you eat. Ate only chips and became a potato.

 

[Fareal]

The Biobank study only concerns wypipo. The Pakistani cousins issue is a separate clusterfuck.

The researchers specified these were first degree relative cases, ie father-daughter or brother-sister offspring. Which has emphatically not been legal in the UK in the 20th century, the period the study participants were drawn from.

What this study actually demonstrates is the vast historical underreporting of the scale of incestual sexual abuse in UK families.

I would suspect a fair number of these participants were adopted out at birth, and their true paternity not disclosed to the adoption agency or anyone else. Many of the others will have remained in the family or extended family and the entire thing kept a complete secret.

Notice the apparent fall off in the rate in 1967, the year the Abortion Act was passed.

This is typical anti-white British racism from the hard left Independent, which is so crap that it's not even available as a printed newspaper anymore & is owned by a Russian oligarch & a Saudi national.

125 inbreds out of 450,000 is not that high at all, especially given the age range tested, many of which will be dead by now. 1 in 3,652 people, out of those tested are or were inbred. So, no, Britain isn't horrifically inbred at all, apart from the Pakis & the aristocrats. Fake news.

About 150 parents and pupils have staged a protest outside a secondary school over gender neutral uniforms.
Priory School in Lewes, East Sussex, made trousers compulsory for new and existing students for the new term.
The school said "concerns" had been raised over the length of girls' skirts and new rules also catered for a handful of transgender pupils.
Protesters have said pupils should have a choice to wear skirts, while others believe clothes are being wasted.

Former Priory student and TV presenter Piers Morgan tweeted his support for the protesters saying the "gender neutral craze" was out of control and girls should be girls, and boys should be boys.
The Conservative MP for Lewes, Maria Caulfield, also tweeted: "Very disturbed to see the school turning away girls from Priory school because they choose to wear a skirt and calling the police on them.
"This is not how we should be treating the young women of Lewes."
Libby Murray, who is in her final year, said the new rule meant clothes were going to be thrown away, which would contribute to the climate change crisis.
She also said removing the choice for pupils to wear skirts because some wear them too short was "unfair".
"Girls roll up their skirts but that can be solved by better policing of it."

• Brighton College scraps uniform code for transgender pupils
• Parents remove son from school in pupil gender row
• How should schools support transgender pupils?

She added: "To make it gender neutral they have to let everyone wear skirts or trousers and have that choice."

Image captionSome pupils believe they should be given a choice about whether to wear trousers or skirts
In 2017, the school introduced a trouser-only policy for new students. It brought in the blanket ban on skirts for all students on Friday.
In a statement, it said students not conforming to the new rule would be asked to return home and change before being allowed into the building.
Pupil Nina Cullen wore a skirt to school and was refused entry.
"I haven't bought the new uniform and I don't see the point in wasting money," she said.
During extremely hot weather pupils had previously been allowed to wear PE shorts or skorts - shorts made to look like skirts.
However, a letter sent to parents in June said the decision had "created more problems than we wished".
It said pupils not following the new rule was "detracting" staff from teaching.

Now how am I supposed to chase school girl skirts?

 

[HeyYou]

At first I thought it was going to be autists mad that women could choose to not wear skirts, but no, they're straight up mandating that girls wear trousers for the dumbest reasons (trannies, girls rolling up the skirts, and "distracting" teachers) whether they like it or not. It's fair to be mad.

Uniforms are backward shit by themselves, everyone should always be able to wear whatever they want, nudity included.
