Tabs make you cough

These terrible things point towards a planet and people who have lost the plot. One man caan have 6 zillion dollars in the bank, while another man earns 1$ s day.

I have just made a bacon sandwich, the bacon was extremely expensive, compared to the pittance the farmer\'s payed. I put the Bacon into the pan and after a short while loads of frothy white water started coming out and filling me skillet. It\'s obviously not the first time this has happened though, it happens all the time, because the food we are SOLD is full of ****. They inject water into pigs so they can make more money. Now who are these pig water injector people, who ****ing dreamt that one up. We buy the ****e they prosper. ****ing water in your bacon man. Rev - A - ****ing - Lution needed.










Ate the ****er anyway

water in yer bacon... thats nowt that. average chicken bought in the supermarkets is between 6 and 10 weeks old

how do you make a chicken do a years growing in 6 weeks??

scary statistic time... (source: DTI.gov.uk) Out of every 8 pounds spent in the uk, 1 of them goes straight to tesco

mate in the village here just had his dairy herd slaughtered. The reason tesco are the biggest milk buyer in the UK. they pay only 12p per litre, the transport charges have to come out of that, meaning they get(got) less than 8p per litre, yet they still charge nigh on a quid a litre in the stores

he can\'t afford to feed em over the winter so off to the slaughterhouse, where the large supermarket chains will pick em for up nowt to process into your ready meals

meanwhile, your little family run local shop will soon be extinct. we are no longer a nation of shopkeers

short of a global conversion to judaism, the only answer is buy your own pig

to get the water in the bacon the whole curing process takes place in pressuried brine containers, so instead of just letting fresh air and salt take the water out they use pressure to put more in. More water = more weight = more profit for the supermarket

take it out of the packet and let it dry out in the fridge - it works, honest

servers you right any way for having the munchies at 2 oclock in the mornin

I buy over 200lbs of bacon a week and most of thats ****e so I keep sending it back saying its full of watta.

They just credit my account so they know its **** what i\'m sending back other wise they wouldn\'t credit me account.
This leads on to another thing, If they kna I\'m going to send it back to them, why do they send it to me in the first place!!!.



Oh and I\'ve got two pigs in the shop as well, Mark,



But there just there to serve

how do you make a chicken do a years growing in 6 weeks

you feed em grower pellets ,hormone based product , also kept in tight confines sos not to run off the gained weight ,sounds like me lol

watery bacon nothing worse IMO ,stopped buying the pre packed stuff a while back due to the fact when you open the packet youve got to ring the stuff out ,i like a butcher who takes it off the joint while you stand there watching,not many do that these days,if they did meat flavoured veggie food that didnt taste like cardboard id consider converting but i like me meat

marc ? how much do you knock a whole lamb out at .jointed of course ? cant seem to get LAP anymore any reason for this ,being on the bone or something

[mark]

bri, castle bank butchers stanhope (think they have a shop in chester le street as well) will sell you any cut of meat you want. they can even tell you the name (well number) of the animal it came off and what farm its from.

all their meat is superb and cheaper than the supermarket.

they also sell bacon, cured on a local farm. proper bacon, dark pink, layer of fat and inch or more thick, and absolutely no water at all

[john.frain]

take up shooting, stuff the supermarkets we should try to live of the land as much as we can and also support our local butchers shops.

Ell I work on the bacon counter at a large store in Newcastle,we cure our own bacon/hams,we use a process known as dry cure,,, all we do is add a bit of salt+sugar and leave it alone for a week, or a month if it\'s gammon,,, then its hung for atleast a week before we sell it,longer in most cases,and I must admitt it\'s spot on,,,, no crap comming out the white stuff is preservative thats why bacon looks so pink it\'s full of phosphates and pollphosphates (spelling ???) so if you want a canny sarnie at 2am stick to the Dry Cure bacon,, we even do one that is marinaded in Brown Ale for a week then cured, Its great for hangovers

I work as an operations manager for a distribution company that distributes for Tesco. On the build up to christmas, we peaked at 2.6 million cases delivered in a 6 day period.We deliver to 74 stores in the north and north east.Dont you think that if we as a public, wasnt so greedy then the farmers etc, who inject pigs and the such would not have to do it to meet the demand put upon them?.I totally agree that Tesco are ruthless though, and I feel sorry for the small time shop keeper.
