Let Them Eat Cake

New Year…Same shit.

Dentists have criticised “workplace cake culture”, saying the sharing of sweet treats in the office is contributing to health problems.

The Faculty of Dental Surgery said people should cut down on eating cake and biscuits at work as it added to obesity and poor oral health.

Professor Nigel Hunt said the UK needed “a culture change” at work.

Well, yes, we do need a culture change. We need to wash out the petri dishes these parasites are spawning in. Because, of course, the occasional cake to celebrate a promotion, leaving do, or birthday is going to make all our teeth fall out and our waists to burgeon.

I’ve indulged in my time and as I look down at my 31″ waist and in the mirror at my rows of healthy teeth, I realise that these charlatans are, as usual, making shit up. It really is time we stopped funding these people.

Tips to cut back on sugar included keeping it as a lunchtime treat and hiding snacks out of view.

Because we are all five-year-olds who cannot resist if we see someone else eating cake. I mean, seriously?

Professor Hunt, dean of the faculty at the Royal College of Surgeons, said it may be a case of managers wanting to reward staff, colleagues wanting to celebrate or people bringing presents back from their holidays that sees sugary snacks going into the workplace.

Yes? And? So?

But he said it was detrimental to employees’ health and they should make a New Year’s resolution to “combat cake culture” in 2017.

Bollocks on steroids. We have no need whatsoever to combat anything other than the vile little health Nazis who infest the public health racket.

“While these sweet treats might be well meaning, they are also contributing to the current obesity epidemic and poor oral health,” he added.

No they aren’t because we don’t have an obesity epidemic. Some people are fat. Most of us are not. The occasional cake will not rot your teeth. The obesity epidemic, as with the drinking culture, is made-up nonsense based upon junk science. The BMI reading used to measure it is unreliable to the point of being completely discredited. These jackanapes have moved the measure steadily downwards so that we are all teetering on the point of being overweight when it is perfectly clear from direct observation that we are nothing of the sort. Again, like the drinking guidelines, is simply plucked out of the air with no actual scientific support. It’s fantasy and is being used to keep these parasites in their nice little taxpayer-funded sinecures. Time it stopped, frankly.

“We need a culture change in offices and other workplaces that encourages healthy eating and helps workers avoid caving in to sweet temptations such as cakes, sweets and biscuits.”

What we need is that multi-person gallows and a good supply of hempen rope.

Meanwhile on the same subject.

Children are packing in so much sugar at breakfast that half their daily allowance has already been eaten before school, Public Health England says.

It warns that sugary cereals, juices and spreads are all damaging to health.

Rotting teeth, ballooning waistlines and long-term health problems like type 2 diabetes are caused by unhealthy diets.

Officials are encouraging parents to use an app that reveals the sugar content of food and drink.

Three days into the new year and the hectoring is as incessant as ever, like the drawing of fingernails down a blackboard (can I say that these days? Ed), the screeching of these creatures is as irritating as ever. It is not up to them to decide what we are allowed. Daily allowances are a personal matter and for children it is for parents to decide not PHE.

A survey of 200 parents with children aged four to 10 revealed the problem starts at breakfast.

Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick! That’s not a survey, that junk science. It is statistically insignificant; it is meaningless bullshit.

Nothing changes.
