Food Fascists Suffer Crushing Blow!

SOLO-NZ Press Release: Food Fascists Suffer Crushing Blow! Global Warming Next?

February 5, 2009

The new National Government is to be congratulated on Education Minister Anne Tolley's announcement that "schools will no longer be required to act as food police," says SOLO Principal Lindsay Perigo.

Ms. Tolley says she will remove the clause in National Administration Guideline (5) which states 'where food and beverages are sold on schools' premises, to make only healthy options available.'

"The requirement for school tuck shops to sell only alfalfa sprouts, celery sticks and spirulina was introduced by the socialist Clark-Cullen regime last year as a sop to the communist Greens," notes Perigo.

"Its chief effect was to send students off to local dairies in search of real food such as mince pies, food with the requisite energy, protein and B-vitamins for growing youngsters with fast metabolisms.

"Had Labour and the Greens remained in power there no doubt would have been a law to ban the sale of pies and other enjoyable foods to minors. And indeed, given National's track record of capitulating to Political Correctness, there was reason to fear they would introduce such a measure themselves. The fact that National has shown some testicles for a change is cause, however provisional, for hope, as is food fascist Sue Kedgley's spluttering, panic-stricken response to the rejection of her kill-joy nostrums.

"It is to be hoped that, as the world freezes, National will display similar courage and lead the way in rejecting Green Communism's myth of Man-Made Global Warming," Perigo concludes.
