I doubt that Cadbury's is entirely to blame for the addition of **** to
their foodstuff no matter how reprehensible we all find their conduct

Once upon a time all products were -as far as it was possible, produced
to the highest standards. That is how prepackaged foods got a market
place over real foods. Real food, fresh food, required a long wheelbase
from farm to city. Stuff perished and unscrupulous merchants got rid of
it as best they could.

The alternative was to buy tinned and preserved stuff that was produced
by people with great reputations.

I bet the fools responsible for the penny pinching are regretting
things there at the moment. I hope they have to eat their ****.

Once upon a time people accepted that they loved in a world full of bugs
that were out to get them.

Before they built sanitised little boxes full of plastics that gave them
asthma, and peered out in horror at the ugly nasty world outside,
through plastic net curtains, and only ate things full of chemicals that
came in boxes with brightly coloured labels just like the toys they were
brought up on.

Replacing the general thrill of living in a real world with the
synthetic thrill of reading the tabloids and imagining the worst that
could happen to them...
