How much water gets injected into much of the UK meat we eat? They will
be using chlorinated mains water and not some fancy expensive spring water.

I recall an ad in a trade magazine some while ago
"Why sell meat when you can sell water". It was promoting equipment to
mechanically recover meat using high pressure water. The resultant
slurry was then converted to sausages.

Salt solution and protein amongst other substances you don't want to know about
are injected and massaged into chicken and pork. The protein is to stop
the salt
solution running out of the meat. http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/267204

And hormones are injected into poultry and cattle on an industrial
scale, but some would make a fuss about a bit of chlorine on the outside
because it comes from the US.

Not only will we be getting chlorinated chicken but also higher
levels of hormones and antibiotics in meat


the taste of hormone treated beef in the US beats by a country mile the
taste of beef in the UK

and that's from quality restaurants (in the UK)

I look forward to the day that it can be served here

Reminds me of my time on a training course in Nantwich many years
back. We had one "trainee" who used to swear by Capstan Full Strength.
Great cigarettes, "never did me any harm". We didn't need an alarm
call in the mornings. The coughing was more than adequate for the
entire establishment.

Nantwich? No. I wasn't aware of a BT training place there. Swynford
was the only training establishment that I was aware of, although some
of the exchange buildings in the larger towns would have had the
capability of laying on classes.

Isn't the lack of taste more to do with being chilled to death
immediately after slaughter rather than letting it mature at a higher
temperature?

There is a different taste to 28 day matured beef than the usual
supermarket stuff.
I prefer the cheaper not matured for 28 days.

If you like it rare you may differ.

I never knew hormones could be so tasty!


It makes grovelling around in the undergrowth looking for something
natural and edible sound Heavenly.

Cows have evolved without trips to the chemist for hormone treatment.

Up to the point where man thought he could improve and cheapen his
production methods by using feed totally unsuitable for ruminants they
didn't have BSE either.

There was a TV prog. where they interviewd americans in the UK and ask them to try McDs fries from the UK which I differtn here in the UK to those in the USA and apparently they taste quite differnt (don't ask me what as I haven't eaten then for 2 decades) The american students agreed that the USA fries tasted much better, then they were told why and they were given a list of added ingriedients (mostly chemical) added to US fries the students the pulled a face and said they wouldn't be eating them again.

Strange, I thought the chips were the one fairly natural thing. I'm
sure they were in trouble in some part of the world because of the use
of beef fat.

Probably not kosher or halal.

Not my problem, I dont eat the garbage.

Yep

I fail to see any reason why, if were are going to have an NHS that buys in
services from private concerns, that these concern shouldn't be American
(based or owned). If they do an acceptable job at a lower price, what's the
problem.

This headline appears to be an extrapolation from the real (but highly
unlikely) fear that the proposed clause in TTIP allowing US firms to sue EU
governments if they pass laws that restrict their right to compete would
enable US firms to argue that the existence of a European style privatised
health system was in breach of that rule.

This fear is easily overcome by explicitly excluding Health Care from that
clause (if we have to have it at all). It would be a nonsense for the US to
suggest that Europe has to magic up an "insurance based" health care system
overnight to comply with a new trade deal.

Whether this false interpretation has been fed to the newspapers by the
Labour party or whether they invented it themselves, I have no idea.

Because that wouldn't happen. Private companies, including those from
the USA want to make a profit and that doesn't equate to the best
service.

oh I agree it's unlikely

It's not entirely impossible though

There are already some routine services run by private concerns that the HNS
buys in

Sister had to go to one of them recently. It was operated by ex-NHS staff
which had set up the clinic specifically to bid for the work

I think it unlikely that TPTB would allow this to happen yes.

Think of the chaos it would create if it did happen

But it could have been run equally well, probably better, by the NHS
directly.


This headline appears to be an extrapolation from the real (but highly
unlikely) fear that the proposed clause in TTIP allowing US firms to sue
EU
governments if they pass laws that restrict their right to compete would
enable US firms to argue that the existence of a European style privatised
health system was in breach of that rule.


You think this is unlikely - I'm glad you are so optimistic.


I think it unlikely that TPTB would allow this to happen yes.


I hope so ... but when money gets in the way....

Think of the chaos it would create if it did happen


The government seems to embrace chaos ATM.

Neither will UK Citizens either.

Taking back control is a wonderfull idea isn't it?


Just go easy on the chlorinated chicken fillets, the oncology wards
have very large tills

Except that the chicken is not chlorinated, is simply washed in
chlorinated water. It is not a health risk. The problem is the reason
for that washing - the chickens are raised in very poor, overcrowded
conditions, leading to contamination that requires the disinfecting. It
is the poor animal welfare rather than health risks that mean we should
not import US chicken.

And chickens often taste of something - the fish meal that they've been
eating.

Yes. If you ever visit Denmark, don't bother eating their eggs.

Really?

Chickens were kept for eggs. Not to eat. Those that were eaten needed lots
of cooking to make tender. Killing any bugs nicely.

We regularly ate cockerils from our flock using the logic they were worth feeding until big enough to make a meal but apart from one to fertilise a few eggs the other male birds had no value

And with that control, you get to chose what government you want.
If you don't want a government that does X, Y, Z, then don't
****ing vote for them!

Oh no! The Toreez will do this thing I don't like!!!
So don't vote for them. Gee. Is democracy such a hard thing for
people in this country to grasp? The whole thrust of the Remain
campaign actually was "we are so thick, so stupid, we can't be
allowed to chose what sort of government to vote for, we must
have the EU telling us what to do." No wonder they lost.

No wonder the EU can do some things we don't like when we elect ******s
like Farage to its parliament.

I'll bet even the majority of those who voted for remain in the
referendum didn't bother to vote for any MEP. (UK turnout 36%).

Reinforcing my very point re peoples apathy regarding such abstract
things.

They may have a preference on the local elections because it's local
.... and the people they are voting for are potentially accessible. The
same applies at arms length for the national elections but it's
getting a bit abstract by the time it get's to the EU (or your local
Police Commissioner etc).

This supports my consideration that few put much effort into the
effort the EU vote, especially those who voted to leave (to change
from the status quo) who did so completely blindly (as we *still*
don't know exactly what the leave deal will be, let alone the
predicted impact on the UK population).

Cheers, T i m
