Oh No, Not Again!

The health fascists are out in force yet again. You know them. These are the people who want to control our lives via taxation and ensure that a pint of bitter is so expensive that a large percentage of the population cannot afford to buy even one in our society where the buying power of our money is plummeting.
I am about to have a small sausage roll with my breakfast which will have the new obesity police going apoplectic. They want to tax such foods out of reach of all but the very rich - who can happily be allowed to rot in any case!
I bought an offer in Morrisons which gave me the aforementioned cholesterol boosters at a mere 12.5p each.
So. If we wish to control what people eat, how much tax should government add onto this delicacy?
How about £2? - That should stop the evil trade and if this fails, how about jailing the vendors - not so much the mules and small time suppliers in local butchers' shops but those who produce this evil. Why not hang a few pig farmers pour encourager les autres?
Maybe we do not quite need to go that far - yet. Why not add health warnings to packaging?
What of all those people who may become passive eaters by sitting in the same room as a sausage roll eater?
READERS TAKE WARNING!
SAUSAGE ROLLS CAN LEAD TO THE HARD STUFF - MELTON MOWBRAY PORK PIES!
