Reply to: Irish Pigs were fed bread still in plastic bags

So the pigs are investigating the pigs ?

Oh the irony....

In "unapproved oil" whatever that is...

In the pharma industry, all the parts, spares and consumables have to part of a 'bill of materials'

if you use something thats not in the BOM , then it's 'unapproved' and you will get panned for it

In the Eighties I knew a number of vegan ALF people - they weren't the kind of loonies who planted firebombs in fur shops, but they were pretty damn zealous (no honey - exploitation of bees, FFS).

They used to feed their cats vegan cat food...

Methinks the problem lies therein....

not withdrawn beef products.

If you've ever had the misfortune to eat a McDonald's, you'll understand that the plastic wrapping actually adds to the flavour.

So no problems there.

According to the Telegraph 47 farms are affected. They include 10 pig and 37beef farms, but the Irish government has not withdrawn beef products.

Er....which version ?

So nothing to worry about feeding them foodstuffs wrapped in plastic then ? The pigs just unwrap it and chow down ?
Smart...very smart indeed...

the missus got me a mars bar on Saturday. Should I be worried ?

Do you have a small, thin curly pink....

A mate of mine used to get all the reject mars bars, he fed them to the pigs wrapper and all!

It just comes out the other end. He won loads of awards for the best flavoured pork!

What does that tell us about the safety of plastic used for food wrapping, even if it isn't eaten?!

Hmm, one moment we have scare stories about the dangers of dioxins in plastics (released on heating, e.g. in the microwave) only for there to be scientific rebuttal (the reason being that there are no dioxins in plastic, although there are other nasties). So now there are dioxins in plastic after all?

Pigs are great animals. They are intelligent and actually very clean and when you eventually grow bored of them you can eat them - something you tend not to do with a dog, unless you are Korean or something.

When I was a kid I used to get paid for looking after them. When the batch went to market I got the price of one of the piglets for my work. One time we had a sow drop 8 which is pretty small, but the piglets were pretty big. I picked the biggest and decided that would be mine and I was going to sell it seperately. I used to feed it away from its brothers and sisters ensuring that it ate as much as the other 7 put together (food was paid for by my folks - so free to me!). One day I came in to feed them and my fat little porker came 'running' to meet me were it promptly keeled over and died at my feet. It was like a big ping ball of blubber.
