Where’s the (Contaminated) Beef

AuthorPhilip Hickey CategoryIrish Beef Scandal DateDecember 20th, 2008

Just in today from the independant.ie is a story the states
“Even though the amount of carcinogenic dioxin in beef was found to be double that of the contaminated pork, the risk is much lower for several reasons”
Yes you read right, a batch of contaminated Irish Beef has twice the amount of cancer causing agents in it than the Pork scandal samples of late but it will not be taken off of Irish shelfs neither withdrawn from sale beacause?
“Consumers also tend to eat much more pork on a daily basis than they do beef. Consequently, someone would have to eat beef for every meal over a long period of time before they were at any greater risk of contamination”
Well thats just great, what if you dont eat pork?
FSAI toxicologist Rod Evans says “The risk is 300 times lower than the risk of pork,”
Eh? even though its twice as contaminated?
Rod Evans “Dioxin accumulates in animal fat rather than lean meat. Since people consume more animal fat in pork than in beef”
And if I dont eat pork and use suet or beef fat as and baking ingredient then what?

Just for the record, if you read these pages then you know this already, I do eat pork but i also eat beef and we use suet in my home cooking so how should I be feeling right now

 

Scandalicious, Sacrelious Sick Pig Syndrome

AuthorPhilip Hickey CategoryHomer Simpson, Irish Pork Scandal DateDecember 10th, 2008

I quote a wise man

Homer: Are you saying you’re never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

We’ve just been given “the all clear” for the “Sick Pig Syndrome” from Europe, dare you believe it? I feel that the Irish public are becoming Homers “wonderful, magical animal” a great laughing stock of Europrean breeds stuffed to the hilt with pisioned reteroric and misfead pamphlets of beauracratic food for ‘escaping the scandal’ thoughts. If we were an endangered species then our Polititians would find a way to keep their jobs alive in their cold dead fingers

I’d like to wish all of you the Great Irish people around the country a safe and happy Christmas, no matter what you eat, you are still Irish.

George Orwell said “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” I’d rather be an honest animal

You’re a Sick Pig

AuthorPhilip Hickey CategoryIrish Pork Scandal DateDecember 6th, 2008

Okay everybody, just stop it right now, EATING IRISH PORK that’s been infected with undisclosed toxins (possibly cancer casing agents) since September 2008. Its taken the responsible agencies 3 months to declare their findings it this new National Disgrace yet again It’s another  Irish Pork pie in the Face. So who’s been telling porkies and which farms ,10 is the number, have been mentioned using an illegal poisonous feed in their Pigs diets, that was detected in Pork fat.

I for one love Pork, but I for one have consumed numerous Irish pork Sausages, Irish Rashers, Irish Ham , Crackling and Irish Roast Pork dinners in the last three months. I don’t know about you but i’ve had a number a strange random illnesses recently that could have come from any source including my diet.

You are what you eat and I’m sending back all Irish Pork and then I’m off to give LIDL some more business. Long live LIDL the land of quality German Pork produce.

Why did my brother, whom I haven’t seen nor heard from for at least a year, take it upon himself to call me tonight to warn me about this tonight at 10pm and why is the first mention of the story to be found on an English Website? BBC Story that I could find? I’ll tell you why because he knows what I know and that is our great Country leaders always withhold any story of this magnitude to stop their heads rolling out of the money pit and into the world of the blindfolded Irish person who hears no evil and sees no evil till its too bloody late.

I am sick of being sick at the moment and I am being sickened by the Illegal carry-ons in this great country’s corridors of imagined power, all I can hear is echos of once great men and women who once cared for us as a nation. We need change out of respect to ourselves and by God we need it now

We are the Irish people , not guinea pigs

Ex-Fas Boss and his ‘Chicken feed’ Expenses

AuthorPhilip Hickey CategoryFAS, Rody Molloy DateDecember 4th, 2008

Bah Humbug it was only €643,000 come on for Gods sakeIn 2003 Rody Molloy as the “state agency’s director-general” declared that honesty, integrity and public accountability were the “three core values” for his reign in FAS. As Rody wasn’t available for comment today we pulled the closest to the original off the streets to defend his case, so meet Ms Molly Roddy to counteract these allegations found in these online news articles in The Press Association and The Times Online.

 ”Molly how can you justify the expenditure of €643,000 over four years on transatlantic travel, as well as clocking up lavish expenses on beauty care, golf and dinners?”

Molly  “Well he does say that in The Press Association artice that ‘flights were wrong’ so this means that if God meant us to fly then he have given us wings at zero cost to the tax payer”
Molly ”As for beauty care, sure doesn’t his friend Mary and spouse need theses little luxuries and they give the tips out of their own pocket to be sure, think of it as a face lift for the country’s healthy image”
Molly  “…and golf and dinners in fancy places and high class restaurants placed on the executive credit card? sure it was just the convenience of having it to hand at the time and his eyes were closed during the transaction but as Homer Simpson says ‘If I can’t see it, it’s not illegal’ ”
Molly “Thank god you not asking about the ‘cough’ pay for view movies on the bloody card too, I couldn’t tell you a single actors name or film title but I’m sure they were worth watching and paying for, yeah dam good and for ‘chicken feed’ prices too”

“So Molly what about the Fas NASA study Scheme that costs us €1.5 million?”

Molly: “only Fine Gael would say that ‘It is outrageous that FAS would spend virtually the entire budget on advertising and promotion.’ Sure what have they every done for this country, eh? And we only spent €804,533 out of €866,629 — 93% of it in 2005 on  advertising and PR, which means basically that the right amount of officials were flown to Florida to make sure the students were studying and if they weren’t we’d launch them into space, besides the rest a huge 7% was spent entirely on the students”

“Well Molly what is FAS doing with the €1 billion per year budget?”

Molly: “We’re managing it, we’re spending it in the best way we can and that’s always been 100% on the Public and sure aren’t we all technically part of the public anyway”

AuthorPhilip Hickey CategoryHairdos, Mary Harney DateDecember 1st, 2008

We’ve all haired about the missterious €410 FAS funded hairdo that is alleged to have happened across the mallet that is Mary Harneys head without having to stop and ask direction for payment of €400 plus a €10 tip, very nice.

Will the real and honest to goodness hairdo please stand up.
