What next? Calorie ration cards required for restaurant and supermarket purchases? They want evermore control of our lives.
“Pizzas will have to shrink or lose their toppings under Government plans to cap calories in our favourite treats in an obesity crackdown.
Drastic proposals from Public Health England state pizzas should contain no more than 928 calories and pies should be at most 695.
The guidelines will also apply to ready meals, sandwiches, cooking sauces, soups, burgers and processed meats - but those calorie counts have yet to be revealed.
This is part of the PHE's target to reduce calorie counts in every day foods by 20 per cent by 2024, after previously claiming the UK needs to go on a diet…”

Just cut the pizzas in 4 slices so the folks can’t pig out eating 6.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown
This should actually be a lot of fun to watch. For years the Euros have been saying that they're not as fat as Americans because they consume a lot less food as measured by volume. The flip side was always that what little they did eat was packed with calories. Let's see how this whole mess plays out.

Afternoon mate, Constable Smith here, we were flagged you were trying to order two pizzas for yourself. Let's take you down to the station and talk about why you are doing this, and especially explain why you were asking for bacon on them. It all sounds very hateful and not in support of our new pizza size regulations.

We have one in our area called New York Giant. Back in the ages when my kid was in soccer and little league was what we bought. 2 of these and the team would be content. Run out, disaster.

Dagwood's Pizza in Peachtree Corners GA (Atlanta area) has "the Big Fella", a 24-inch pizza. Saw a lady trying to carry one out to her car. She needed help. I think they are a franchise operation. Used to go there one day most weeks for lunch when still working nearby. Since I retired, I stop by a couple of times a month for a couple of slices and my wife's favorite sausage and grilled onion sub.
