British Bureauweenies to Impose Food Rationing?

Posted by Dave Blount at November 2, 2007 8:09 AM

Most kids have been advised by their parents to finish their plates. Many have wondered why they should have to, when they aren't hungry anymore, except for dessert. Enviromoonbats now have an answer: because if they don't, the polar bears will perish from global warming!

U.K. Environment minister Joan Ruddock yells that some of the food we don't finish goes into landfills to rot, emitting methane, which in sufficiently massive quantities could conceivably alter the temperature. Ruddock takes the issue so seriously that she has ominously warned:

We cannot fail to do what is necessary.

British bureauweenies have already recommended applying totalitarian measures to ensure that Britons don't overeat. My guess is that they will soon kill two birds with one stone by rationing food. After all, if Brits were ever going to rebel against the authoritarian moonbattery that is smothering their civilization, they probably would have done it by now.
