Chef Gordon Ramsay Calls for Gastronomic Totalitarianism
There isn't much that moonbats wouldn't place under the control of the State — including which fruits and vegetables we eat:
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay says British restaurants should be fined if they serve fruit and vegetables which are not in season. He told the BBC that fruit and vegetables should be locally-sourced and only on menus when in season. Mr Ramsay said he had already spoken to Prime Minister Gordon Brown about outlawing out-of-season produce.
Regulating when we can eat which fruits and vegetables would allegedly reduce harmless carbon emissions, which is the justification-du-jour for most every pointless encroachment on individual liberty.
Dictates Ramsay:
I don't want to see asparagus on in the middle of December. I don't want to see strawberries from Kenya in the middle of March. I want to see it home grown.
Tough luck for Kenyan farmers. But then, if moonbats could care less what happens to Africans, they wouldn't restrict DDT, which used to save millions of them from death by malaria.
As he shoves his way toward the front of the fashionable envirofascism train, Ramsay bemoans that Britain follows trends and fads when it comes to food. Carried away by his stylish rhetoric, he gasps:
There should be stringent laws, licensing laws, to make sure produce is only used in season and season only. If we don't restrict our movements within this industry of seasonal-produce only, then the whole thing will spiral out of control.
Clearly we'll need to impose martial law if people don't stop desecrating Gaia with those Kenyan strawberries.

On a tip from Ian from the EUSSR.

Gordon Ramsay is a mentally unbalanced whack job. Thats why his TV show HELLS KIRCHEN is so popular - people love watching mentally unstable individuals who are always minutes away from going berzerk and randomly stabbing people with kitchen utensils.

And he seemed so sensible. Must be something about being famous that makes peoples brains turn to mush.

He did? When was that then? :)

He's gone from being a totalitarian in the kitchen to a totalitarian wannabe in the political arena. A natural progression, I suppose.
At least he left out the profanity this time.

I've never understood the appeal and popularity of Gordon Ramsay. From what I understand, he's not even a very respected chef. Add to that the fact that he acts like such a prick to everyone. I remember on Regis and Kelly once, he and Regis were trying to make a dish, Regis made a small mistake, and Ramsay was really laying into him as much as he could without attracting the attention of the stricter ABC network censors. Kelly commented that it was "The longest I've seen him (Ramsay) refrain from saying the F word."
If I were one of those Hell's Kitchen contestants and he was all in my face like that, it would take every iota of restraint and Christian love in my body to keep from knocking him into next week.

I throughly despise this pretentious teabag. The whole show is nothing but let's see some poor cook schlubs try to do their job while this fuckpig hamstrings and yells at them. I so would love to see one of the contestants take a nice sized Henkel knife and gaff "Chef" in the back of the neck after "Chef" rags said contestant about the rissotto being not right.

"reduce carbon emissions"...AND PUT PEOPLE OUT OF WORK!!
Every freakin day I seem to hear about another well-intentioned moonbat idea gone bad by way of unintended consequences.

I've never understood why the people on that show didn't band together and have a revolution against this douchebag-- you'd think with all those sharp things and combustable materials in the kitchen an uprising would pretty much run itself. I can't even stand to watch the commercials with this asshat on them.
The Fox Network... killing entertainment one bad show at a time.

Great! Maybe scurvy will make a comeback.
If moonbats get their way and we are forced to quit using insecticides, quit draining swamps, quit eating transported food, and start using "natural remedies" - or wait 9 months for substandard socialized treatments, alot of medieval maladies will be back.

Next Weeks on the HELL KITCHEN menu: SOYLENT GREEN !!! Using past contestants as the main ingredient - it has a full bodies flavor and goes great with red wine.

Gordon, Gordon, GORDON! Don't make me come down there and trim you up like a saddle of veal. I was the original telly chef and don't you forget that! In England, local fruit and vegetables can be simply ghastly at times, and if you don't stop this utter nonsense, I'll send the higher authorities down to rectify you.
P>S> Gordon, you might end up working for me up here.

@Ian, perhaps I'm just a little biased. My father used to be a chef before he moved into property development and he says Ramsey is one of the less profane and bossy chefs he's known of. The kitchen industry is a very, very nasty one to be in by all accounts. Your mileage may vary. :)

Why just food? If everything was restrictd to "local" then, for instance, he would not be wearing that Egyptian cotton outfit, and...
Sorry, interrupted by sudden urge to regurgitate.

The first four words of the first blockquote say it all: "Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay"

Go figure...Gordo is a Brit; comes from a socialist government...aren't many of the Bobby Boys a bunch of moonbats to begin with? Go figure why the United States fought them off in 1775-76!

Is he saying that refrigeration is now EEEEVIL, too?
Mr. e.
Those "bobby boys" of '76 were empire builders, don't forget that!

Restrictions on agricultural imports in Europe condemn Africa to perpetual poverty. This is just one more excuse to keep the black man down.

Agenda-based misrepresentations led to the banning of CFCs, which made refridgeration more expensive, punishing poor black third world residents, and that ban has not been lifted in spite of the clear evidence that the "Ozone Hole" was cyclical and not a consequence of human activity.
Agenda-based misrepresentations led to the banning of DDT, which liberated America and Europe from Malaria carrying mosquitos, and that ban has not been lifted in spite of the clear evidence that DDT is no more harmful then the expensive alternatives and the 1-1/2 million third world poor, mostly children, that die every year.
