You are what you eat - jolly olde England
Now this is downright silly (and I'm not talking about Monty Python).

The Belmont Club found this story in the
UK Telegraph about a new generation of food nannies:
Breakfast of champions
WRAP your head around this. The Telegraph reports that �food champions� will literally be coming to homes in Britain to make sure they don�t throw away leftovers, eat spoiled groceries and do not otherwise harm the planet.Home cooks will also be told what size portions to prepare, taught to understand �best before� dates and urged to make more use of their freezers.
The door-to-door campaign, which starts tomorrow, will be funded by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a Government agency charged with reducing household waste.
The officials will be called �food champions�. However, they were dismissed last night as �food police� by critics who called the scheme an example of �excessive government nannying�.
If any one of those idiots came around here, they would be escorted off our property.
One of Richard's commentors mentioned a short story by F. Paul Wilson first published in 1987 called Lipidleggin. Another reader found it online. A wonderful read and soon to be a reality and not just science fiction:
