[Closed] My big mouth in the supermarket.

I think i'd have told you to **** off and stop being a sanctimonious ****

then proceed to pick apart your shopping pointing out all your shortcomings to your equally sanctimonious wife

Is it not illegal to use growth hormone on animals here? We don't import US beef for that reason.

I wonder if someone might want to make animal shaped products out of healthy food - you know, for the kids.

Suggseys' daughter to be phased in by 2025? 😮

One of my wife's very young cousins (6? 7?) suffers from a mental illness as well as Down Syndrome; he LITERALLY won't eat certain things at certain times. For a while he would only eat Nutella sandwiches.

What do you do? Feed him [i][u]something[/i][/u]? Or nothing - and then he ends up in hospital on a drip? That really is the only alternative due to the dis-order he has; there is no real reasoning with him and the "when he's hungry, he'll eat" thing doesn't apply as he doesn't function that way intellectually; he doesn't grasp that what he is doing is harming himself.

The chances that this couples child is like that is pretty low but doesn't mean you have to pass judgement on everyone based on [i]your[/i] presumptions.

Thinking it is one thing; I do it everytime I walk past the likes of Macca's or KFC and someone who is obviously obese is chewing down on a big mac 🙄 but save the comment for the wife when you are in the car, surely? Then it's just between you two...

Trimix... what the chuff has it got to do with you what people buy and eat. I'd have told you to **** right off. Pompous clown.

You are Mrs Merton and I claim my five pounds

What a bellend.

I don't for one minute believe the OP

Walter Mitty IMO

Trimix......Self righteous ****

Well, he might be. And he might be rude.

But he's right.

In defence of Trimix - I often say things out loud that I should have kept in my head (and jump queues) - it's a cultural thing I think a bit too, people aren;t as inclined to take offence quite so easily where I come from. (and will have you up for queue jumping, politely but firmly rather than muttering and looking at you firmly)

So fair point but next time remember where you live and just give them one of those British Class War superior looks.

I wonder...during dinosaur times...did they have Turkey shaped Dinosaur pieces...?

I can see it now...two Neanderthal couples, having the same conversation during a hunt or food gathering exercise.
"Ugggh mammoth. Dino shapes. Urrgh, how can eat urrgh shit"
"Urrgh mammoth, All will eat. Urrgh. mammoth."

Back then the OP would probably have had a spear in the head.

This is assuming:
a). They had spears back then.
b). Ignoring there being no Turkeys until that chortly Mathews bloke invented them.

Trimix I bet your wife thinks your a pompous fanny too.

Has this thread got unneccessarily abusive? I think maybe it has. 🙂

Hark at you lot! 😀

If I had some crap food in my shopping trolley and the bloke behind made a comment about it I think I'd agree with him too. I'm always telling my kid off for not wanting healthy food, but you have to feed them something and sometimes its crap.
I don't think anyone (except a f&^*ing moron) would actually hit, or even abuse someone for such a comment. In reality that is. Obviously, on a forum full of virtual hard nuts, it's different.

Trimix is right. And it strikes me that there are a lot of people on this thread being way more sanctimonious and ****like than he was originally. Is it so hard to hear the truth?

And comments about someone's wife when there's nothing in the OP that gives anything away about what she was up to in this exchange are bang out of order.

In defence of Trimix who is a top bloke ... if you read the thread properly he was talking to his wife! The bloke buying the dinosaurs engaged him in conversation, so once that has occurred I say "fair game"! Self-righteous ... I don't think so! But wouldn't we all be boring if we had the same opinions!!

Trimix has gone all quiet.Wonder why?

(Probably trying to get his high horse through the doors at his local supermarket!)

I wish it was me buying the offensive food. I would have loved to tell you to f*ck right off at the top of my voice.

I think you've made the story up anyway, presumably hoping for everyone on here to hail you hero.
surely nobody is that much of a dickhead. Are they?

I once made a rather loud derogatory comment about 2 bottles of very cheap chardonnay and a 3l bottle of white lightening that had been left on the side of the till, while waiting for a couple to finish packing up their goods. I had assumed that some brizzol underage scummers had been refused by the cashier ...

... only for the supervisor to pitch up a short while later and put it through the till for the underage cashier. Purchasers of said cheap plonk shot me a dirty look and scuttled off. I felt like an utter git.

Gary_C maybe Trimix is at work busy! Unlike the rest of us lazy buggers!
Incorrect I've just heard that Trimix is out preaching to fat people!!!

[i]I think you've made the story up anyway, presumably hoping for everyone on here to hail you hero.[/i]

I can guarantee that he's not made this up... But like I said before, he's right.

I can guarantee that he's not made this up.

I take it you were there then?

There really are a lot of het-up posters on this thread aren't there? "I'm indignant at the thought that someone would dare to pass comment on my choice of gristle-based, novelty shaped food for my children."

Crispedwheel yup that's what I was thinking!!!!!!

Is it so hard to hear the truth?

Well I certainly don't have a problem with the truth.

And according to Trimix the truth is, quote : [i]" told him its made in a factory from battery turkeys, stuffed full of growth hormones and water."[/i]

Now what I [i]do[/i] have a problem with, is liars. And according to the Bernard Matthews website, Bernard Matthews Farms don't, and have never, battery farmed - no turkey is kept in a cage - they are all reared free-range, or indoors. They also claim not to use any growth promoters or hormones at all. Nor any artificial flavours or colours in any of their products.

We know that Bernard Matthews are lying, because Trimix has told us (and the geezer in the supermarket queue) the truth. That's why I think Trimix should approach, armed with his evidence, Trading Standards.

For a company to knowingly lie like that to the public, is a very serious offence - so Bernard Matthews can expect a massive fine. For the sake of little children everywhere, I reckon Trimix should do it.

ernie,did the op say that they were a Bernard Matthews product?

supply and demand.
crap exists cos people buy and want it.

(tho i think its scandelous how little education as to what is in our food exists- dont know if putting the world to rights at the checkout counts as "educating" tho... :lol:)

Does the op have kids?

Im not sure whether I love STW or hate it? Some threads are excellent, funny and interesting. Others, like this one, are just full of bumders.

😈

[i]Im not sure whether I love STW or hate it[/i]

Thats what's so bloody addictive though innit.

did the op say that they were a Bernard Matthews product?

Good point. "Turkey Dinosaurs" are a product produced by Bernard Matthews Farms. Are there other, less scrupulous producers, who market "Turkey Dinosaurs" which are [i]'made in a factory from battery turkeys, stuffed full of growth hormones'[/i] ?

Was that the problem - Trimix noticed that the Turkey Dinosaurs weren't Bernard Matthews ones, and he was incensed that the muppet in the queue was buying the wrong ones ?

Does the op have kids?

The usual get out clause for being irrational, self centered and always right returns again! 🙄

Simple enough question I thought. If he doesn't then he has no idea what it's like to feed a kid. One may well try to impose their strict eating regimes on them but it doesn't always work.

Trimix......Self righteous ****

Rubbish. Too many kids eat nothing but shite these days. I know, I saw it on TV.

ernie, Fred's using your account again.

One may well try to impose their [b]strict eating regimes[/b] on them but it doesn't always work.

By "strict eating regimes" i presume you mean a balanced diet, with all the nutrients a child needs to grow up healthy and fit?

Still, it would be interesting to know if the OP does have kids so we can put there comments into perspective.

If he doesn't then he has no idea what it's like to feed a kid

[i]By "strict eating regimes" i presume you mean a balanced diet, with all the nutrients a child needs to grow up healthy and fit?[/i]

No by 'strict regimes' I mean someone that won't allow turkey dinos in the house. My son ate a chicken nugget once - he's still very fit and never has colds, etc.

I used to love turkey dinosaurs, they go especially well with those smiley potato faces and baked beans. One of the things about having small kids is you get to eat that kind of thing... Might go out and buy some later now I've been reminded about them.

Hello forum, just come back from riding my high horse, your right, it did not fit into the supermarket.

I cried my self laughing at this thread - very funny. But the comments are also quite interesting.

To any doubters, I must say, I did actually make the comment in the supermarket - not very quietly either. Those that know me will probably agree it was fairly restrained.

Perhaps I am a bit self righteous, but I dont mind and I encourage good healthy debate. Im happy to learn from well constructed debate. What I do mind is the fact that some poor kid is having to eat shite food due to her ill educated parents feeding it too her.

Of course, Im assuming they are ill educated and poor. But given we were not in Waitrose and they were buying crap food Im happy to stand by that assumption. I could be wrong, but its just an assumption.

I would be genuinely surprised if anyone here thought it was good food, well farmed and sincerely advertised. To me it plainly is not. Whats it to do with me, not much as its not my kid. But I do feel sorry for her and annoyed that companys can market such crap and people are not taught the basics about nutrition. I also think people should speak out when things seem wrong and not just abdicate responsibility.

Kids are not born fat, they are fed fat by parents.

I do have a biased opinion when it comes to food, I was brought up in southern Africa where there were no fat kids and food was scarce. I lived on a farm where you caught/grew the food first.

This forum is constantly speaking out (albeit to itself) about shite products / service. Just mention your off to Halfrauds to buy a full suspension bike for your kid for Xmas and lots of posters will give you their opinion.

Im just compelled to say what I think, out loud - I know this can be seen as rude or selfrighteous, but thats OK, its partly true. However, it dosent mean it should not be said.

But nevermind, it was a funny thread. I hope no one finds my half serious retort too unfunny in an otherwise very funny thread.

Im off to my freezing garage now to clean my bike.

Actually I dont have kids and wont have kids, but thats another forum thread.

Now, a what tyres for ice thread is overdue.

[i]What I do mind is the fact that some poor kid is having to eat shite food due to her ill educated parents feeding it too her.[/i]

Really? I couldn't care less what other kids eat, well 'couldn't care less' isn't quite right perhaps it's just that it really is nothing to do with me. Your latest post has certainly proved something - that you really are as sanctimonious and self righteous as you first appeared.

This is all very Jamie Oliver.

Now, a what tyres for ice thread is overdue.
