  • This will make fuck all difference. Employers already do background checks, I’ve always had to give some kind of ID whenever I’ve started a new job, and there will always been employers that don’t do any checks.

    In theory, this should be one of those things that should make accessing services easier, but we all know this will be a foot in the door to more authoritarian bullshit and be yet another opportunity to show government incompetence.








  • Eggs obviously aren’t UPF, no. Eggs are in group 1 of the NOVA classification system. Using things like eggs and cornflower are fine, it’s the industrial emulsifiers that are the problem.

    Here’s a pretty good summary:

    There is nothing wrong with emulsifiers per se – think egg yolk, cornflour and other unprocessed / minimally-processed ingredients that are used in cooking. It’s the category of industrially created or modified emulsifiers over which questions hang. Examples commonly used in IDP include sodium stearoyl lactylate (E481); mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471); and (deep breath) diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, aka DATEM (E472e).

    Ultra Processed Foods. I should have written that in the first place rather than use the acronym, apologies!

    The definition is a bit flakey but they’re essentially foods that contain emulsifiers, stabilisers, modified starches and so on. Things that you wouldn’t find in a domestic kitchen. But also foods that have undergone so much processing that they’re barely food. There’s growing evidence that they’re driving obesity and driving a wide range of health problems and even mental health. It’s eye opening how much of our food is UPF and quite difficult and expensive to get away from.








  • On one hand it’s great that they’re letting the people vote and debate things like this, but I can’t help feel like that this just sets the tone for the party: every single detail needs committees, debates and votes that take a painstakingly long time. Is that how they’d operate if they were in government? There’s always going to be factions that argue and delay things. They’ll become a bit of a joke if they can’t make timely decisions on their positions on matters that require an action relatively quickly.
