I do indeed work in the food industry.

I have just spoken to our company nuitritionalist who told me that: Each of the ingredients used is on a database that contains full nutritional information. This database is purchased from a 3rd party and is verified by the goverment.
We can therefore workout the nutritional value of each product because we know what the ingredients are

I know that we have recently reworked a lot of our recipies to drastically reduce the salt content. There where loads of TV ads about how healthy and wholesome the products are. As a large manufacturer I think that they really do make an effort to provide good quality, healthy food.

What would you do in the next minute if a million dollar appears in your hands?

And I also add:

¿What could happen if you stand up in the middle of your rush work hour and stand up in front of your boss and tells him that he`s fired?

What is stopping a country simply printing more money :?: Does anybody check :?:

For example: The UK oil reserves are running short, could the Royal Mint just print some more dosh so that Tony Blair could purchase an oil field elsewhere


I have always wondered that but never got a satisfactory answer :-?

:-k :?:

It's all a question of supply and demand...

The problem is, if you print more money, there is so much of it in circulation it becomes worthless... Look at Zimbabwe as a good example of this

True, but Im sure that it must happen ;-)

I remember hearing years ago that you could only print money to the value of gold that was in the reserve (The Royal Mints vault). Im not sure how true that is though :-?

Im still looking for an answer then

What caused the Big Bang? (I asked Sir Patrick Moore and even HE couldn't answer that one!)
