FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

There was a time when stuffing cheese and meat into a toaster would have earned you – at best – a distinctly quizzical look. That time is gone.
Marks Spencer is launching the high street’s first pop-up pizza – a time-saving snack which is ready in just four minutes.
The £2 pizzas, which have a pre-baked base, come in a special non-stick ‘pocket’ designed to prevent a melted mess when they are slotted into a standard toaster.
Pizza Toast: The new snack is available from Marks Spencer for just £2
And they are available in two flavours – tomato and mozzarella and spicy pepperoni.
MS says the pizza is ‘less indulgent than a typical pizza and well balanced in terms of fat’.
But last night critics warned there was a danger the snack would encourage over-indulging.
Tam Fry, of the National Obesity Forum, said: ‘There is nothing that says that pizza can’t be healthy, and the ingredients look intriguing. The feature I like most about the idea is the portion size.
‘There’s a limit to what can be fitted into a toaster and that should be the limit for a snack for anyone.
‘But there is a danger that people will be tempted to have a second one and they shouldn’t. One is almost definitely enough.’
A typical slice has 190 to 250 calories – more than double that of a slice of toast.
But MS insists the pop-up pizza is a healthier snack alternative to some sandwiches.
Spokesman Claire Hodgson said: ‘Ready in less than four minutes, it doesn’t get much faster – and heating in a toaster means no soggy bases from the microwave.
‘It’s a great option for people who want a slice of pizza at home or in the office, but not the temptation of a whole pizza.’

Food, like sex, should be one of the greatest pleasures in our lives, and certainly what we put in our mouths makes us what we are.
Why is the English just want to eat the worst possible food, at the cheapest price, as quickly as possible, unlike the French who put the enjoyment of good food at the top of their agenda?
Just what are people doing with all this time and money they think they are saving, other than damaging their health and denying themselves some of the greatest pleasures in life?

Oh dear! That sounds lovely! I just hope it tastes authentic with mozzarella, oregano and a sourdough base. Not one of those yucky, springy cheap cardboard ones.

If people cannot eat ‘junk food’ in moderation then I think it is there problem. There is nothing wrong with a hot quick snack like this occasionally.

Cheese on toast always messes up my toaster.
As for Beans on Toast ……………..

Why does some kind of obesity forum/ group ect need to be consulted about everything? Even if they said it was unhealthy I don’t care because I, and the rest of the public can make their own decision about what they want to eat.
