Recently they looked at reducing the standardisation laws concerning food thinking that food wastage issues were far more important.

a nice delectable curved banana is a terrible thing to waste.

But do you think the image would be considered sexist, were it in a commercial? After  all, the tree could be considered to be a phallic symbol, and therefore a subliminal projection of masculinity.

Thanks for the link...

Here is the correct answer: the commissioners have no problem with straight bananas, it's the crooked ones they don't like so much, but they have never banned them. As Commission Regulation (EC) 2257/94 puts it, bananas must be "free from malformation or abnormal curvature". In the case of "Extra class" bananas, there is no wiggle room, but Class 1 bananas can have "slight defects of shape", and Class 2 bananas can have full-on "defects of shape".


I can only imagine why curved bananas might offend  



I think you miss the vital point. The idea is that you know what you are ordering without seeing the produce, hence class 1 bananas have to be of a certain standard and class 2 can be of any standard (as long as they are fresh and fit to eat.)

Though all Europeans who are anti-EU conveniently miss the point too so why shouldn't an American.

WTF?

There must be some extremely ugly women running the show over there, is all I can imagine!



After a certain hour here on certain channels, you wouldn't have to search the internet for porn, you can sit down and watch TV. Sometimes you aren't sure if you are watching a programme or an advert.

Even ordianary national channels show films such as Romance and Bais Moi which show wet pussy, erections, full penetration and ejaculation.

By the time we have solved all the problems abroad, our own countries will be so tightly bound in pc red tape, we might consider moving to these sorted out countries because our own country won't be worth living in.

I didn't take offence and I don't take offence but class 1 bananas are needed for straight adverts because class 2 are so bent they only useful for double penetration.

Actually this would be lost on Brits because they don't have banana programmes like they do over this side of the channel.

The classifications are such that you can be in John o Groats and buy class1 cumcumbers from Italy and know what you are buying without seeing them. You can by class2 for a lower price and get what you are given, knowing only that they have to be fresh and fit to eat.

Status: offline 		When someone talks about the society they enjoy they are often forgetting about those who enjoy it a little less and want things to change a little. Your views vs the views of an MEP, I don't know who is right but there would be something wrong if we weren't trying to improve society for everyone. Not everyone is happy with the status quo, it's all about minimising extreme positions.
