No way in hell you let someone like this dictate something like this, you do not see little things happening then you choose not to want to see. Do not like one business, take your pick there are others. They dictate one thing to us, next thing you know, they will be dictating a hell of a lot more, because they know they can. Do not be naiv'e Chit happens as they say, and starts out little.
So certainly you can understand why so many in other countries are pissed at us.

There were also concerns raised about safety [emphasis added]. Removing it was not a difficult decision. We still love bacon. We still love eggs. Please have the political conversation elsewhere."
Absolutely crazy!
