Junket

I really can't believe this crap about trace amounts of Sudan-1 in certain foodstuffs being a health hazard. Rats have to be fed tons of this stuff for a few of them to get cancer. There is no evidence of it causing cancer in humans but, sure, its probably a good idea to keep it out of the human food chain if at all possible. However if a touch of it creeps in it doesn't warrant the degree of hysteria we are currently having to suffe: this is the precautionary principle gone mad. Just take the blighters quietly to one side and make sure it doesn't happen again. Anyway, anyone silly enough to eat the kind of junk it is appearing in shouldn't complain.
