		<description><![CDATA[While completely agreeing with the &#039;bunkum&#039; comments above, as a food safety officer, I feel I should point out that it is not strictly correct that : &#039; these rules apply only to business operators and not to those preparing food for charity&#039;. If you regularly make jams, cakes etc, even for charity, you will still be bound by food safety legistation. This basically requires that your products be safe.You may also need to register (this is free) as a home caterer. I suggest you check with your local Environmental Health Department if you are in any doubt.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think what this sorry tale tells us is that we have to be so careful about believing so much that is written in these scandal and hate-mongering newspapers.  If such care is taken to misrepresent a fairly trivial story, then I think we can safely assume that even greater care is taken to ensure any story is given a salacious or mischievous twist.

I would not even wipe my bottom with either the Daily Mail or The Daily Express – I suffer the Mail’s sister papers ‘The Metro’ and ‘The Evening Standard’ because they are free and easily picked up on tube or rail journeys in London, where I work; however even these papers are apt to mimic the maliciousness of their siblings.  I think any decent person would be revolted by much of the twists and slants, purposefully put on many of the stories within these newspapers’ pages.  Yet again and again, we see on sites such as ‘Anglicanmainstream’ or ‘The Christian Institute’ or even some bloggers, that the Daily Mail is frequently quoted as a ‘source’ for some of these sites’/blogs’ ‘true’ stories – which in itself speaks volumes about any real care for verisimilitude.

In truth these papers pander to what people who are either too stupid to think for themselves or too, selfish, cold and callous to think of the wider picture and another’s viewpoint, want to hear.]]></description>
