If you buy chicken noodle soup, you&#8217;re probably the sort of person who likes chicken and noodles in soup. More than that, you&#8217;re probably the sort of person who &#8211; without being unreasonable &#8211; would expect their chicken noodle soup to contain chicken and noodles.

If you buy chicken noodle soup, you&#8217;re probably the sort of person who likes chicken and noodles in soup. More than that, you&#8217;re probably the sort of person who &#8211; without being unreasonable &#8211; would expect their chicken noodle soup to contain chicken and noodles.
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I was recently very ill. On top of a severe bout of manflu I had a tickly cough and a slightly inflamed toe. Seeking comfort and convenience, I turned to soup. A tin of Sainsbury&#8217;s Chicken Noodle Soup seemed to provide all the answers to my health questions.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But I was to be disappointed. My &#8220;chicken noodle soup&#8221; contained microscopic fragments of chicken, but NO NOODLES!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Clearly, the rubicon has been crossed. No wonder the Guardian is offering <a title="Surviving a world without noodles" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jan/29/apocalypse-survival-guide-tanya-gold" target="_self">tips to survive an apocalypse</a>. What does society have left if even soup is telling lies? There are no standards. The Daily Mail is right: Britain is broken.</p>

<h3>Drugs is cheese</h3>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen people sweating because they needed a fix of cheese . I&#8217;ve seen people gently brush past an elderly relative because they were desperate to get to the cheese board. That&#8217;s the kind of depravity you might expect from some sort of heroin junkie. But I kid you not: I have seen people willing to <em>brush past</em> their own grandmother, just to get their fix of rotten, processed milk.</p>
<p>But now I know why. It&#8217;s time to lock up the Dairylea. Ban the brie. Incinerate the stilton. Because <a title="Smack my cheese up" href="http://www.gomestic.com/Consumer-Information/Cheese-Has-a-Little-Known-Secret-Consumers-Beware.79385" target="_self">cheese is full of drugs</a>! Junkies can stop resorting to illegal drug pumpers to buy a noxious blend of poppy sap and Ariel Powerball 3-in-1 MegaTablets, because cheddar, camembert and gorgonzola are stuffed with opium!</p>
<h3>Down with cheese!</h3>
<p>No wonder the chattering classes enjoy a wooden board coated with cheese after a nice meal! Now knowing what I now know, that tray of cheese looks like a rack of dirty needles, dripping with filthy smack. You may as well go to McDonalds and request a CrackBurger.</p>
<p>I look forward to our government prohibiting this gushing stream of narcotic elation. Please join the petition to ban cheese drugs by commenting below. Your comment will help safeguard a less drugged-up, de-cheesed future for our children.</p>
