The 'traffic light' system, or the ‘What’s Inside Guide’?

The 'traffic light' system—it is about time we were told the facts, without the male-equivilent-to-cows.

The 'traffic light' system—it is easier, than stopping in the aisle to process the 'W.I.G.'

The 'What's Inside Guide'—it is consise for the information it provides, and goes into more detail than the 'traffic lights'.

The Food Standards Agency (I think that's their name) have introduced their food traffic light idea. Speculation is, is that the other de facto 'what's inside guides' are to avoid the traffic lights, because they don't want a 'red' on their product, so they've euthamised it, with confusing rda, and statistics, with their own guides, then I think they make an advert that has been dressed up to look very much like one of those public information ones made by government agencies and departments, even the music, it is very much like the type of music they use.

Now, I think that the 'what's inside guides' are not too confusing, but a 'red' or 'amber' is much more straight forward.

Why do people say “Quad bike” and “Double prime”—it is like saying a “three-sided square”, oh wait they do, “Tri-square”?!

I was pissed when I woke up this morning and it was nice.

Sorry, that bandwagon was just passing me. Couldn't resist.

Anyway, I don't think anyone will look at the little charts. I certainly won't anyway.

I quite like that actually. Much more specific and efficient.

If it tastes nice I eat it.... not if it has a green traffic light thingy telling me how I am going to get fat when I eat the product.

The "Too much phuquing punctuation in the phuquing options" option appears to be missing.
