Food Police - not in my house

There no chance of anyone trespassing into my fridge. What qualifications in food nutrition do these people have? How much experience in household budgets and healthy eating can they prove? It goes without saying that they'll all try to work at weekends with the excuse that they'll catch more people in - because the rates of pay are so high - sorry, the rates that WE are paying them are so high.

If the Government is so keen on us eating healthily, wouldn't it be a better idea to send people around to food stores and restaurants to make sure that the products we are being sold are stored at the right temperatures, within their sell-by dates, with contents clearly labelled. (We've all seen Kitchen Nightmares). I can guarantee there are loads of outlets that sell unfit and contaminated foods, but as usual, they'll waste our money on what they perceive to be easy targets instead of doing something that might actually help us all.

Apart from anything else, it puts the vulnerable and elderly in our society in danger, as anyone can rig up a badge and say they have the right of entry - and then once they've gained access, rob or hurt the unsuspecting victim. This is appalling and must be stopped.
