The EU and Olive Oil

No, not the olive oil of Judea and Samaria and, perhaps, a labeling or boycott.

This:

From 1 January 2014, restaurants and cafes will be banned from serving oil to diners in small glass jugs or dipping bowls. Instead, the oil will need to be served in pre-sealed, non-refillable bottles that must be disposed of when empty. It’s all in the interests of ‘hygiene’ and ensuring that diners aren’t short-changed by olive oil that has been diluted. Because, of course, that was a major problem. Clearly, it wasn’t good enough that diners might think ‘this olive oil isn’t very good, I might eat somewhere else next time’. No, apparently this non-problem urgently needed an excessive solution.

It's not totalitarianism.

It's just the state organizing your life.


P.S.    My wife asked me should we think about going into the business of glass bottle manufacturing?
