An allergic reaction to foods isn’t nice So warnings on food labels are good advice But….. We all know that milk comes from a cow’s udder So do we need this printed on a pat of ‘Buddha’? WARNING - MAY CONTAIN MILK I think health and safety have finally gone mad To have this printed on a butter pat really is sad! So if it’s called butter made with milk from a cow They can remove the warning notice from now Contest Warning Sponsored by Viv Wigley This is a true story - my hubby still has the tiny label from the pat of butter he was given in hospital... maybe they were taking health and safety a little too far 10~15~16

At the fast food places hamburgers read may contain meat. So far I haven't run into any. Their milkshakes are made from an oil by product. Their cheese no longer melts it's made of an impenetrable plastic. Their nuts are usually itchy. Their salads may or may not contain greens especially their macaroni salad that I usually pasta on. Great poem. A fav!

In the UK there is a 'buttery spread' called I can't believe its not butter... but on the advert is sounds like 'budda' when I googled and found the pic I had to use it lol. Oh your poor hubby he must have to be so careful when dining out or eating anything you've not cooked :-( hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan, This is a entry for the contest. Sometimes it seems as though the "side effects" are worse than your present condition. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

I started the poem last night and finished it earlier today. I had all the lines written but not in the right order as I wrote some on my laptop and the others when I was making a cup of tea and scribbled them on a bit of paper:-) hugs jan xx
