Staff at Swindon’s Honda factory say they have been banned from eating cakes and fruit in their break rooms.They also claim they can only eat certain types of chocolate bars that do not contain a biscuit base.
Questionnaires are now being issued by the Unite union to consider what action staff should take.
A Honda spokesman said: “Our overall objective is to always deliver the highest quality product and we cannot compromise on achieving this. Therefore our company standards are an essential aspect of our business.”
Jim D’Avila of Unite told BBC News: “They’ve barred things like fruit or any product with a biscuit in it so it’s got to the ludicrous state where a Mars bar is ok but a Twix bar, because it has a biscuit base, isn’t allowed.
“Frankly they’ve lost the plot. The vast majority of people just can’t believe that the company are being so picky in what they’re doing.”
I don’t get how chocolate without a biscuit base or fruit hinders achieving “the highest quality product” at Honda, but I support this ban. I wish all offices could ban vending machines and junk food in the office. That’s why America is so damn fat! You’re trying to diet, but then there’s junk food everywhere you look.
When I was working in a 1-story office/playground with 700 employees, there wasn’t a day outta the year when it wasn’t someone’s birthday and everyone celebrated by bringing in various junk food. Then you can’t walk past the food tables without everyone around encouraging you to “try some cake” because it’s “so good!” That’s not even including the weekly Friday parties. Get the junk food out of every office and school worldwide, baby! Ban that shit, bitch.

The Blade star, 45, was sentenced Thursday to three years behind bars as his punishment for failing to file his tax returns, U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges announced in an Ocala, Fla., courtroom.
The actor sat stone-faced – and some people in the courtroom gasped – when the sentence was read. “I’m very sorry for my mistakes and errors. I apologize to my family, the court and the community,” Snipes said as his wife looked on. “I’ve asked the court to show me mercy and the opportunity to make things right.”
In February, a federal jury convicted Snipes of three counts of failing to file a tax return (from 1999 through 2001). Thursday he received 12 months for each count. Prosecutors say the actor owes a total of $41 million in taxes, of which he paid $5 at the sentencing.
Several famous names sent in letters of support for Snipes, including Denzel Washington, Woody Harrelson and TV judge Joe Brown. Washington called Snipes a “great oak.” Harrelson, who starred with Snipes in Wildcats, wrote, “Wes continues to encourage and challenge me to be the best man I can be by being a constant friend.”

How can you not like Carrie Underwood? She always seems so down to earth and genuine. She’s one of the realest female celebs out there, and talented and so hot. She doesn’t hide that she’s been cheated on, eats junk food when she’s down, and has to pay close attention to what she eats - more InStyle excerpts. Carrie’s a great role model!

Shannon proposed a year later after an argument.

Gary is reportedly a big fan of the show and wants counselling from the judge. Their episode is scheduled to air May 1st.
Shannon’s tired of Gary flying off the handle, throwing things at her and butting his head against the wall when he’s upset. She obviously sucks in bed. He’s fuckstrated.

According to Fox.com’s Pop Tart column, lighting and camera technicians complained that Carey was a complete diva while taping the show. The crew claims to have been made to put more than normal effort into positioning lights and camera angles, only to be double checked my the star’s personal staff.
“We had to reshoot one of the questions,” one cameraman told the column. “I had to change the lighting and alter the position and do it again because we went off angle slightly. She has a director of photography with her at all times and can only be shot from the waist up.”
Carey performed on the show’s live taping, using a jewel-encrusted microphone and mic stand.

The source also shared a revelation about the Mexico trip that Jessica and Tony took with his teammates in January, before the NFL playoffs. “Everybody agreed to tell no one about the trip,” says the source. “On the day they were flying out, who shows up? Joe Simpson. Tony and the other guys thought it was weird.”
The private vacation became very public when photos of the group appeared in magazines. Tony, says the source, recently came to the conclusion that Joe tipped off the paparazzi! Friends say the whole situation destroyed any hope Tony may have had of ever taking Jessica seriously.
“Tony says they are just friends with benefits,” says the source. “The sex is good, but he doesn’t see it going anywhere.”
As far as Tony considering Jessica “friends with benefits,” that’s why I like Jess. Bitch is retarded when it comes to men, just like me. There’s no way Tony wants to commit to her bimbo, “I hate football!” ass. They’ll be over within a few months, or maybe he’s just waiting until football season so he can dump her just like he did to Carrie Underwood.
Dumping a ho before you hit the road is the new black. That’s why Kanye dumped Alexis. Tony’s no different.
Jess should totally call Star Jones’ gay ex husband, Al. That could be her longest relationship with a member of the opposite sex. Jessica’s mismatched choices in men have her lookin’ like the new Jennifer can’t-keep-a-man Aniston and I can’t wait to find out what douche she’ll start dating next.
