London's 15 ton ball of grease

[Luddly Neddite]

London saved from a 15-tonne ball of grease

London: A sewage worker has become an unlikely hero after taking three weeks to defeat a toxic 15-tonne ball of congealed fat the size of a bus that came close to turning parts of the London borough of Kingston upon Thames into a cesspit.

eeeUUUWWWWWWWWWW

Makes me glad I'm vegetarian.

All you grease-buger eaters ... Have a nice lunch.

beacuse there are no non-meat fat sources, right?

Its called cooking oil, and its usually made from plant matter. look it up.

But plant oils are usually liquid, not solid. Look that one up!

Somehow, George Bush must be responsible. There has to be a link.

You said cooking oil, not shortening and I said "usually" not all.

It wasn't hamburgers that caused it.
It's their batter dipped deep fat fried Fish and Chips (French fries)
They need to stop pouring the used cooking oil down into the sewers.

I referred to non meat fat sources. Oil and shortening are examples.

and you are thinking of pure out of the bottle vegetable oils. Add some other solids and that shit will congeal just like animal fat.

This has to be the grossest thing I've ever seen. And they say america is fat... It must be because of their National Health Service, another reason for no Obamacare.

 

[koshergrl]

I'm not an environut, but one of the things that we should consider is the amount of fat we pour down our drains. I read an article once that said the biggest threat to our oceans was increased levels of fat and steroids and other drugs in the water....

Kinda freaky.

 

[koshergrl]

I'm not exactly sure what we should do with that stuff, and I'm not sure it matters in the long run, but still. It gives me stress every time I wash a greasy dish or use a topical and then wash my hands.

Considering I work in wastewater treatment and I am familiar with the formation of grease deposits in sewer systems, my view is far more apt than your attempt to blame the ball on meat products only.

You are the one that made the brainless commits on vegetarian vs hamburger eaters.
It has nothing to do with what they eat or don't eat.
The article was about pouring grease into their sewers along with sanitary wipes and feminine hygiene products..
They need to make laws to stop them from doing all of those things, like they have done here in America.

 

[Vandalshandle]

From what I understand about British food, they might as well heat it up again and reserve it. nobody would know the difference.

 

[Ringel05]

It will become sentient and eat London.........

Fat doesn't make you Fat.
Cholesterol doesn't raise your Cholesterol.

Sugar and Processed Carbohydrates are what ruins your health.

They already have such laws, had them for decades.
Recent arrivals don't respect such laws.

That would explain quite a bit of it.
The article said the majority was restaurants.
They need to fine them by a hefty amount.
