Words fail me... you'd think the EU had bigger fish to fry right now.

Kind of like how pizza is a vegetable here in the US...

XJ is right. The EU has a lot bigger problems; Greece and Italy come to mind.

Dehydrate - cause (a person or a person's body) to lose a large amount of water.

Nope, hydrating OBVIOUSLY can't help dehydration.

Now we know what these bureaucrats have been so busy doing!

The thing is it took a three year study and 21 scientists to conclude that you're wrong. The next issue they're going after is the pompous assertion that water is wet.

And, eating doesn't prevent hunger . . . though I still hold out for pizza being a vegetable.

And, the USDA recommends we consume at least five servings of vegetables per day, which would equate to a medium Peperoni Pizza.

I can eat a large pizza by myself, so that must mean I'm getting my daily dose of veggies.

Well I've not time for the muppets either and the sooner we're out of it the better!

A lot of these directives are meaningless but where they do go down well is against the marketing boys and quackery.

We do need water..that's a fact but selling bottled water at extortionate prices to gullible punters has become such a racket that the manufacturers need reigning in.

Our tap water is safer and purer than most so why we blindly buy this stuff in the first place is beyond me.

Errr.... words fail me. Lets starve these idiots of water/drinks for a couple of days, and then see if they'd like a glass or 300 of water to rehydrate. Methinks they would.

BTW, the whole Pizza is a vegetable issue could only happen in the USA. Justifiable Obesity I call it.

Never realized they have ever been in the EU -_-

What those EU blokes in Brussels discovered was that water does not prevent dehydration, but beer does.

Cheers !
