If I recall correctly the change was made due to health & safety, or something to do with concerns about ink contaminating the food..
Things are too clynical now.Kids are not allowed to mingle with germs
That's exactly why they become sick a lot easier than when we were kids Frank, A bit of dirt never hurt anybody
I agree, exposure to germs builds up your immune system.That's exactly why they become sick a lot easier than when we were kids Frank, A bit of dirt never hurt anybody
Ya Let them eat dirt, not sure I've got that one right
We eat enough crap nowadays with all the additives in our food
The chips and fish were always put onto paper before being wrapped in newspaper...the newspapaer was just used to insulate the food...to stop it going cold on the way home........so the food didn't come into contact with the ink.
As others have said, many of us, over the years have eaten foods that were wrapped in this way and have come to no harm.
It wasn't a night out in our day Margaret, if you didn't call in the chippy (no kebab shops or curry houses in those days) on the way home, for a ton of chips and a battered whale
Its not just the ink, its the water solution used in the printing process as well

My late father in law's favourite saying was
'You've only so much dirt to eat afore you die'
Mainly after he'd picked his butty up of the workshop floor!
Or you've gotta eat a peck o' dirt before you die.
I remember the Irish gangers on the road works using their shovel to spread the Asphalt, then using the same shovel to cook bacon and eggs on at lunchtime
My uncle who was a fireman on the steam trains used to cook breakfast on the shovel he used for coal.
