The soya conspiracy
By Minimango
08 August 2008


Today a large area of Westminster was closed to traffic as the 'protest for real food' marched its way towards parliment.
Those not famililar with the action group 'militants against Soya' who organised the rally, would be forgiven their ingnorance, as the group until recently only numbered 6. The leader, Daniel Farrington explained their ideology in a press conference
on the lawn outside parliment.
    "It is widely known that food as we concieve it and those who actually experienced it in the past, ceased to exist since 1976. Since then when have been tricked into thinking that the food we eat, well most of it, is made from the genuine material.
We are here to tell the truth, that succulent steak, those spare ribs, that messy corn on the cob together with the butter that always runs down the chin and yes even the lager that is sloshed back on friday nights are all SOYA!! And it must be stopped"
A member of the press then challanged the validity of this statement, saying that she saw various cows and sheep on the trip down to London from Dudley.
Unrest broke out amoungst the groups own ranks as Mr Farrington explained that what she saw was mearly cardboard cutouts or wooden replicas put in place to reasure us that everything was normal. He also went on count in chickens and ducks.
    "After a cataclismic cattle and crop faliure in '76 it was decieded to keep the truth from the public to prevent panic purchasing of an already
scarce food supply and instead re-created it all with soya. Since then this cartel of soya producers have gone power crazy and have been systematiclly wiping out all organic food and replacing it with their own products.
Ladies and gentleman we live in a world owned and ruthlessly ruled by a soya conspiracy!"
He then then asked if there was any questions but a speachless crowd temporarily went silent. It was plain to see that a large portion of his own group also seemed stunned by his statement.
"What about fish" called a man from the press area.
"Soya"
"Curry sauce?"
"Soya"
"OdourEater insoles"
"Oh definatly soya"
"Why havnt i won the lottery?"
"Soya"
"A head gasket from a 1982 Ford Capri"
"Soya"
"Tesco's vegetarian meals?"
At that point Mr Farrington paused
"Actually that is made from 100 percent pure long pig"

Also in the news, the remains of what could be thousands of people was found close to a meat processing plant in.........

Hi M 
definitely out of left field and I liked the soya answer to all the products except the veggie one. 
 
A couple of things to help spruce up your piece; you have some spelling mistakes eg parliament and conceive and some odd sentences eg ... but a speachless crowd temporarily silent. (Ooops another typo in there). Try 'the astonished crowd were rendered silent.' 
 
Your final sentence is a bit of a dead kipper, I would end the piece with the 'pure long pig', although you could edit out the 'long' as well. 
 
Good effort

long pig

i admit this was rush job, like with this answer, it was dome during work while no one was looking. 
As for the pig thing, long pig is the name for a quite different type of meat altogether. Not so tempting and not normally found in sainsbury's deli counter. I was wandering if people would pick up on it.

He he he! Marvellous, I like the end with Soya being the answer to everything. Same points as John though, the last line is a tad morbid. 
Good choice of topic too, I wouldn't have thought of that one. 
If you're bored at work look at www.theonion.com it's an actual american newspaper, and is hysterically funny!
