Breakfast news are running a piece that supermarkets have been asked to remove daffodils from the fruit & veg aisle. Apparently the bulbs are being mistaken for onions & the leaves, which are mildly poisonous, for Chinese vegetables 

Surely, if people are that stupid they should stick to ready meals that only require a microwave, as they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near sharp knives or stoves

Totally agree.  Both Sky and BBC with this news this morning.  I am at a loss to understand how anyone can mix up daffodils with food.

[patrice]

Yeah -In my experience Daffodils in supermarkets  are normally with the flowers -aren't they  :

In our local Tesco the flowers and plants are right at the entrance, just before you get to fruit and veg so I would say quite close.  Although I still fail to see how you can get them mixed up!    :

Come on guys, give the Health and Safety folks a break. They've got to create work for themselves somehow.!!

Next week they're launching a campaign to warn people that Tulips are nothing to do with the mouth.!

I believe that this warning was generated by poisoning occurrences in the Bristol area.

As for people being " that stupid ", Liz 101, do you include those people who continue to smoke copious amounts of tobacco products, which have been known for decades to KILL , or the idiots who replace  cigarettes for electronic substitutes, knowing that the active ingredient is PURE LIQUID NICOTINE ??  Stupid is as stupid does !!

Well a friend of mine was admitted to hospital after eating a daffodil bulb. Doctor said he should be out for Easter.

Nice one, Scorcher.
