Protect me from me

In the gorvernments attempt to help the population eat healthier, eat more homecooked meals, they are banning kitchen knives. They are what???

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this on the radio this morning. "...banning long pointy kitchen knives... reduce stabbings".

Ok, I agree, stabbings are not a very nice thing, but do we have to go back to the stoneages and cut our meat (and vegetables for the vegetarians) with pieces of flint? Or will it be like on the airlines where only plastic cutlery is allowed?

Eventually they might even ban sewing needles (they do on planes), so we will have to get creative about how we get cloting?
