Well, that would be one interpretation. Another would be that I don't think that vegetables are that tasty.

This makes me think of an old song by Tool, "Disgustipated." During a spoken interlude they say,

Quote:
And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?"

And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!
You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust."

And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!"

Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus

As I understand you are bound to the law if you have customers from the EU (didn't understand how that exactly works out in reality)...

I'm Indian, so take what I say with a pinch of salt: but as I understand it, GDPR is not just for EU-based companies to follow, it's for any companies that store/process data on EU nationals/residents.

AIUI, it's for any company that has any business presence in the EU. The catch is - if you have a web site accessible from the EU, it is counted as having a "business presence".

That is why sites such as CP (based only in Canada) had to comply with GDPR.

The question is - does distribution of gifts/lumps of coal count as "having a business presence"? Smile | :)

Well ... he's not a Registered Charity, and he isn't a Political Party or Pressure Group, and his gifts have value, and so he must have some form of revenue stream. So he's a business. Either that or he's handling stolen goods and / or money laundering ...
