    Call to change name of beloved Aussie food

    Call to change name of beloved Aussie food



    A petition to change the "outdated and offensive" name of one of Australia's favourite party foods has gained over 1000 signatures.

    Fairy bread is the latest snack to come under the cancel culture spotlight, with a new
    change.org campaign declaring that the term 'fairy' "has been used to belittle and oppress others".


    "The fact that Australians in 2021 are still using this word in the name of a children's food is reprehensible," the campaign creator wrote.

    "I never personally ate fairy-bread (sic) while growing up, and am proud to say that I still have not. However, I would like to think that if I had a child I would not be using a term as crude as the term 'fairy' to describe it."

    The creator proposed changing the name to 'Party Bread', "for the sake of countless marginalised Australians".

    Seems maybe the use of the word fairy to describe the food may outdate the use of an effeminate man. I'm not an Aussie and never heard of it before but I say leave it alone.
    Change it to Rainbow Bread?

    Why is it fake news? This is an hilarious example of the 'Woke' crowd being scammed and made fools of, and utterly apropos to our modern era.
