Pasta Bakes promote healthy living through the combination of vegetables, egg-based products and it provides a high level of fibre - as opposed to Pancake Day which provide none of these (except for being partly egg-based). Pasta itself is low in fat and is one of the most calorie-dense products available - despite this it remains rich in Carbohydrates, Vitamin A, Folic Acid and Pottasium.\r\n\r\nPancakes generally promote unhealthy eating via the toppings that are generally applied - from Maple Syrup to Molasses whereas Pasta (and in particular Pasta Bake) is generally twinned with tomatos and cheese.\r\n\r\nPasta is loved universally and the government could also benefit economically from commercialising the event much like it has done to Christmas and Valentine's Day.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":4,"created_at":"2012-12-13T12:07:39.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:40.084Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2012-12-14T11:06:51.000Z","closed_at":"2013-12-14T11:06:51.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-12-13T12:07:39.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":43195,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/43195.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"ISP speed, terminology and fair play corrections","background":null,"additional_details":"If successful the following should be addressed and corrected by all ISP ( Internet service providers)\r\n\r\n1, ISP's should clearly state the minimum speed and that speed should be used not the commonly used \"upto\".\r\nReason: the actual use of \"upto\" is ambiguous and misleading.\r\n\r\n2, the definition of the word \"unlimited\" should be enforced and should not be allowed to be used with the phrase \" fair usage/ fair user policy\"\r\nReason: a limitation is not unlimited","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":4,"created_at":"2012-12-13T01:48:16.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:40.059Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2012-12-17T10:40:58.000Z","closed_at":"2013-12-17T10:40:58.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-12-13T01:48:16.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":47600,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/47600.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"HMRC Email Access to deal with Personal Tax Matters","background":null,"additional_details":"That HMRC put in place all necessary systems, staff and other appropriate resources to allow the general public to communicate with HMRC via Email on all matters relating to personal taxation.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":4,"created_at":"2013-03-25T11:47:55.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:58.425Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2013-03-26T08:56:02.000Z","closed_at":"2014-03-26T08:56:02.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-03-25T11:47:55.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":67079,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/67079.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Stop the goverment profiteering from the CSA","background":null,"additional_details":"Due to a Goverment rule change in relation to the Child Matainance Service you will now pay a fee TO THE CHILD MAINTAINANCE SERVICE\r\nLets say the paying parent pays his ex partner £500 a month :\r\n\r\n£500 -
