I'd love to see that happen here just so EVERYONE could disable their chips in protest and show what we think of all this intrusion...
Stun guns do a marvelous job of killing chips with their 50,000+ volts...
Although pricier you could manufacture a high powered RF device to kill the chips...
or somehow reprogram the chips to show only xx lbs. of garbage no matter what is actually in the can ,,,, heck ! I'd manufacture and sell said chips...
eBay has a thriving UK site full of people eager to save money :-)

You bought the wimpy stun gun. Mine does 500,000 volts and I can wear it in my shirt pocket.
