Another Bollocks Survey About The Dangers of Salt

Action on Salt have, in the absence of nothing better to do, commissioned a survey on salt in kids' food in restaurants.

It concluded that kids' meals at restaurants, popular with middle class families (whatever that means, do "working class" kids not matter then?), can contain five times as much salt as chicken nuggets and chips at McDonald's.

Restaurants such as Loch Fyne and Bella Italia apparently advertised dishes for children that would have more than the recommended daily salt intake for a six-year-old.

Two dishes at Wagamama contained only fractionally less than the 3g daily salt limit for young children. Precisely how often do British parents take their kids out to eat sushi?

Kudos to Loch Fyne for its bangers and mash with gravy which, according to the Telegraph, contained 4.04g!. .Four chicken nuggets and fries in a McDonald's Happy Meal contained 0.78g of salt, a fifth of the amount.

Hoorah!

Feed your kids nuggets!

Oh, hang on a minute, doesn't Nanny rather disapprove of that as well?

How many times, realistically, per week do parents take their kids to Loch Fyne??

So farking what if one dish is salty? So long as the kids have a balanced diet, drink water and exercise to build up a sweat the salt will be excreted.

I sued to eat chunks of salt from a salt block that I was tasked with grating when I was a nipper, it did me no harm whatsoever.

Regarding these self appointed guardians of our food, booze and fag intakes etc (eg AoS); what the fark business is it of these people to stick their noses into what we do?

It is bad enough that Nanny does it, without self appointed single issue fanatics joining in!

Get a life, and leave others to live theirs as they wish!

The Dangers of Fruit Juice

I see that Nanny's chums from an anti sugar lobby group Action on Sugar (akin to the anti salt lobby group CASH) have got their knickers in a twist over the amount of sugar in fruit juice.

Maybe CASH and AoS could combine and, akin to the laws of physics wrt matter/anti matter, cancel each other out?

Just out of curiosity I am still bemused that some people become so fixated on a single issue (eg salt, sugar) that they set up charities and lobby groups that solely focus on that one single issue, and do their utmost to prevent others from consuming that product.

Why?

Why are these people so obsessed, and so determined to stop others living their lives as they wish to?

Nothing to do with the money that these groups rake in from sponsors and governments surely?

Anyhoo according to research carried out by the Telegraph some fruit juices and smoothies contain four times the amount of sugar the World Health Organisation recommends an average person should consume in a day.

A survey of 50 products from supermarkets, coffee shops and food outlets found that more than half contained at least six teaspoons of sugar, which is the recommended daily limit.

This is all very well and "horrifying" but, if you observe the table below that lists the 50 products, many are huge portions. In other words of course they contain large amounts of sugar, because the portion sizes themselves are stonking!


Maybe a simple solution would be to consume less fruit juice and smoothies...oh, wait a minute, wasn't Nanny the other day telling us to up our 5 a day to 7 a day?

I have of course a simple solution for those of you who wish to drink gallons of sugary fruit juices, simply add salt.

Problem solved!
