I really don’t understand why once again the food industry is being pressure to label their foods, more clearly they say. Why? Let me guess hmm……To reduce obesity figures in the UK, or maybe to make women more paranoid about their food intake?
When my girlfriends and I do our weekly shop, or go out to a restaurant we often keep our mental calorie count and weight watchers point score system on the RED.
Any foods with a high count per 100g is a forbidden apple, and should we, like Eve, be tempted by the forbidden then penance goes without say; perhaps a punitive expedition to the gym, our only redeemer.
Like red ants we march along the aisles of Tesco chanting “Out with the carbs, out with the fats, out with all foods sweet or processed!” OK so I am exaggerating a bit but I really just want to make it clear that maybe it’s not really our ‘poor’ sight that may be the problem such that we need more prominent content labels on all our foods, maybe it’s the education that we need. Shouldn’t we in the UK be concerning ourselves with how to be EDUCATED food consumers?
A slice of toast perhaps?
