What is wrong with a huge percentage of British parents?
Why on earth would they give their children something so fatty and unhealthy to eat on a regular basis. I overheard a mother in the park the other day saying to her child: "Come on Jack, be a good boy and eat your crisps" Not only was the child offered crisps, he was also encouraged to eat this crap which I cannot bring myself to call food.
Why would anyone expose their children to something that holds virtually no nutritional value on a regular basis? Crisps are packed with artery-clogging saturated fat and the salt content of a 35 gram pack counts for half the RDA (recommended daily allowance)of a six year old.
One in five children are now overweight in Britain.
The obesity epidemic means many children are contracting medical conditions associated more typically with middle age, such as diabetes. Now crisps alone is not responsible for this as many parents feed their children too much fatty, salty and sugary food, but stop eating crisps regulary and getting out of the sofa would be one step closer to a healthier life.
I am not impressed with Gary Lineker, someone associated with sports and therefore a healthy lifestyle campaigning for eating more crisps. Shame on you Mr. Lineker!
Be a good parent do not feed your children Crappy Crisps!
