Subject: They Arrived!

Just a quicky to let you know that the Viagra arrived from
www.EuropeanViagra.com and it was absolutely wonderful! It made him bigger
and harder and he was well pleased with himself. So was I, ha ha.

We found that DVD site. It's www.PornPirate.net they are very cheap but the
selection isn't that great.

I forgot to ask you the name of that Red you brought. What was it and where
can we get some? Please bring some round at the weekend.

This car is giving us so much grief. I wish we'd kept the old one now.

See you soon

Everything you need to know about crisps

Introduction:

One in five children in the UK are overweight. Around half of boys and a third of girls snack at least three times a day and if you’ve ever thought your child eats too many crisps, you’re probably right.
A recent survey by the Doctor-Patient Partnership found that a quarter of children snacked on the way to school. Experts warn that rising obesity will lead to heart disease, diabetes and premature death for many of today’s children.
Salt content is still often overlooked, despite being a major cause of heart disease. The Recommended Daily Amount (RDA) for children between seven and 14 years old is 5g of salt per day. Those younger, 2g.
Children only require 1.6g a day – that’s the equivalent of two packets of crisps. But manufacturers still produce children’s food with a high salt content; one Darylea Lunchable contains 2.7g – that’s 37% more than the RDA for six year-olds.
Graham McGregor, professor of cardiovascular medicine at St George’s hospital, London, says the major offender is processed foods, including crisps and snacks: “We’re talking about foods that are 20-30 per cent more salty than sea water.”

Twiglets are around the healthiest crisps around; a small packet contains less fat then a packet of low fat crisps.

An average bowl of Corn Flakes contains 750mg of salt, which is about what a six year-old is allowed in a day.


Conclusion:

So should you ban your children from eating crisps? It seems you’d be far better off banning them from other processed foods instead. And fast food. Let them have their crisps, but make sure it’s in moderation.

We look at the top snacks with low salt and fat content (per 100g).

Walkers
Salt and Vinegar Lites
Taster than proper Salt and Vinegar we think, with 21g of fat.

Boots Shapers
Chargrilled Chicken Flavour Crinkles
A good taste and lovely texture, but with a whopping 24g of fat.

Marks & Spencer
Lightly Salted Baked Potato Crisps
A poor taste, but with 2.3g of salt, a winner in the health stakes.

Sainsbury’s Be Good to Yourself
Baked Potato and Butter Flavour Crisps
Overpowering butter taste but there’s only 2.3g of salt, so a healthy option.
