More Outrage

Food & Drink, Nannies

Of course, no festival could be safe from the Perpetually Indignant.  From the so-called National Obesity Forum (U.K. branch), we are told the following:

Super-sized Eater eggs are a risk to health because of the extraordinary amount of sugar they contain, [these fucking busybodies] have warned.
Over-indulging youngsters could do ‘real’ damage, they say, if they consumer an entire egg in one day – all too likely at Easter.
Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Crunchie Ultimate Easter Egg contains a whopping 330g of sugar. This is the equivalent of 17 days’ worth of sugar, based on the NHS recommendation for children aged four to six to consume no more than 19g in a day.

It makes me want to go out and buy six dozen of these bad boys, and hand them out to random kids at our local playgrounds.  I wonder if World Market has them in stock…

  1. 10lb bags of sugar are a risk to health because of the extraordinary amount of sugar they contain, [these fucking busybodies that need to be dragged] have warned.

    Over-indulging morbidly obese could do ‘real’ damage, they say, if they consume(d) an entire 10lb bag of sugar in one day – all too likely at any time.

    A 10lb bag of sugar contains a whopping 330,000g of sugar. This is the equivalent of 777 days’ worth of sugar, based on the NHS recommendation for morbidly obese people to consume no more than 1g in a day.

    Hmmm…old guy hanging around the playground giving out candy – what could possibly go wrong?

    Bonus points if you drive a windowless white van. 😉

  3. I sincerely hope hope hope, with all my heart, The Mrs. will hide some super-size Eater eggs especially for us… because we are very nice and we ask for so little.

    And probably did nothing to deserve a whopping, but toss it in any way. For ‘good measure’.
