New Method Of Food Labelling

Recommended Posts

Loughborough University suggest that it would be more effective to label food with the amount of exercise required to work off the calories consumed.

The example given was 1 mince pie = 25 minutes running!

There’s going to be a few marathon runners if this takes off.

Who reads all this guff? It can only be generic, anyway, as your metabolic rate will not be that used in this 'calculation' .

This is not a new suggestion.

Heard it suggested years ago.

Back to the classroom Loughbro' Uni students.     👎

Another waste of time , it will not make any difference to eating habits. Here's my bit of "research"  , eat too much and don't exercise and you will get fat.

210 calories in a pint of Guiness. 

 

I'm going to have problems jogging back from the bar with that in my hand.

The only time I read the labels is to find out where it is made or grown.

A far more effective solution to rising obesity levels would be for alcohol to have nutritional guides on like food and soft drinks do.  I don't know how they've gotten away with this for so long. Some of those fruit ciders, and alcopops just taste like pure sugar.
