Lunchboxes ‘contain 12 spoons of sugar’
16th November 2009
Parents could be unwillingly packing more than 12 teaspoons of sugar into their children’s lunch-boxes, a consumer campaign group claimed.
They say that as if it were a bad thing. Personally, I rarely give much credence to advice from magazines whose names consist merely of an interjection and punctuation mark. “Consumer campaign groups” don’t rank very highly, either. (Ever notice how “consumer groups” seem dedicated to restricting the choices that consumers have? Perhaps “anti-consumer group” would be the more accurate term.)
