Do your children eat chips (crisps) every day?

If they have 2 (small/ individual) bags of chips a day (many do) then they are drinking the equivelant of 5 litres of cooking oil a year!!!

I only buy chips for picnics or the occasional treat, and Lloyd will buy the odd big bag that will last him weeks as he has just a few in the evening sometimes. We air-pop popcorn (we don't own a microwave) and the kids eat that.........

The kids haven't had chips regularly for a long long time...even when in school, but they have many friends who have one or two bags a day....................

Anyway, I am very glad that they are finally doing something to educate parents on the unhealthy habit of giving kids chips every day...twice a day!!!! Yikes!!!
