I love them in every shape and form.
Not so keen on Wotsits, but French Fries, pretzels, Quavers, Frazzles (especially), Monster Munch and then those ridged ones just hit the button every time. I went to teh US last year, though, and had a proper pretzel - there's no comparison to those supermarket packets and something I year to try again (out of sight of the Smiling Assassin, of course and with no camera evidence).
Then there's Pringles, cheese and onion, those nice Sensations, prawn cocktail...the list goes on.
Alarming then this week when I heard that Britons polish off six billion packets of crisps each year...almost 100 packets per person.
Rather more alarming - and something which supports my zero tolerance approach, is the fact that snacking on just one packet a day can add up to the equivalent of drinking almost FIVE LITRES of cooking oil per year to someone's diet.
Put like that, I might just have to continue with the abstinence...though one packet of ridged salted vinegar can't hurt that much, can it?
( . ) Another milestone this week - tipped the scales having lost a further 2kg, so that's now 12kg lost in total.
( . ) If you'd like to support my fund-raising via my gym sessions courtesy of the nice people at Abbeycroft Leisure, pop on the web to www.justgiving.com/BfpEditor where you can donate to the Beat It appeal. We're trying to raise £55k to buy a cancer scanner to detect prostate problems early in young men - and save lives.
Please help - just helping one young man and his family will have made all the sweating (and shouting from the Smiling Assassin) worth it.
Thank you for your support so far!
