salt awareness week promotion
 

i am leaving my sweetheart for a real salt - salt awareness week promotion 10.03.14

over and over its calories
we are terrified of the sweet
now something more shocking then a cut in salaries
but like obesity will it fail to defeat.
as a nation we are growing
we can not halt
the fat has no slowing
so no help for salt.
yes people are conscious
and are most likely to fall into this trap
but the rise will be obnoxious
even if 95% of the nation down load this app.
fed up of my sugar lump
infarct i need a whiskey malt
no more with my sweet heart will i rump
because i am off to over indulge with a real salt.

All just propaganda, salt is good for cramp

this is what happens when you watch daybreak

There is a lot of salt in takeaway and convenience foods, I don't think people realise just how dangerous salt is.

'You don't have to add salt to food to be eating too much – 75% of the salt we eat is already in everyday foods such as bread, breakfast cereal and ready meals.
A diet that is high in salt can cause raised blood pressure, which currently affects around one third of adults in the UK.'

I'm not sure I know anyone who doesn't already know that convenience food contains a lot of salt, and that many other products contain hidden salt. People aren't stupid. Well, most people aren't stupid. When are we going to have a fat awareness week? And a sugar awareness week? We seem to have a lot of obese people around who don't pay extra tax on their fatty, sugary food and who are costing the NHS a packet. Maybe we should be targeting them first.

I'm constantly trying to tell women that they need to take on more salt, so this really isn't doing me any favours.

People aren't stupid but some are a bit ignorant as to the facts.

send them to me Jesus - but i am not a salt. but i can do sweet - well after a drink or 6

Alcohol actually makes it quite bitter, apparently. You want to eat a lot of fruit. I hear pineapple is good.

Saturated fat is good for you. There should be an awareness week to correct the demonisation of saturated fats, if anything. I'm with you on sugar, though. The toxic combination causing obesity is inactivity, appetite boosting additives (chemicals in junk that stop people from feeling full so they consume FAR too many calories), high carbohydrate intake and sugar sugar and more sugar. Raw energy that people have absolutely no hope of burning off. The only real "problem" with saturated fat is that it's high-calorie, but that actually makes it a GOOD food type to eat, because it means you don't have to eat much to fuel your body. People don't over-eat fats if their diet is clean, and their stomachs aren'tstretched out by bulky piles of carbs.


Anyway, on the thread topic: salt is a tricky one because you do actually NEED salt. Nowhere near as much as many people end up having (again, because their diets aren't clean: you could never eat that much salt in unprocessed food, it would taste horrendous) but people are constantly hearing the "SALT BAD!!" message and attempting to cut out all salt, only to end up giving themselves hyponatremia (sodium deficiency).

Obese people actually save the NHS moneyover a lifetime..believe it or not :laugh:
