MORE JUNK FOOD & LESS EXERCISE FROM MIDDLE CLASSES
Despite
the millions spent by the government promoting healthy living and foods
to be
eaten and not eaten, a survey reveals that more of the middle classes
opt for
chips and fried foods more and more although the dangers of eating
these types
of food have been made quite clear.
During
the time the survey took they actually halved their consumption of
wholemeal
bread, swapping it for leading white varieties.
The
portion of fruit and vegetables had dropped to less than one portion a
day for
20% of women & 40% of men.
Exercise
rates have dropped to an alarmingly low rate. These findings were
worrying for
government officials considering they are spending £150 million a year
and
another £80 million specifically for promoting healthy eating and
lifestyles to
schools
