No More Supersize Chocolate Bars!

May 29th 2010 04:03
First of all, did anyone here craving with chocolate? If you did, then the news is going to disappoint you here…

The Food Standards Agency has warned the chocolate manufacturers to cut down the size of chocolate bar and confectionery related products!

According to the standardized scale, the size of the chocolate bars should not be larger than 40 gram. Hence, most of the chocolate bars are against the rules, as they’re having a size much bigger than it!




The FSA have called the dairy and confectionary manufacturers to reduce the amount of saturated fat and added sugar in chocolate, as it’s one of the biggest reasons that contributing to obesity.

The FSA warned that they’re going to take an action to those manufacturers who didn’t obey the rules.

In addition, FSA also restricted the cans of fizzy drinks to cut off its regular 330 ml to 250 ml by 2015 as well!

It seems that FSA will have many works to follow up in the upcoming years.

Well, it's Ok to consume supersize chocolate bars once in a while, but not too often, Jason.

PS: Honestly, you won't stuff the supersize chocolate bar, like the one I showed above into your mouth, isn't it? lol

@Katyzzz: Honestly, I used to addict to chocolate, when I was teenager, as I consumed about 250g chocolate per day! Go figure, Katyzzz... Then, I'm having the obesity problem, and I've no choice, but to cut off the addiction!

@Yank: Hehe, remember not to overeating lol

oh well....

I am diabetic, so it is no great loss for me, but, one can now choose the most gorgeous chocolate, the most expensive and delicate in flavour, something from Belgium, or the Swiss, quality instead of bulk is the key!

cheers

@Fog: You've made a wise decision here, Fog. It's better to leave the chocolate alone, than spoiling your own health...
