Supermarket Salads Are Not Good For You
“Some supermarket salads contain more fat and calories than a Big Mac and fries. Those hoping to enjoy a summer salad as part of a healthy diet could be in for a shock. Many on sale at leading stores are more unhealthy than a diet of fast food and chocolate, research by Which? found. The consumer group says its findings emphasise the need for clearer nutrition labeling on food packaging. While a Big Mac and medium fries will provide you with 820 calories and 40g of fat, the Smedleys Atlantic prawn marie rose salad, from Morrisons, contains 855 calories and 66.3g of fat. The salad’s fat level is 70 per cent of the recommended daily amount for a man. Eating too much fat can increase the likelihood of clogged arteries and heart disease, and has been shown to raise the risk of cancer.” w/ photos
