I see the fun police are out in force again. Lighten up, buttercup!

Says the person who posted a deal for Pizza Express!

Thanks for posting :smiley:

Peanuts are very bad for you. Full of saturated fats.. Great if you want to clog up your coronaries and have a heart attack.

Cold.

Lol.. But come on! Pizzas do not contain 50-60% fat do they? Peanuts have been known to clog up arteries for many years.. It's keeps the medics in business I guess..

Peanuts are not bad for you. The stuff they are coated in is not great for you. i lost 6 stone years ago and I had lots of peanuts during my diet. Fat is not bad for you. It's excess fat that's the problem..... And processed food like pizza

It keeps the medics in business yet they've advised us to limit saturated fats for the past 40 years or so. :wink:

So is this national or just one store?

nom nom nom! heat.

Oh and heat!

I am going to Asda in the morning and will be stocking up :laughing:

The problem essentially is that you can never eat just a handful of peanuts (which is the advice for a 'healthy' diet).. You do actually end up eating the entire tin, even if that's over a few hours. Which would mean about 90-100g of saturated fat!

If ther were studies done on this type of behaviour and checking of ones lipid profile pre and post their 'binge' I would be concerned that this would adversely affect the bad cholesterol levels and triglycerides.. Although there is no evidence to support this..

I guess the same can be said about 'oily fish'.. Ok so it contains 'good oil' and aims to increase your HDL level.. But if one just sat there all day and ate tins after tins of this, they would become obese (due to the overall fat and energy content) and this in turn may lead to cardiac disease..

Is that really you? ****...

I still say pizza is probably overall healthier weight-for-weight..

Same price at Waitrose in Egham today

Firstofficer is obviously a troll guys....

Why would I be afraid of what you think? Lol, especially if it's a load of crap... Enjoy trolling :smiley:

All finished at Fareham. Was in the reduced section

Did you know if you walk into McDonalds and eat 20 burgers twice a week, you'll get fat?

Yes of course you did. The reason most people DON'T do that is because they exercise a little bit of self-discipline. Obviously something you lack if you think dipping your hand in a tub of peanuts means you'll gorge on the entire thing in one sitting.

Mr Stiff, I'm just taking from personal experience. Peanuts are somewhat addictive. I have never just had a handful and stopped there, they always slowly get finished.. Then I feel really sick. My point is simple. These so called healthy foods are only that if taken in moderation. But most people are not able to moderate this due to the addictive nature. As for burgers and pizzas, you'd get full pretty quickly after eating 2-3, so you cannot make that comparison.

I hope that clears things for you, Mr Stiff.

It's Miss Squiff actually. Why do people on here assume I'm a bloke when my avatar is a fluffy bunny? Anyway, you just proved two of my points. I consider my case rested.

I'm sorry. Please accept my sincerest apologies, Miss Squiff - I wasn't wearing my contacts.

But on a serious note, do I really not have a point about these addictive unhealthy foods? The same can be said about the new craze about cononut oil.. Something which contains 97% saturated fat. And now scientists are saying it actually prevents heart attacks.. This all doesn't add up!

It all boils down to self control. If you must, buy a packet of peanuts and separate them into bags of small portions and allow yourself one bag a day, or even a week. You have a point, but it's a weak one and you're coming across as standing on your soapbox shouting at 'bad' foods for making people fat, like that chubster who tried to sue McDonalds for making her a chunk. People make themselves fat, not foods or food retailers, by eating too much, too often, with too poor choices all too frequently. Gettit? :smiley:

Hilarious! Can't stop laughing ... LOL

15 minutes of laughter burns about 30 calories, which is about 8.4 peanuts. Hope this helps :smiley:

OMG, I'm gonna need a calculator to work out the amount of giggles needed to burn off a full 250kg pack of KP dry roasted peanuts ..

Who needs the gym when one can laugh!

Oops.. Typo.. Grams, NOT Kg!

(Not allowing edit.. )

You did.. And I nearly believed you! ;-)

So basically, they are not for fatties like you who do not know when to stop. For the rest of us, we'll enjoy what we want and use common sense to know what moderation is..... :wink:
