Jeezo...



Doner kebabs sold in the UK contain "shocking" levels of salt, fat and calories, a survey has concluded. Officers from 76 councils sampled 494 kebabs to test their nutritional value, during the Local Authority Coordinators of Regulatory Services (Lacors) study. The average doner they tested contained almost 1,000 calories - half a woman's recommended daily intake.

Geoffrey Theobald, of Lacors, said: "The level of saturated fat and salt in some is a serious cause for concern."

I'm assuming that, like almost everything else, kebabs in moderation can't do you much harm. Who hasn't devoured one on the way home after a few beers and when the world seems a better place? But, shock, horror, too many kebabs are apparently bad for you as they contain too much fat and salt. Well, knock me down with a nan bread.

In America they are now posting the calorie content on the wall in all fast food places just to let us know how much we are killing ourselves. I know all of that is bad for me but every once in a while I just have to have something...I know moderation is the key...
