What goes into crisps goes into who?
Children who eat a bag of potato chips (35g) daily, consume 5 liters (1.3 US gallons) of cooking oil every year. That’s the message the British Heart Foundation is looking to spread via their new ad campaign. According to BHF, “nearly a fifth of children eat two packets of crisps per day.”
BHF is also calling for a ban on the marketing of junk food products to children, and advocating for cooking skills to become a compulsory part of schooling.

It seems a bit silly. I doubt it will stop children eating lots of crisps.
