The Brits Advised To Eat More – ???!!!!

It seems the British are eating too little. A draft report by the Scientific Committee on Nutrition says that the daily calorie intake recommended by the country’s health officials needs to be increased by as much as 16%.

The committee says the current recommendations of 2 000 calories for women and 2 500 for men needs to be revised as in its report it details a more accurate way calories can be burnt through physical exercise. The committee are, however, stressing that this is not a green light for individuals to go out and stuff their faces.

Understandably we can expect the British Health Department to make a big fuss about this report, as it’s quite risky telling people they may now eat 400 more calories a day – the equivalent of a cheese burger. Luckily the report first needs to undergo a 14-week consultation period before it can be taken seriously and before new recommendations can be considered by British health officials.

The draft report was only released to The Times and The Grocer magazine in the UK.

Someone on the other side of the pond needs to get their head out of the sand and face reality. It’s like telling a smoker that they need to smoke more…
