Happy mothers day to my friend Isabel who has just had Hugo so it is her first.
I had a lovely experience on Sunday as went down to see my nana and take her some fish and chips and take her out for a ride and it touched my heart that such a simple gesture meant so much to her and the other ladies at lunch who also enjoyed the special treat. I think sometimes its nice to slow down and remember the simple things are sometimes the best.
Happy mothers day mum - thanks for all your love and support all through the years
Mathematics and Fat.
ReplyDelete"The currently accepted benchmark for the total fat content of commercially produced fish and chips is
15.4 g/100g and 12.4 g/100g, respectively."
15.4g + 12.4g = 27.8g
_______________________
100g + 100 g = 200g
= 27.8 g/ 200g
= .139
.139 x 100 = 13.9 f, where f = % fat
Therefore there is 13.9g of fat/100g of fish and chips, or 13.9%.
"The takeaway average meal portion size was found to be 507.9g"
Therefore, in the average meal of fish and chips you are consuming there is:
507.9/100 = 5.079
5.079 x 13.9 = 70.5981g fat.
"Reference Values for Nutrition Labeling
(Based on a 2000 Calorie Daily Intake; for Adults and Children 4 or More Years of Age)
Total Fat: 65g"
70.5981 g fat is equal to:
70.5981/65 = 1.09 (3 s.f)
1.09 x 100 = 109%
109% of the average persons daily recommended fat intake is in an average portion of fish and chips.
Moral of story is fish and chips = fat = bad = dont' eat.
