It's the large amount of fat and sugar the oats are stuck together with that are rather less good for you (unless you're up a mountain or whatever).Rob Sterowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870233673933087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-27714601050332573652009-07-19T21:30:43.029+01:002009-07-19T21:30:43.029+01:00I thought flapjacks, along with porridge and other...I thought flapjacks, along with porridge and other oaty goodness were complex carbs that were good for you? Gave you energy for the morning and stopped you snacking etc. Now I know it's junk food I am happy to have one as an alternative to my morning bacon sarnie.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-84224068521578625412009-07-19T15:29:27.544+01:002009-07-19T15:29:27.544+01:00I notice the article also says, "Research has...I notice the article also says, "Research has found that, without action, about 90 per cent of today’s children will be overweight or obese by 2050, with the bill to the taxpayer estimated at £50 billion." By 2050 those obese children will be the taxpayers, so they'll be paying the bill themselves.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-45917010257089282632009-07-18T23:56:37.317+01:002009-07-18T23:56:37.317+01:00Flapjack is made with oats, if I remember rightly....Flapjack is made with oats, if I remember rightly. A fine cereal derived carbohydrate that also happens to be very high in fibre.<br /><br />When my life wasn't tied to this damn pub I walked on the fells a lot. A high energy, high fibre snack was just what I required. Kendal Mint Cake works better, but doesn't have the fibre.<br /><br />Bloody Quangos - responsible for HACCP as well - don't get me started.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319272987951077205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-74017080910513859952009-07-18T22:58:56.583+01:002009-07-18T22:58:56.583+01:00If the FSA got their way foods deemed 'unhealt...If the FSA got their way foods deemed 'unhealthy' by them would carry government health warnings, cigarette packet style!
