🍺 Should pubs show calorie counts? Shadow health minister Liz Kendall @leicesterliz shares her views on the latest #BBCNewscast...
@BBCSounds @leicesterliz Google is your friend.
@BBCSounds @leicesterliz I couldn't care less what the calorie content of a pint is. I just want to know what it roughly tastes like and the alcohol content. To be honest the greasy kebab after 8 pints is probably doing my waistline far more harm than the beer🤣
@BBCSounds @ChrisMasonBBC @leicesterliz "I'm not pissed, I've only had 1200 calories"
@BBCSounds @ChrisMasonBBC @leicesterliz I read that as “pubes”. Easy mistake.
@BBCSounds @leicesterliz It's nonsense, I don't really calories on food now I'm certainly not going to bother when I'm ordering a pint
@BBCSounds @leicesterliz How exactly is putting a calorie count on a pump going to help people avoid the beer goggles of shame the next morning when you wake up with a traffic cone and next to Zelda of the Terrahawks? .... alcohol units would probably be better if we're going to be micromanaged 😳
@BBCSounds @leicesterliz Pint of your finest 231 calories landlord..... Said no one..... Ever..... Not even in a comedy sketch 🙈
@BBCSounds @leicesterliz I want a calorie count on all food and drink so I can know when I'm getting the best value. They have £/kg, why not £/kcal? 🤔
@BBCSounds @adamfleming @leicesterliz in the podcast she says why would you say no - I thought one of the concerns was the impact on people with eating disorders being discouraged from eating enough.
