Salty sliced bread

Now, as a van driver, I often don’t have time to go home for lunch.

For a while I was taking a bag of crisps with me and stopping for a burger somewhere for fifteen minutes, but then the wife started nagging me about my expanding stomach and told me to sort it out.

So now I’ve been making my own healthy sandwiches and cutting out the crisps.

I’ll admit I’ve been pleased with myself. I’ve not been having nearly as much unhealthy food, and having the willpower to drive past the shops I know stock my beloved snacks hasn’t been easy.

You can imagine how annoyed I am, then, to find out that apparently some slices of bread contain as much salt as a bag of crisps!

The Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) did a survey, and now I don’t know what’s ok to eat anymore.

Still, the weight I’d put on when I was eating crisps and burgers has come off, so maybe sandwiches are the better option for me.

It would be nice if every food didn’t have a scientifically proven down-side to it though.
