BBC News - Takeaways are bad for you

[Kiltox]

..... £145.50 well spent.

I mean, seriously, what the fk? Since when was this news?

[Brigand]

Made me feel bad about the Tikka Massala I had last night.

Must be a slow news day, I mean, we always knew that take-away food was bad for us, didn't we?

[Kiltox]

I can just imagine people waking up to last night's leftover curry and then seeing this

Since there was a difference written into food standards legislature which drew a fairly clear cut line between "nasty food make tubby fatter", and "food entering the supply chain with additive levels significantly in excess of the legal limit". That is, assuming you're referring to this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-14768096

Just because it's not good for you, doesn't make it exempt from food standards, else why bother sending the EA around to make sure there's no rat st in their kitchen either?

That article's a bit better than the TV news report - stuff like "when nut-free chicken tikkas were ordered, 20% still contained nuts." etc wasn't reported.

Still, doubt it's headline news.

The license fee, I think or around half my travel day rate if I work for the BBC.

The only "enforcement agency " that get away with guilty until proven innocent too, it seems.

[FamilyGuy]

It's not actually a shock - is it? I was more surprised to hear on R4 that there is more salt in a thick slice of bread than in a packet of crisps. Since my family have a generations-old tradition of keeling over with heart attacks, I wasn't impressed.

It was on Radio 4 as well. Free, so you could eat another 15 lard curries.

LICENCE please.

Is this the standard of debate on PH now. Every time someone hears or sees an article they don't like on BBC news they start ranting about their licence fee?

"Dear BBC

Last night, there were three items on your 10 O'Clock news bulletin that I didn't agree with. This was the sixth time this has happened this week and I am absolutely incensed. I am therefore requesting a refund of my licence fee until such time as you only run reports which have been checked with me first in order to ensure that they are in line with ny viewpoints on life, the universe and everything".

Yours sincerely

Mr Angry
