gnvqsos Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think energy drinks are a major problems, boggles my mind when I see fat people necking cans of that monster drink in the street. The energy is converted to fat,not exercise,so Red Bull becomes red ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think energy drinks are a major problems, boggles my mind when I see fat people necking cans of that monster drink in the street. Most mornings on my way to work, I pass some primary-school kids on their way to school. They are usually clutching cans of pop (and bags of crisps and chocolate bars). This is at 8 in the morning, presumably that's the poor little sods' breakfasts? One or two of them look to be fairly hefty, even at such a young age. Not good.

Energy drinks are nothing but a con ! The bigger the name the bigger the price. They contain nothing much more than water, glucose(sugar) and salt. Anybody wanting to pay around £1.30 for the privilege, must be mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shef_Fitness Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Apparently they make you fat, have nothing but empty calories and are contributing to obesity and the lardy state. "Leading medical bodies are calling for a 20p-per-litre levy on soft drinks to be included in this year's Budget. More than 60 organisations, including the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, are backing the recommendation by food and farming charity Sustain. They say it would raise £1bn a year in duty to fund free fruit and meals in schools to improve children's health." Is this a brilliant idea that will raise money for much needed health education and nutritious school meals or is it the curmudgeonly, miserable busy bodies sticking their noses in where they aren't wanted? More likely a means of funding more non jobs and busy bodies poking their noses into everyones business. Or pay the wages of people with the clipboards who do there best to strangle the life out of grass roots sports. ---------- Post added 29-01-2013 at 21:31 ---------- Energy drinks are nothing but a con !

Thats not true, we sell Vimto Flavoured energy drinks for £7, a formulated sports drink that contains H2o formula, and this hydrates the body and aids with sugar replenishment. The ingrediants are one shot of vimto eight shots of water 6 shots of sugar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many are probably still in bed when their children leave for school, when they should be up ensuring they get their Weetabix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeX Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 we should ban all offers on food that is bad for you. The number of times I am told by a cashier "they are on offer you know, 2 for 1" which I reply "but I will eat 2 and I don't want 2" is usually responded to with a puzzled look.
