'Pack-a-day crisp habit' warning



Half of UK children "drink" almost five litres of cooking oil every year as a result of their pack-a-day crisp (chips) habit, experts warn.

Nearly a fifth of children eat two packets of crisps per day, says the British Heart Foundation.

A typical 35g bag of crisps contains about two-and-a-half teaspoons of oil, whilst a larger 50g pack contains three-and-a-half.
