Spuds not classed as part of the five a day Ha Ha

Ready meals may count towards five a day. Oh dear I thought, then I read on.

The government is considering adding its "five-a-day" logo to ready meals and tinned foods that contain fruit and vegetables.
Public Health England said it was discussing a range of options on extending use of the branding to help people eat more healthily.
Products would have to meet agreed standards on fat, sugar and salt. Currently the five-a-day logo can be used only on food or drink that is 100% fruit or vegetable.

The I read "Potatoes and cassava don't count because they mainly contribute starch to the diet" back of the net ! Anyone remember the resident dietitian trying to flog us spuds are necessary for vital nutrients etc. Ho Ho Ho

On a positive note though, you can eat 5 toffee apples !!!!

What about pot Noodles? The mushroom in the chicken and mushroom flavour must count towards one portion surely?

My profuse apologies! In future all references to them will be written as "The unnamed steaming pot of MSG sometimes endorsed by king Neptune..."

I recall the resident dietitian saying on a dietetics forum that potatoes should be a staple in a T2's diet
