Ok. So, there's an upscale hotel in Scotland,The Hilton Grosvenor, that serves a traditional Glasgow tea that, amazingly, has 1,600 calories and enough saturated(bad) fat to more than fulfill your daily saturated fat cosumption. This is madness! The manager of the lavish hotel claims the concerns of upset nutritionists, who are bashing the menu item, are unwarranted, stating "No one is going to eat a Glasgow tea every day". I certainly hope not! Hell, 1600 calories is a lot, considering it would take 3 quarter pounders or an entire medium pizza to equal this. I mean, who eats three quarter pounders or an entire pizza in one sitting? I'll tell you who-a person who's gonna' have a very non-productive day! Think of the blood sugar spike you'll experience after consuming that many calories! A food adviser to First Minister Alex Salmond says:
"Scotland has already gained a dreadful reputation because of the notoriety of the deep-fried Mars bar and this just adds to it," she said. "I can only hope that this menu is meant to be funny, but our health as a nation is no laughing matter."
I'll say it's no laughing matter. As a person who feels restaurants should curb some of the fattening foods they serve on a daily basis, I'm absolutely flabbergasted by this information!
