Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

But... but.. I thought the words "lite" and "virtually fat free" were all it took! I mean, I can eat a whole pizza if it's a weightwatchers one and still be healthy, right? Is.. is that not how it works?

You can indeed, Empress Zhark, and it'll balance out a cheeseburger crust meat feast pizza with extra meat and extra feast, so net calories = zero :)

The milk thing is silly, since even blue top milk has hardly any fat in it.

Yoghurt nowadays is either fat free or super duper Greek style with added Jersey cream. What is fucking wrong with a titchy 4% fat normal yoghurt?

And the fat free ones taste purely of thickener too, people must have no taste buds to eat that shit.

On that very subject - supermarket sandwiches that are just dripping with mayonnaise. If you don't want a ton of fat on your sandwich so you get a mayo free one, it will have instead some faux yoghurt shit that's even fatter. Tw@s

Chilled sandwiches in their little plastic coffins *shudder*.

Right, I thought Joopsy had put me off enough but 'coffins' has ensured I'm never eating one again.

I'm not averse to the occasional supermarket sandwich but it would grind my gears if someone bought one with egg in it and opened it in my airspace. Poo-eeeeee!

Milk - exactly Vrap. Blue top 4% fat, it's not exactly 40% is it? Skimmed milk - utterly pointless, just paying for expensive water.

Fat free yoghurt - Hmm, but full to the brim of sugar - doh!
