Hot chips

I think hot chips should be outlawed. They should be available with meals in restaurants (this is judgemental so maybe resturants should serve potato in another form like mash) but not in food courts and before 6 pm. It amazes me, this observation came from my father who doesn't really have strong opinions on many things but this and a few others, how many people need to have hot chips at 10 am when a banana, a yoghurt or even a fruit muffin would be a much healthier and yummier choice. Not to mention the strench of deep frying.
If hot chips were outlawed would it contribute to a lowering of obesity? Probably not but it is a thought that would be pleasing if true. I am working very hard to ensure that MS enjoys healthy foods and will choose them because she likes to eat them and be a healthy person. Also that exercise is part of our life not something extra you do eg bike riding, running around in the park. My rant has moved from chips to exercise but in the same vane.
Today i am going to try to not use the car, on weeks I only work 2 days it is possible to ahve a car free day. We have already been out for a coffee (and walk to the park) and later after lunch we might go to the shops again with the pram. Petrol free and exercise included at no cost (other than a few calories, and i have some to spare).
