  • Wren Kitchens has visualised your recommended daily intakes for fat, sugar, and salt in a series of photographs to offer some perspective.
  • It found that a large McDonald’s Big Tasty meal would tip you over the edge of your RDI of fat and that one venti Starbucks chai latte would cost you nearly half your RDI of sugar.
  • The retailer also found that there was more salt in two slices of buttered wholemeal toast than a 50g bag of salted peanuts.

Most of us know by now that some popular breakfast staples, such as cereals, have a surprisingly high sugar content, and that we should avoid eating overly processed foods.

Yet just last week Cancer Research said that millennials are set to be the fattest generation on record. According to current estimates, it claims that more than seven in 10 of those born between the early 80s and mid 90s are set to be overweight or obese between the ages of 35-44.
