Kebabs, this gastronomic waste

Public health.Who has never eaten Kebab?This sandwich, whose supposed father died last week in Germany at the age of 87, conquered the bellies of France to the point of having become a must today during outings with friends or lunches onthumb.There are almost 10,000 Kebab snacks simply in Ile-de-France.But if it is appreciated by many, others refuse to hear about it, as the idea of swallowing a kebab revolves them.And for good reason: regularly, the press reports on unscrupulous and just as not very stifling practices.This time, the alert comes from across the Channel.

Lacors, governmental health control agency in the United Kingdom, has just made public the results of a survey conducted from April to July 2008.The survey aimed to study the content of the Doner Kebabs, and more precisely the meat content, the labeling of the products and the nutritional values of the sandwich.76 controllers crisscrossed the country and collected 494 samples through 11 of the 12 regions of the United Kingdom.

The results are overwhelming: on average, a kebab contains more than 1,000 calories, which represented more than half of the necessary contributions daily for a woman and 40 % for a man.We arrive for some kebabs tested at 80 % and for the worst at 136 % in terms of fat and 235 % for saturated fat.The worst Kebab, according to the Lacors report, contained 277 % of daily salt needs.The average content is 98 % of the needs of an adult ... and 148 % of the saturated fat contribution.Clearly, if you had to respect the recommended quantities, whenever you eat a kebab, you should ban yourself from swallowing anything from salty for 24 hours and not eating anything that can contain saturated fat (Water vegetables?) For 36 hours.Are you still hungry?According to Geoffrey Theobald, Lacors manager, these salt rates are very concern ("The Level of Saturated Fat and Salt in Somes is a serious cause for concern").

Another joy: 35 % of kebabs did not contain what they should have contained.Six Kebabs contained pork, two of which were allegedly "halal", which is reminiscent of the repeated fraud in France in the matter (see pig in the kebabs and merguez halal au porc, the charcuterie company condemned).Last but not least, the worst doner kebabs contained - always without sauce - up to 1,990 calories, more than 95 % of the contributions recommended for a woman and 80 % for a man, but also 346 % of the saturated fat levelsfor a woman.Last thing: Regarding the very weight of the kebabs, the controllers found that there was not really any difference between a small kebab and a large kebab (except perhaps the price?)?.

While the question of obesity is in the United Kingdom, as elsewhere, which has become a question of society, this new survey comes to reinforce the conclusions of the Food Standards Agency which already in 2006 revealed that 18.5 % of Doner Kebabs constituted a"important" threat to public health, and 0.8 % of them an imminent threat.
