What you should NEVER order for kids at a fast food chain. On every high street in every town, city and country, a fast food restaurant can be found. So it's little wonder that childhood obesity is classed by the World Health Organization as one of the most serious public health challenges that we face today. Netflix issued its first quarter user gains report to investors today and the fact that it fell short of user growth estimates caused a brief drop in the streaming. Nutritionist and weight loss expert Lily Soutter has picked apart the children's menus at some of the most popular fast food chains to find out what you should never order for your child when you next visit a branch. And she's also revealed the healthiest kids' meals available at the same restaurants, so you can make a more informed choice next time you dine out. MCDONALD'SNutritionist and weight loss expert Lily Soutter has found out what you should never order for your child at a fast food chain, including a cheeseburger with bun at Mc. Donald's. LILY SAYS NEVER ORDER.. Main - Cheeseburger with bun: This option contains the highest salt (1. Side - Fries: It's a no brainer that deep fried food gets a big thumbs down. Not only is the healthier part of the potato removed - the skin where most of the fibre and nutrients are found - but they are also cooked in large quantities of fat and are lathered with salt. Drink Option 1 - Tropicana: Whilst some may think that fruit juice is healthy, it's still full of sugar at the end of the day and it is a fast way of causing blood sugar imbalances. Fruit juice is high in fructose, a type of sugar, which has been shown to lead to fatty liver disease, obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Option 2 - Robinsons Fruit Shoot: Despite having no additional sugar, it does contain preservatives and at least two types of sweeteners. AND WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDERInstead of a cheeseburger, buy fish fingers for your kids if you're taking them to a Mc. Donald's. Main Option 1 - Fish Fingers: Not only is fish is a lean source of protein which can help to keep blood sugar levels stable, it is also extremely low in calories and saturated fat, providing only 0. Option 2 - Hamburger without the bun: Mc. It’s no secret that Comcast has a terrible track record with customer service. The horror stories flew in fast and furious for a few years, causing Consumerist to. Maybe you get bad customer service because you’re a bad customer.
Donalds really have come up trumps with the quality of their burgers. Patties are now made with 1. There's also the added benefit of the healthy toppings, which include onions and pickles. Side - Carrot sticks: When it comes to health it's not rocket science to know that carrots sticks trump potato fries any day. Packed full of immune boosting beta- carotene and fibre, this is one option that shouldn't go amiss. Dessert - Apple and grape fruit bag: Containing just apple and grapes, this option really is as simple as it sounds. This little bag is portion controlled and provides children with one of their five a day. Drink - Organic semi- skimmed milk or water: You may be surprised at this but Mc. Donald's actually serves organic milk, making it a perfect replacement for milkshakes or fizzy drinks. PIZZA HUT LILY SAYS NEVER ORDER.. Main - Big Heroes Fried Breaded Chicken and Fries: With 2. Those aged 4- 6 should only have 3g of salt per day. Side - Fries: The kid's menu automatically comes with a side salad. By adding fries from the adult menu, the calorie intake would be far to high. Dessert - Banana Waffle: This is shockingly high in sugar with 6. In fact, all the waffles on the kids' menu have a minimum 4. Drink - Milkshakes: Those found on the kids' menu can contain up 4. Children should also avoid the fizzy drinks station. Though unlimited Pepsi may sound appealing, it's a fast track to an unhealthy lifestyle.. AND WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDERMain - Little Hero's Oven Baked Breaded Chicken, without the fries: Oven baked is a healthier alternative and chicken is a great, low fat source of protein, important for your little one's growth and development Side - Cucumber and Pepper Sticks: A fun, low fat alternative to fries that also helps to boost the all- important veg count Dessert - Del Monte Ice Lolly: An orange juice ice- lolly, containing only natural ingredients – it also takes much longer to consume than regular fruit juice Drink - Fresh milk or water KFCLily says never order the Kids' Burger at a KFC for your children as it has the highest calorie and salt content on the kids menu. LILY SAYS NEVER ORDER.. Main - Kids' Burger: Not only does this chicken burger have the highest calorie and salt content, it is also a source of white refined carbohydrates, which can lead to weight gain and blood sugar imbalances. Side - Chips: Luckily on the kids' menu, KFC only offers sweet corn. But it's vital that children are not tempted to order chips from the adult menu, as they will simply be consuming far to many calories than they need. Dessert - White Chocolate Krushems: Whilst the only option on the kids' menu is the Innocent Fruit Tube, it's important they don't veer over to the adult menu. Some of the milkshakes can contain up to 5. Drinks - Robinson's Fruit Shoot.. AND WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDERLily says buy the Kids' Mini Breast Fillet and Tomato Meal at KFC for your children but swap the Fruit Shoot for water. Main - Kids' Mini Breast Fillet and Tomato Meal: Chicken is a lean source of protein that will help to keep blood sugar and energy levels stable. Try replacing the tomato sauce with the addition of avocado for a low sugar, healthy fat alternative,Side - Sweetcorn: Extremely high in fibre, antioxidants and a healthy source of carbohydrate, what's not to like?! Dessert - Innocent Fruit Tube: With only 2. This option also comes with additional fibre, which most desserts just don't offer. Drink - Water. BURGER KINGLily advises you not to order the Kids' Cheeseburger with bun for your children if visiting Burger King. LILY SAYS NEVER ORDER.. By removing the bun, they can also avoid the nutritionally void white refined carbohydrates. Main - Apple Fries: These apple fries contain all the fibre and nutritional benefits that come with apples and are a great alternative to potato fries. Dessert - Apple Pie Stick: With only 3g of sugar per stick and 1. Drink - Water. NANDO'SLILY SAYS NEVER ORDER.. Main - Chicken Burger: High in salt and white refined carbohydrates, this choice is worlds apart from the healthiest option on the menu. Side - Chips or Garlic Bread: Both options break down rapidly into sugar within the blood stream, which can result in a blood sugar and energy crash. Dessert - Bottomless Frozen Yoghurt: High in sugar, and with the 'all you can eat' option, portion control may go out the window. Drinks - Apple or Strawberry Cordial .. AND WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDERMain - Chicken Breast Fillet Strips: This lean meat is low in calories, saturated fat, and rich in good quality protein, which is essential for growth and development. Side - Corn on the Cob, Sweet Potato Mash, Sweet Potato Wedges, Little Tomatoes or Supergrain: Supergrain has 4. Dessert - Chilly Billy Lolly: Definitely the best pick on the menu, with only 2. Drink - Organic milk or water. A spokeswoman for Mc. Donald's said: 'We are always working on our Happy Meal and in recent years have evolved our recipes to reduce the amount of salt in the typical Happy Meal by 4. Furthermore we've increased our drinks offer and now less than a quarter of Happy Meals are sold with a sugary fizzy drink.' A Nando's spokesman commented: 'Providing our younger customers with healthy choices on our menu is very important to Nando's. This is why we offer a range of children's menu items to suit different needs & occasions.' A spokeswoman from Pizza Hut Restaurants said: 'All our menus offer a broad choice, including pizza, pasta and wraps and we offer a complimentary salad bar to all our guests. We are committed to producing a wide range of freshly prepared, high quality food which can be enjoyed as a treat and as part of a balanced diet.' Mail.

Whether it’s being made to sing on a stage in front of your colleagues to build team spirit, or doing trust falls to improve rapport, most people dread workplace team- building events like little else. Here are the 1. 0 worst events you reported. A slam book for grown- ups“During a previous job, I worked in a team that was having trouble getting along, so they brought in someone to help us work together as a team. We had to go around the room and tell each other what we didn’t like about each other. We might have also had to add what we did like about each other but I honestly only remember the criticisms and the people bursting into tears. We went from simply not being able to work together to actively disliking each other in about 3. Then we ate a boxed lunch and ended the day by filling out personality tests.”2. Nearly trampled by a horse“My team did . One of the horses got over- excited, galloped towards the center of the barn where we were being briefed, and nearly trampled one of my co- workers. It was a bonding experience to a certain extent, but only because we all thought we were going to die.”3. Lions and monkeys“We had an exercise run by a consultant who determined what kind of workplace animal each of us was. The boss turned out to be a . I turned out to be a . My coworkers were told that they weren’t allowed to tell me to tidy my workspace because it would stifle my natural simian creativity.”4. Bathing with your managers“I work in Japan, and my worst team- building exercise has been taking a bath with my boss and supervisors, although only of the same gender. After showering and washing your hair in a group facility, you sit in the bath (which is a natural hot spring) together and talk and bond. The idea is that when you are naked, everyone is equal and you will feel free to discuss things and joke about things that you wouldn’t in the office setting.”5. Peanut attack“My office had a . I got in trouble for refusing to participate. Participating would have meant risking death – yes I’m that allergic to peanut products. The temple of the dolphin“I once had to sit through two hours of a team- building exercise that first involved us all sitting cross- legged on the floor, holding hands with our eyes closed, while the leader described us flying over the ocean into the “temple of the dolphin.” She got very vivid in her description of this imaginary place. It was incredibly difficult not to laugh. After we opened our eyes, we had to watch videos of dolphins and point out the leadership skills they were demonstrating. We did that for well over an hour.”7. Bathroom deprivation“One of the top people at one place I worked organized a mandatory party on a weekend afternoon and made it clear people had to show up at 1 p. Hourly workers didn’t get paid for their time but had to show up (he had someone take attendance), and when everyone got there, they discovered that the food and the big prize drawing were not going to be held until three (or maybe four) hours later. The party was outside and he supplied a lot of beer and not much else. Partway through, it started to mist and drizzle. He wouldn’t let anyone who wasn’t a supervisor inside his home — not to get out of the rain, and not to use the bathroom. There were no other facilities. And they took attendance again when the food came out to make sure everyone had stayed.”8. Purging ceremony“My office went through an incredibly difficult period when we added a new associate and it went horribly. He had to be let go and it was hard on the entire staff, as everyone had resentment toward various components of his work ethic (or lack thereof). A consultant recommended a team- building retreat out of town, complete with cabins, dinners out, shopping on the owner’s dime, etc. It was all fun and games until the consultant held an increasingly uncomfortable debriefing session where we had to write down what didn’t like about the associate who was fired, then had to go around and share aloud. Then the consultant passed around a box for the slips of paper and presented the box to the owner and very seriously said, . Bonded through spitting“We had to take a big gulp of soda, and spit the soda into a partner’s mouth! It was incredibly disgusting. I have no idea who thought that was a good idea, and who approved it. Some of the guys got into it, but most everyone declined.”1. Outdoor terrors“My boss was organizing an event for an offsite, and he decided that we should go canyoning. He knew that a colleague and I were afraid of heights (me) and small enclosed spaces (her). Both of us had been trying to slowly push our boundaries, and he thought this exercise would be fun because it would also assist us in something we were trying to accomplish privately. The event began with a 5. That’s a 1. 65- feet drop. And as you dropped, the walls of the cliffs narrowed into this dark narrow space, with a mountain lake in the bottom. We gritted our teeth and did that part, only to realize the next stages were worse. It was a half- day event, and having started, the only way was to finish the course. There was hyperventilating and actual tears.”The fix? So if you’re planning a team- building event for your office, how can you avoid having it become an event that people dread and complain about? These tips will help: Don’t choose activities that might violate people’s dignity, privacy, or personal space. Something you might enjoy with close friends isn’t always appropriate for the workplace. Realize that what’s fun for some people is miserable for others. This especially includes athletic activities and public performances. A top complaint about team- building exercises is that they have no bearing on how people spend their time the other 3. If the team- building is meant to fix a communication or morale problem, it’s probably not the right solution. Those issues require management to step in and take action.
