A new fashion is wreaking havoc among young people in England: they deprive themselves of food to be able to drink more, so as not to gain weight …
Drink more while eating less
You almost think it is the moral of a fable, or a popular saying. In England, more than a third of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 report skipping meals in order to be able to drink more, replacing calories from food with those from alcohol.
This new phenomenon and at least as worrying as binge drinking is called drunkenness, contraction of drunkenness and anorexia.. Young people who practice it compensate for the caloric intake of alcohol by periods of fasting, so as not to gain weight.
Young English people ignore food hygiene rules
The same, interviewed in a poll, do not know the harmful effects of saturated fat, overconsumption of salt or sugar, and most of the basic rules of food hygiene… While believing on the contrary well informed.
In England, obesity takes its toll from an early age: 1 in five children in kindergarten is already overweight.
