Sports Stars Promoting Junk Food

[vernonk]

Gary Lineker advertising crisps, Daniel Sturridge the new face of Subway. Is it right sports stars advertise junk food?

[knowabit]

Are crisps really junk food? What exactly is junk food? and would it only be junk if it was eaten everyday?

[Cloverjo]

They're going to make their money any way they can, while they can. I'm not sure Subway sells junk food anyway. It's just sandwiches.

I hate the term junk food... we used to have bring a dish events at school, and they always used to put on the ticket 'no junk food'. It always bugged me...

[vernonk]

I recall a survey of fast food from a few years ago Subway rated the unhealthiest

I agree with Cloverjo. A '12" pastrami and brie with all the trimmings on brown, to go" is only the same as a Ham Salad sandwich at home. Don't class it as junk food. But by the same token I don't eat at Subway.

Our so called celebrities will do anything to increase their already bursting bank accounts. You only have look in the TV programme guide to see "celebrity" this, that or the other.

The only reason I don't think they should advertise Subway is because of it using halal meat.

[ummmm]

All food is fine eaten in moderation. The problem is greedy people.

back in the day sports stars used to promote cigs!

I remember getting very upset when Carol Vorderman was advertising a loans company. Because my nan loved her and thought if Carol said it was a good firm with all her maths knowledge well then it must be!

It would be nice if 'celebrities' had a conscience about what they advertise but money talks....

I agree about the term "junk food"....no such thing. However, there IS a "junk diet".

To much GL on the box anyway could he not just leave with AH ?
