Is it just me who finds this surprising?

Uk people will have heard of the biscuits Hobnob's and they're oats version. For 300g you pay £1.19. And per 100g it has 473 calories in it. The whole pack is about 1420 calories. Is it just me or 1420 calories for just over a pound a bit mad. Now obesity all makes sense

Obesity is not a result of the products made; it's the result of Uneducated people mowing down food without a care

I could eat 2 pounds of sugar for a dollar and get ~3500 calories....mmmm...sugar

i think you got a really good point , for instance i went to my local supermarket earlier this week and bought 4 bags of frozen raw king prawns which were half price at £2.50 per bag , so theyre usualy £5 per bag with only 1 meals worth in each bag (around about 15 prawns per bag) , whereas for £1 i could get a box of 50 processed beef burgers which would easily do me 25 meals so for the price of 1 low calory high protein clean meal i could of bought 125 high calory high fat processed meals (if prawns were full price) !
that to me in a world where everyone is encouraged to eat good and live a healthy life plus the fact that a prawn fisherman can bring up over 5000 prawn per net is ridiculous !

In reality you're the chump who just bought expensive prawns when you could easily figure out how to use the cheap beef to meet your fat and protein needs. Beef is beef, most likely there are a few additives to it, but nothing to cry over.

so i could of used cheap burgers which are around 300kcal per burger 16g of protein and 16g of fat to replace a bag of prawns which is 230 kcal 43g of protein and 5g of fat :S id have to somehow take 2 3rds of the burger with 3 times the amount of protein and 1 3rd the amount of fat ,,, impossible if you ask me
