Can eating chocolate help you get healthy and fit?

Well, apparently some people think so!

The chocolate makers Cadbury’s have been launching a scheme where children can collect tokens from chocolate wrappers for sports equipment!

           Health experts disagree totally with this scheme as it encourages children to eat more chocolate! 

          The Food Commission say it’s stupid that a sweets company is encouraging children to do more exercise by eating more sweets!

           To get a basketball worth about £10 you’d have to eat 170 bars of chocolate which would cost about £71!

           Those who disagree with this scheme also say that you’d need to do loads of exercise to burn off all the calories and fat from all the chocolate you’ve been scoffing! In fact you’d have to do about 90 hours of exercise to burn off 170 bars of chocolate!

           Chocolate and exercise do not go together!
