Your RDA of fruit and veg is 5 aday, crisps are made of potato and potato is a veg, so does it count? and what would happen to me if I ate 5 bags of crisps a day?

You wish! No it's considered junk food and if you ate 5 packets every day you would be exceeding your recommended salt levels for a start! You would also notice a change in your energy levels and skin condition (ie. spotty). Nice thought though!

Hum. For every bag of crisps, you need at least 5 portions of fruit. The salt is so so bad for you and the flavourings are also heinous... but what the hell! Dont please eat 5 bags a day unless you want to get clogged arteries and a bad heart!

Potato isnt a veg it is a carbohydrate so no it doesnt count towards your 5 a day.

No that doesn't count!I think it has to be 5 portions of fresh vegetables, or at least veg which is still vegand not be turned into something unhealthy.

5 day refers to FRESH fruit & veg, there's nothing fresh about crisps, totally refined food!

If you would have read the rules of the game properly you would have found out that it needs to be 5 different types of fruit and/or veg. Loser!

Unfortunately not. It annoys me that any kind of potatoes are not supposed to be included in this 5 a day.
But did you know that you can include baked beans, tomato soup and ketchup.
