Walkers Crisps
Walkers are giving away Walk-ometers, you know, those pedometers that measure how many steps you take.

Who thinks the government told them to do some healthy promotion?

or are they just concerned about the state of the nation's health?

Hmmmm...

or possibly they are concerned about slowing sales due to a greater interest in health throughout the population and are trying to keep sales up with something that would helps lazy people who think they should be healthy, but don't really want to do anything about it cheat their way through exercising

What is the point in a step-o-meter? its seriously pathetic. A step is such a pointless unit of measurement. is this supposed to convince fat people who walk to the fridge and back every ten minutes that they are doing themselves good by doing so?

DO SOME REAL EXCERCISE FATTY!!

my dad uses it when he goes running, it tells him how many calories and an estimated distance I think.

yeah but thats a proper one and he ACTUALLY goes running. so there's obviously a point to it. what pisses me off is fat people who'd say things like "look aggie, I've done 500 steps all week! I feel thinner already." I just think they are convincing people who do fuck all to look after themselves that by wrenching themselves off the sofa every now and then that they are doing themselves the world of good.
I know that something is better than nothing but he fact that these things are given away by crisp manufacturers, chocolate companies and Mcdonalds sits a bit uneasily with me.
