Britain Unleashes Horde Of Doner Kebab Police

I love lots of stuff about the ol' UK, but they seem to have collectively lost their minds: Health survey skewers kebabs

Doner kebabs, standard takeaway fare for thousands of Britons following a night out, contain "shocking" amounts of salt and fat, and many may include meat that is not listed as an ingredient....

The Local Authority Coordinators of Regulatory Services (LACORS) which coordinated the research, said it had revealed "shocking figures" about the contents of doner kebabs.

"We would never consider kebabs part of a calorie-controlled diet, but the level of saturated fat and salt in some is a serious cause for concern," said Geoffrey Theobald, chairman of LACORS....

The study, which involved tests on 494 kebabs by officers from 76 local authorities across Britain...


No word on if the Army will have to be called in to quell the resulting "kebab riots."

On a related note....I'd kill for a doner kebab right about now.
