Puritanism strikes again

For more than a century, the humble but robust digestive has been Britain’s favourite biscuit for dunking into tea.

But now the makers of the leading McVitie’s brand are facing a backlash over a change to the traditional recipe that many loyal customers have found hard to swallow.

In a bid to make its products more healthy, United Biscuits has slashed the amount of saturated fat in the snacks by an ambitious 80 per cent.

The more they make us hate our little pleasures the more we shall hate ourselves and the fatter we will get. All that rage has to go somewhere.
