"saturated" news and stories

Haggis, the infamous Scottish dish consisting of sheep lungs, livers, heart, oatmeal, onions, and various other spices, has been put on the list of restricted foods for children in the UK. Many traditionalists are angered by this, saying that good quality haggis is made out of wholesome ingredients. Officials say they have restricted it due to its high saturated fat and salt content.

Haggis is still something I have yet to try. Yes, we all know that it is typically the butt of all jokes here in the US. But, after watching Tony Bourdain tuck into a large one on TV, I've actually been intrigued enough to maybe try it, when I get the chance.

On a side note, officials have suggested reducing the fat and salt content. But, what would haggis really be without these? I'm sure that many of its positive aspects have to come from its rich texture.
