Less fat in a portion of fish and chips than in a sandwich:

The total fat content of an average portion of fish and chips is estimated to be 48.2g. This compares favourably with a cheese and ham sandwich with mayonnaise which has 51.98g fat and a donner kebab in pitta bread with salad and chips, which has a total fat content of 57.74g.

An average portion of fish, chips and peas contains only 7.3% fat of which 2.8% is saturated fat. This compares with 10.8% fat in a pork pie and 16.8 grams you will find in a tuna mayonnaise sandwich.

So 2 organisations that promote fish & chips claim they contain less fat than an exceptionally high fat sandwich containing unknown and chosen by them quantities of exceptionally high fat ingredients. More useless information would be hard to find.

Beef dripping has less total calories than palm fat:

220/100g versus 216/100g. Maybe you also noticed they were comparing unequal samples, making such figures completely worthless.
