Food book

Now my animal alphabet is done and dusted I am making a factual (ish) book on food. It will be aimed at adults but in a playful kiddie way like before.
Here are a few of my initial thought and images I have been playing around with - it has been a very sticky, sugary, greasy day!

A Big Mac takes 6 hours of solid walking to burn off



A Full English breakfast contains over half your daily salt intake

 The FDA allows up to 60 insect fragments per 100g of chocolate


 A can of cola has 10 tsp of sugar

 Corn is used to make a syrup sweeter than sugar

 Dohnuts are 25% oil

Honey never goes off

A hot dog can legally contain 30% fat and 10% water

 Worcestershire sauce is made from dissolved fish
