kendal mint cakes questions

[tali122]

mountaineers use kendal mint cake - how many bars do they have to consume to get their energy? -and isnt all that sugar actually bad for you? is it worth eating for everyday use as a "pick me up"?

[Ethel]

Mountaineers eat bits of mint cake as needed - it's not a matter of eating a certain amount.

The sugar isn't bad for people who are burning a lot of energy, both by physically moving and the effort of keeping warm in very cold temperatures. It is an essential life saver.

It is totally unnecessary and bad for you if are sedentary and warm.
