Lads, rather than giving the op a hard time for eating chips, and whether thats a good idea, can we please get back to the topic. Can anyone answer the question: Chippers: are they required, and do they, change cooking oil at regular, set intervals. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a requirement to change it after a set number of days. Restaurant I worked in changed theirs whenever it started to get a bit greasy/dirty. It kind of depends on how busy the chipper is too.

It's kind of a pointless question though cause you might go in one day when they've literally just changed the oil and then go in the next time and it's the last day before they're gonna change it.

I don't eat cornflakes. Porridge FTW

The delusional comment was more pointed at the fact that the OP thinks they can't eat anything else in the car.

I love chips as well. Especially dripped in garlic sauce. I have no problem with them but I don't eat them because there is nothing else to eat which is what seems the OP is doing.

My point is if I had high cholesterol and continued to eat deep fried chips I wouldn't worry to much about the freshness of the oil.

Even chips cooked in freshly changed oil are bad for your cholesterol.

The OP needs to think outside the chip box and eat something healthy in their car...salads, wraps, sambos, rolls....the opportunities are endless

Yes i do believe that fat in your diet clogs your arteries, especially saturated fat

I agree completely there are so many things that can be taken with you and eaten on the go that are healthy and this would cut out worrying about cholesterol the list is too long to mention but people are too lazy to prepare a healthy snack in advance - I think some people just cant think straight because they eat CHIPS all the time and its proven a poor diet can make you go la la after a while your brain slows down and you become lethargic and you cant function properly.

I agree with you nowayjosie i have high cholestral down to a bad diet and i have now changed my diet as i did not want to start medication i find if i eat a takeaway even once in a while i feel lethargic.
I would stick to the food i am eating now which i know are good for me in the long run

I bet you do stick to it and you'll feel great so long as you opt for the healthy stuff which is much cheaper in the long run and much tastier too. Any thing deep fried is bad for you regardless if the oil is changed every day! Children that are fed on this kind of crap do very badly at school and its known that some of them nod off in class, this is not to mention the weight problems caused by living from the chipper for dinner, and for snacks.

If OP is worried about cholesterol then avoid fast food completely, simples...
I speak from experience, I had high cholesterol and lost 4.5 stone and got my cholesterol back on track in just 6 months while driving for a living, I found it easier to imagine the chipper didnt exist instead of being worried about their food, oil, salt ect..

Thanks, it has made my life better and my wife and kids, we all have a different diet now. Im not perfect and do eat some of the wrong things now and then but I am able to control my weight and cholesterol. I can walk 5k now without breaking into a sweat and I couldnt walk 5 meters before..

I found it easy to completely change my diet and I cut out all sugar, salt, processed food and fast food. I think it was the new diet that made it easy instead of trying to rearrange the diet I had.
