CARBS ARE OFf

摘要

When Taylor Woodrow's site workers heard that the chip fryer had broken down and wouldn't be back in action for a week, it was a blow. Chips were a canteen favourite and the ones on this site were particularly good. Little did they suspect that they were the guinea pigs in an informal experiment to see if changing the menu cut the number of accidents on site. Carbohydrates like potatoes, bread and pasta used to be the everyday staples of the kitchen cupboard: cheap, filling and adaptable. But then Dr Atkins lurched onto the scene with his gut-busting diet of steak, butter and cheese and suddenly carbohydrates became the enemy. Carbs have been blamed for all sorts of things in recent years, from obesity to bloating to diabetes, so it was only a matter of time before they were accused of causing accidents on site, too.
