Rosie Stephens McVities Light Range Review	Hi Nicey, as a devoted fan of biscuits and a keen follower of your website, when I saw the article on McVities Light biscuits I felt I had to email you as just the other day I picked up the wrong pack of Hobnobs in the supermarket and came away with the "diet" version. I'm sure there are many people out there who, like yourself, love ANYthing oaty. I too enjoy oats but am not such an avid devotee and I must say this new Light Hobnob is not one I shall ever be buying again. Pale, lacking in nice oaty flakiness, and hard as nails (although this latter character does allow the tea-dunker a little extra time to chatter while on tea break before eating the suitablely softened so-called Hobnob). I found them somewhat lacking in flavour, unless you enjoy stale oats and loath the buttery yummy taste of real, properly calorific biccies. However, I am more than happy for McVities to continue their production of this range; while the figure-concious and oat-fanatic folk are out buying Light Hobnobs, they're leaving more of the proper oaty delicacies on the shelf for me....Hooray! Long live all those who feast on biccies daily! rosie
Brian Crowley McVities Light Range Review	Hi Nicey & all at NCOTAASD, Excellent review about all those new "Light" bikkies and nice to see you are willing to get down and dirty with some technical details when the occasion calls for it. Down here in Oz we have had outbreaks of so-called "Lite" things generally (not just biscuits) from time to time. Usually they have somewhat reduced fat content, but to compensate they tend to crank up the sugar content to rather frightening levels. Oh, and they might also take the opportunity to emphasise the word "Natural" on the packaging in connection with this. You gave an admirable commentary on the fat aspect of the McVities range but remained curiously silent on their sugar content. As it will probably be some time before we get to see any of the new McVities range, if at all, can you satisfy my curiosity and comment on this? Keep up the good work! BC
	Nicey replies: Hello Brian, Thankfully they didn't appear to ramp up the sugar, which as you point out is often the case in low fat recipes. One thing to bear in mind especially with the Digestive is that the standard biscuit is actually has a far higher fat content than most people suspect. So there is plenty of room for manoeuvre.
Molly Flatt McVities Light Range Review	Dear Nicey, First time I have mailed – but , ah, your website brightens my life like an all-chocolate KitKat finger. Whether that’s a reflection on NCOTAASD or my life… well. Anyway. I was absolutely forced to address the emergence of these low fat biscuits. All I can say is… IT’S A BISCUIT. If you want to look like Gillian McKeith go and have a sprout with your tea (which would most definitely be of the brilliantly classified blanket ‘unproper’ variety anyway, although probably something along the lines of fennel and rare bileberry). Why exactly you would want to look like a wizened vending-machine teabag anyway is questionable, but judging by the obviously hitherto-repressed little jets of vitriol bursting up here I think I’d better leave it at that. Once again. It’s a biscuit. Come on, nation. Let them have their naughtiness. Let something be full fat, full danger, full fun. It’s a sad day when choosing a standard-calorie garibaldi becomes a sign of recklessly antisocial pro-obesity-and-social-downfall derring-do. Up the biscuits. Molls xx
	Nicey replies: I find them interesting because they are a bit different eating wise.
