Description: The cartoon shows a fish and chip shop in which there is a large sign reading 'News - Calls to standardise the size of a scoop of chips'. Taking his turn at the counter a man holding an enormous scoop tells the shop owner that he has brought along his own scoop. Refers to the news that the Chip Group wants chippies to start using a standard scoop, so portion sizes are consistent across the country. Chairperson Glenda Gourley says a scoop measuring 330 grams of uncooked chips can be purchased from catering equipment companies. She says there is also a health component to the call - too many chips not good. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
