Father's Day treats contain 'reckless' sugar levels, shoppers warned
Retailers are packing their Father's Day chocolate ranges with record levels of sugar and calories – putting dads at risk of a host of health conditions. An analysis found some paternal-themed bars and treats include almost a week's worth of sugar in a single item. Critics and nutritionists blasted the use of 'humour' and 'oversized packaging' to target men with products that pose 'real health risks'. As part of their Father's Day range Morrisons offers a 360-gram Toblerone Milk Chocolate Bar packing a worrying 216 grams of sugar or the equivalent of 54 teaspoons of sugar, plus an astonishing 1,822 calories. NHS experts say the average adult should consume no more than 30 grams of sugar a day or seven teaspoons worth - plus a maximum 2,500 calories for a man. High-sugar diets lead to having too many calories, which leads to weight gain, while being overweight increases your risk of heart problems such as heart disease, some cancers and type 2 diabetes. And similar levels of sugar were found in treats from rival chains. Marks & Spencer says its 'Big Daddy bar' has been recognised as 'the UK's answer to Dubai chocolate' - a popular bar filled with pistachio - thanks to its 'irresistible pistachio flavour '. But nutritional information for the treat posted online shows it packs an extremely high 119 grams of sugar - the same as 30 teaspoons and more than four days' worth, plus a waist-expanding 1,500 calories. Sainsbury's offers 200-gram box of Lindt Lindor Pistachio Milk Chocolate Truffles as part of its Father's Day range. But small print on the supermarket giant's website confirms the 'bliss' inducing treat packs a hefty 84 grams of sugar – that equates to 21 teaspoons of sugar or three days' worth - plus 1,252 calories. Paul Evans, registered nutritionist at The Nutritionist UK, said: 'The levels of sugar being packed into these so-called 'Father's Day treats' are not just excessive — they're reckless. 'We're talking about single products containing nearly a week's worth of sugar, sold under the guise of a novelty gift. 'This is indulgence pushed to the point of absurdity. There's a worrying trend in how food brands target men — using humour, oversized packaging, and 'treat culture' to disguise the fact these products pose very real health risks' Elsewhere, Tesco is selling its own Toblerone themed treat designed to give dad's waistline a battering. The 400-gram Toblerone Tiny Milk, white and dark Chocolate Bars Pouch includes a tooth decay inducing 163 grams of sugar or the same as 40 teaspoons of sugar. That's almost six days' worth of the white stuff. The 35 Toblerone treats per bag specials also includes an eye-watering 1,476 calories. Tesco said: 'From grooming kits to books, we offer a great range of affordable products in store and online to help families celebrate Father's Day this year.' Mondelez International, makers of Toblerone added: 'These products are intended as an occasional treat and are clearly labelled to ensure they can be consumed as part of a healthy and balanced diet. 'We offer a wide range of different products and sizes to suit the varied needs of our consumers, each of which have nutritional information on pack. All other supermarkets were contacted for comment.

Willie Geist on the Moment it Hit Him That Daughter Lucie is Leaving for College
Family life is about to change for Sunday TODAY host Willie Geist: his oldest child, Lucie, will be leaving for college late this summer. 'We just had a high school graduation a few days ago for Lucie Geist,' Willie told TODAY anchors (and dads!) Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Carson Daly and Peter Alexander at a TODAY Father's Day celebration. 'All the best stuff is still coming,' Willie said. At the same time, he isn't sure what life will be like when Lucie moves away. Willie, his wife, Christina, and their 15-year-old son, George, will have to figure out how to recalibrate living in their home as a family of three most of the time. 'We feel like we've done the best we can. She's a great kid, and so we're thrilled for her,' Willie said. 'But we're a family of four. Somebody's taken a tire off the car and you've got to figure out how to drive the car on three wheels, you know?' Peter Alexander reminded Willie of how wonderful it can be to begin a whole new phase of your parental relationship with the younger child. 'I don't know how he feels about that, but we're excited about it,' Willie joked about George. Willie and Christina have been struggling with the fact that Lucie is not going to be living nearby — she's moving several hours away. For now, the couple can track Lucie's whereabouts on an app, but they plan to sign off while she's at school, noting that seeing her location at all times might be more troubling than reassuring. 'Look,' said Al Roker. 'I think it's one of those things where at a certain point you've got to give it up to God, you know? You've done what you can. And you're just there to catch them.' Willie also spoke about Lucie's milestone when he co-hosted TODAY With Jenna & Friends on June 10. 'As any parent who has been through this — or maybe you're going through it right now — knows, the excitement at times becomes terror,' he shared. 'The graduation week, there are parties and things at school. You're kind of busy ... and then all of the sudden you're sitting there and you're looking up at that stage and go, 'Oh, that's her! That's Lucie. That's my daughter walking across and shaking the hand of the principal and getting the diploma,'' Willie told Jenna. 'She was on stage speaking, which was an amazing thrill, and I think that's when it really hit me and Christina,' he added. 'All of a sudden, she's ready to go,' he said. 'And you hope you've instilled in her all the values and the habits and the things she'll need to go out in the world.' This article was originally published on

TODAY Dads on Working Dad Guilt and How They Make Family a Priority
The TODAY dads had an early Father's Day celebration with a heartfelt chat, some craft cocktails ... and even some friendly competition in New York City's Central Park. After Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Carson Daly, Willie Geist and Peter Alexander raced rowboats near Bethesda Fountain, they relaxed at the Central Park Boathouse, exchanged a few dad jokes and talked about fatherhood. Many of the anchors spoke about how becoming a father impacted their travel schedule for work. 'When the kids were younger, I was traveling a lot more than I do now. And this guy gave me some solid advice a few years ago,' Craig said, gesturing to Carson. 'You have to travel last minute and you miss some stuff, and you start feeling guilty about it. And Carson was like, 'It's not about quantity, it's about quality.' Make the time that you're there memorable,' Craig said. Together with his wife, Lindsay Czarniak, he is raising son Delano, 11, and daughter Sybil, 8. When Peter gets a call to travel somewhere on a Friday, all he can think about is wanting to be at home on the weekends with his family: wife Alison Starling, 11-year-old Ava and 10-year-old Emma. 'We're going to barbecue something, we're going to put on some Morgan Wallen. I have FOMO. I don't want to miss out on that,' he said. 'So I'm going to fly in the morning and fly back that night.' Before Willie had kids, he used to extend work travel to visit friends. 'The minute Lucie was born — so 18 years ago — it was like there was this homing beacon placed right in your chest,' he said. 'And the minute you were done with the interview or whatever it was, it was like, 'I got to get to the airport.'' The pull was even stronger once they added son George to the family, he shared. 'Well, we also do it because we can do it,' said Carson, who, along with wife Siri Daly, is raising four kids: son Jackson and daughters Etta, London and Goldie. Carson turned to Al and added, 'Your dad was a bus driver. He couldn't just take off.' 'My dad was just constantly working,' said Al. 'I remember a couple of times he would call us in and he says, 'Listen, Dad's got a chance to do some overtime. You're not going to see me tonight.' And he would sleep at the depot.' On the other hand, Al said that one of his fondest memories was when his dad would let Al ride the bus for eight hours while he drove. 'It was long before Take Your Kids to Work Day,' he joked. 'I used to hold it against my dad for a long time because he worked third shift as a mail clerk,' said Craig. 'It's not until you get older and you have your own children, and you have to work to provide for them that you understand the sacrifice, you know? But back then it was like, 'Oh, Dad's not at my Little League game.'' Each of the TODAY dads plans to spend this Father's Day in a slightly different way. Al, who is a father of three to Courtney, Leila and Nick and grandfather to Sky, Courtney's daughter, plans to spend the day at the grill while upstate with his family. 'It's funny,' said Al. 'Deborah (my wife) keeps saying, 'Why are you cooking?' I said, 'Because this is my happy place. I love to do this.'' 'God was smart. God put one of the four golf majors on Father's Day weekend,' Carson joked. 'So our United States Open will be on. I watched it with my father, and I will force my children to watch it with me. We'll have a fire burning in the fireplace, there'll be a cold beer involved. Definitely some barbecuing.' Willie shares that his Father's Day plans are 'up to the kids. So I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that I'm lucky enough to have my father about 30 minutes away. I'll get to be with my kids and then we can all get in the car and go be with my dad. So that is a blessing.' For many dads, Father's Day is a day to 'peace out and go play golf, disappear till dinner,' Peter said. 'In our house, it's the opposite. Everybody's here. We're all together. I don't care what the plan is, we can do anything you like, we're just going to do it together.' 'As I get older, my favorite pastime is doing absolutely nothing,' said Craig. 'So I have asked my family to allow me to do absolutely nothing.' 'Or you just play (golf) really early,' joked Carson. 'I can be home by 9.' 'Wow. Now I guess we know what you're doing!' joked Al.
