Whats really in our food? BBC1 9.15 (ie now)

They are challenging a family to eat healthy using supermarket food (ready meals by the looks of it:eek:)

Might be worth a watch

Yesterdays was very interesting, about hospital food standards, quite alarming too..

To be honest with what they are looking at, like the fact healthy living turkey being higher fat than the value range, I don't fall for that anymore anyway, healthy options are rarely better for you.

It only confirms what we aready know though. Shops are there to make money and will do it by blinding people with jargon if they have to.
I have often thought that the 'healthy range' in supermarkets was just a smaller portion of the basic range and they proved that,that was so on todays episode.

Although I suppose it depends on the type of fat - some being better for you than others. I mean, the product as a whole might be better for you even if it is higher in fat

Nothing in the product was better for you, that is what the programme was highlighting. I see people with trolleys full of 'healthy' food going through checkouts paying a fortune for the privledge, upsetting really that these people lack the knowledge to choose 'healthy' cuts of meat, fruit and veg instead of these ready meals, sweet treats etc. My mother is a nightmare for it, buys weightwatchers ready meals all the time, I do offer to give her 'ready meals' I have made myself from the freezer but she declines.
