I don’t think there is a day goes by that we are not reminded that our excessive lifestyles arn’t doing us any good. Whether it is mass consumerism and excess car use adding to the greenhouse effect or whether it is our excessive consumption of  junk food making us fat.  We need to seriously start to respect our bodies and the quality of the food we put into them if we are to avoid obesity and early death.

Is it really down to the Government to police obesity? Arn’t we capable of being selective about what we put in our stomachs? Unfortunately it can be difficult to eat healthily when we don’t really know what healthy is because the idea of healthy has been hijacked by food manufacturers so they can sell us their dubious “healthy” products. Remember genuine healthy food has no need to make health claims on the packet!
