The UK Government have released a 12 week plan to tackle obesity as a reaction to the correlation to the number of Covid-19 deaths. Most of the deaths are due to underlying health issues and many of these are diet and lifestyle related. The Government is proposing such things as banning junkfood adverts before the watershed time of 9 pm, banning sports events being sponsored by retailers and producers of junkfood and stopping the sale of sweets and snacks at supermarket checkouts. They're...

Did you know that our food imports far outweigh what we export? At least that's the situation here in UK, I'd imagine it's no different elsewhere. This astounding fact I only learned very recently and has got me asking why we import far more food than we export when we clearly have more than enough for our own purposes.

Recently I embarked on a 31 Day Food Challenge based on the book by Ocean Robbins, "31 Day Food Revolution". The idea behind the book is to help the reader heal their body and live a healthier life all round. The book is split into four parts, or sections, so one section for each week which you can either read all the way through and then start or start the challenge as you read along, which is how I tackled it. Part One deals with Detoxifying and that's not about drinking certain juices...
