Just watched Food.Inc and was horrified.
Not because of what I saw but because of having confirmed my worst fears.

When is the debate up about healthy living, healthy eating and the brains/knowledge to know the difference?
 

Don't eat food containing cellulose! It's wood FFS!!

Cellulose is wood!

Numbers out today, 24k people in the UK die each year from diabetes. A great proportion of that number can avoid fatality.

I wonder how many people on this forum eat one piece of fruit a day, let alone the 'Sunny D' sodium snorting generation raised on Jeremy Kyle and Katie Price.

This one. We are advocates of eating RIGHT. Get rid of as much chemical intrusions to our food as possible. We participate in a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), which basically means, a group of local organic farmers pool produce together into a box every week. So not only do we get organic fruit and veg, we get stuff we would have never bought from the store.

The one thing we fall down on is meat. To eat organic free-range meat over here you have to be minted. So we do what we can. We don't buy ground beef (who know what the [Poor language removed] is actually in that??) So we buy chuck roasts and have the butcher grind it for us. Stuff like that, allows us toi control our diet as much as we can.
 
*groan* so you're disputing the findings by one of the leading universities in the world on the impact protein has on orexin levels?

I want to know who funded the study. I dont trust studies in general as they can find out what ever the hell you want them too.

We as a whole eat proportionally WAY too much protein. The key to healthy living really is a balanced diet. Key, key, key.

It's not suggesting that you eat just protein, and for that matter it isn't passing comment on the makeup of our diets full stop. All it's saying is that protein produces more of a brain chemical that makes us happy and energised, whereas sugar does the opposite. As it has typically been assumed that sugar gives us a rush and a high that is the noteworthy part. Lets not read more into this than is actually there.
