It's almost certainly healthier than what many eat at the moment.
Well I am not an expert, but common sense would suggest that a varied diet involving fresh veg, fresh fish, pasta/rice, white meat with a bit of red now and then, is healthier than 7 take aways or ready meals every week.

Even if the occasional slutty Brinner crops up.

I see, so what you are trying to convey is that nutrition is not part of healthy eating.

As life expectancy is now falling, we can all look forward to drawing back on retirement age back to 65, that's how it works is it not?

Where was that said!? Please quote!

And there are 2 billion people across the world that suffer from malnutrition. Should the blame for all be directed toward the Tories?

And technically, obesity and being overweight is classed as malnutrition. Malnutrition is an imbalance of required nutrients, it's not necessarily a lack of availability. So, again, back to personal responsibility...

Who are you one of these Cummings super forecasters with a keen eye on the eugenics.

So it's the child fault that mum and dad cannot afford nutrition meals and become cognitive impaired amongst many long term psychological and physical impairments, put the brats to work, from the womb, right now.

2 billion worldwide:zzz:
 
A family-sized pizza in Tesco costs around £3.50. For that, you could buy a kg of pasta (5.8 portions), 3 tomatoes, a cucumber, 210g of creamfields mozzarella and a whole red pepper and you have 5p change left. You've had 3 of your 5 a day, with probably some vegetables and pasta left for another meal. Pasta takes 10 minutes to cook, during which time you chop the rest.

Come to think of it, while you're shopping in Tesco, you can give your kids the free bananas at the front of the store, and that's 4 of their 5 a day.

Yum Tesco value range and some handed out free, you probably need to eat entire basket content to get same nutrient value as one organic piece, but hey we've completed the arbitrary 4 of the 5, so the pen pushers in the World health organisation policy unit are well happy.

I'm not sure that the SA screening accounts for nutrient deficient soils either mate.

:lol: what on earth are you on about? The only 'value' product in there is the cheese, and you seem to be saying that if you can't buy organic produce then you may as well just stuff a pizza down your gob, which is frankly bizarre. We eat this kind of food regularly, and I'd suggest are probably healthier than average. Similarly, why bother eating a banana for free when you can stuff a Mars bar down your gob and complain about how poverty is making you fat. What a truly strange outlook.

There’s less anti-oxidants but nutritional, in terms of vitamins etc. there’s no difference in fruit and veg. Even then, there’s an argument that anti oxidants aren’t really beneficial to lowering mortality rates.
 
This issue applies to both Organic and non-organic and is rooted in soil deprivation, husbandry, and cultivar selection. The SA can't really highlight this because it would alienate a good chunk of their intensive producers.

A landmark study on the topic by Donald Davis and his team of researchers from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry was published in December 2004 in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. They studied U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritional data from both 1950 and 1999 for 43 different vegetables and fruits, finding “reliable declines” in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C over the past half century. Davis and his colleagues chalk up this declining nutritional content to the preponderance of agricultural practices designed to improve traits (size, growth rate, pest resistance) other than nutrition.
