Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

I'm not quite sure what you are saying. Obviously (I suppose) that 2.6bn is included in the 67.5bn. There are many other factors in costs to the NHS caused by bad diet as well. Too much sugars, salt, saturated fats and especially processed foods, as well as many others - all of which would be OK in moderation. These cause problems such as Diabetes, obesity, problems with arteries etc.

It is not too difficult to eat more healthily as good foods such as fruit and veg are not expensive. I never did understand the argument of lack of time as an excuse. I think it is a combination of lack of education in cooking and nutrition added to lack of confidence plus some other factors.

 

But they do have their uses in exercise!!!

 

Definitely part of the problem.

 

No humans were involved in it

 

Food that is not quite as adulterated as most of the fast foods and those high in sugar, salt and saturated fats. They're quite easy to avoid if you do your own cooking - but allow yourself some 'naughty' times.

 

I suppose it depends on whether you just cooked bought pre-prepared foods - or not.

I'm, just now, cooking roast chicken, roast spuds, broccoli and courgettes. All quite healthy but not particularly strict on being extremely healthy. That will be followed by apple (home grown) crumble - which is a healthier version of crumble made with ground almonds as it has to be gluten free. Admittedly, ground almonds are more expensive than flour. I shall be using Greek yoghurt with it.

 

That's healthy enough

I suppose you went out and caught the salmon in the river.
