The truth about food.

is brilliant, your thoughts?

I remember a spiritualist in Australia who declared that she did not need food to survive, only Prana, and went on to prove her point and failed miserably...She obviously didn't believe in the truth about food...

Do you mean the BBC documentaries?
The finished TVNZ series?
Something else?

The finished TVNZ series.

They're replaying it... and on second thoughts it isn't TVNZ, but the one with Petra Bagust.

Fragment. Consider revising.

I just wish people would make up their minds about what is good and what isn't...

One minute they are telling you to not eat potatoes because yadda, yadda, yadda...

now they say it is better to eat spuds then it is to it the alternative... rice.

No wonder people give up and eat crap.

Some people use the excuse of health advice changing to eat anything in any quantity, but it's mostly pretty common sense.

White rice and pasta are less good nutritionally because they are refined, but potatoes are not refined. Whole grains such as porridge, or stoneground wholemeal flour products such as soba noodles, wholegrain pasta, etc, and brown rice, are still very good healthy and nutritious foods. They are not only more nutrient rich, but they are filling, like potatoes are. I was disappointed that in the testing on tonight's "What's Really In Our Food?" they only compared potatoes to white rice and white pasta. Wish they had have added the whole stuff to the testing as well - it would have been interesting for people who don't know.
