“Eat real food”! Why is it so difficult for public health bodies to say that!

Good article again from Zoe Harcombe - have you read it yet?

It's called 'Burning off calories (& food labels)'

She raises nine interesting points and concludes

"When people ask for my views of traffic light, or other labelling, schemes my response is always the same – our labelling policy should be simple: don’t eat anything that requires a label. Why is it so difficult for public health bodies to simply come out and say “Eat real food”!

No doubt the RSPH initiative is well intentioned, albeit without any evidence that it would have an impact. Sadly it suffers from so many flaws, I cannot see any good coming from good intentions. Well meaning “Eat real food” messages would be far simpler and more effective, yet somehow seem to escape the mind set of public health bodies."

All the best Jan

But that will not help people with metabolic problems a really big percentage of the population. Even do "real food" seem simple and good it also can be food that is no good for people with metabolic problems. So even do is an improvement diet generalizations for everyone are really not that useful.
