So, apparently we have the worst diet in Europe…….can’t say i’m surprised!!

Over half of our meals consist of processed or junk food, for example , chicken nuggets, chips and ready meals!

The study was made up of 19 European countries including France, Greece and Portugal. The second and third worst diet went to Germany and Ireland!

Also unsuprisingly one quarter of us brits are obese, not just overweight but OBESE! Shocking!!!

In my opinion highly processed foods should be hiked up in price to put people off buying it!

Although saying that, it is not expensive to cook and eat healthily especially if you have a few meat/fish free days and fill up on vegetables which can be bought frozen and cheaply!

I hate junk food as it is nearly always beige and too salty but that’s because I prefer to eat fresh natural healthy foods that are made up of all sorts of different colours…….there’s nothing more boring than a plate of ‘Beige’!!

I eat plenty of brown rice and sweet potatoes and rarely eat bread. Swapping healthy options like cauliflower rice and courgette spaghetti are great ways to cut back on the starchy carbs!

Eating a diet high in processed foods puts us at risk of heart problems, strokes and diabetes, why would we want that?!

Along with this comes other problems such as increased visits to the Doctors surgery putting a strain on the NHS! Do not get me started on that subject!!

What do you think is the answer here, how do we turn this around?!

We are living longer but we are not living well, we are relying on medication to get us through when we should be looking at our diet, exercise, stress levels etc

‘We are what we eat’ people!!

I hope that wasn’t too much of a rant!! Thanks for listening!
