The fact that we're alive depends on eating and drinking every day, and the human brain evolved a pleasure response to it for survival. There's actually a name for obsession with healthy eating - orthorexia - which can lead to the same obsessive compulsive symptoms as people with eating disorders .
However, obesity - with all its health hazards - is an epidemic in the UK, Philippines and most other countries in the world.
Past advice has not changed eating habits in much of the population .
A major conclusion of the survey of certain take away foods quoted by the BBC is :-
"There seems little that the consumer can do to make reasoned judgements to choose a better diet
without the proprietors providing the information at the point of sale to inform the decision". ( I've added the link to the original article below *. )
Already McDonalds are to display calorie numbers in its UK restaurants, in which 3m people eat each day. They will point out that women need 2000 calories/day and men 2,500 calories/day - depending on factors like body build, occupation, and level of exercise. Other chains, just like supermarkets, are doing - or have already done - the same.
It remains to be seen how effective this will be, but it's a step in the right direction More steps, and more exercise generally, would allow enjoyment of food with no sense of guilt at enjoying occasional treats of food you consider to be unhealthy. No single food is bad for you on its own, and there is no universally good or bad diet. It's obvious from current obesity levels we don't all want to be thin, healthy and live for ever. There can also be pleasant surprises, such as a recent survey showing benefits to the heart and vascular system of chocolate . Moderation and a healthy awareness is the answer .
