Making Scotland a Good-Food Nation

Here I am on The Kaye Adams show this morning, on BBC Radio Scotland.  
We were talking about children’s food and nutrition education in the midst of Scotland’s obesity crisis. Also joining us in the discussion was Edinburgh based French chef, Fred Berkmiller (L’escargot Bleu and L’escargot Blanc).
 
Listen back now on the BBC iPlayer
Fast forward to: 2:25:46 (for the full story). I join the conversation at: 2:33:25 

Scotland's obesity crisis
Two-thirds of Scottish adults are overweight or obese – the highest in the UK and amongst the highest in the world!!! About one third of children are at risk of becoming overweight or obese... 

We’re discussing the possibility of forming healthier habits in children starting from grass-roots in order to make Scotland a 'good-food' nation.  Too often, we are being mollycoddled by the food industry and duped into thinking we have no time and that junk food is a convenient answer. 

Let me hear your thoughts below once you listen back. 

Some of the main points raised during the conversation include:
  • Finding the time to cook healthy meals from scratch. Read my top 15 tips to better meal planning here
  • Where our food comes from and growing our own vegetables. Join in Edinburgh’s community gardens here
  • Cooking from scratch. Check out my personalised one-to-one cooking classes and supermarket tours
