Nutrition

With obesity levels rising and less than half of the UK population consuming their recommended 5-a-day of fruit and veg, issues surrounding nutrition are increasingly in the spotlight. Ethical food choices are also a matter for concern - figures show that the food industry now generates 30% of total man-made greenhouse gas emissions and more people than ever are looking to sustainable, locally grown produce to fill their plates. This book looks at the issues surrounding nutrition, including nutrition and health, what makes a balanced diet and food labelling, as well as the debates surrounding ethical food choices, environmental impacts and organic food.
