Anyone who has seen the doco-style movie Supersize Me will already know what happens if you deprive your body of its much-needed vitamins and minerals.

Read MoreGive a kid some red cordial and a handful of lollies and they’re sure to go crazy, no? It’s not just the mass sugar hit that causes post-sweet instant hyperactivity though.

Not only do they try to fool us into thinking their products are harmless, or even good for us, but they sneak dangerous ingredients into the mix without telling us about them. I know I’m always saying this, but shouldn’t we have the right to know… Read More
Read MoreUp until a few years ago I hated cooked veggies. Ever since I was a little girl, I insisted on eating raw beans, carrots, celery – practically everything besides potatoes and corn has to be cold and crunchy. I would get nervous if I was invited somewhere for dinner, not wanting to seem rude or… Read More
Read MoreMy pug, Edie, goes nuts over purple cabbage. It is up there with her favourite foods (she also enjoys cheese, pumpkin, avocado, chick peas and egg yolk, in case you feel like popping around to feed her).
