Inside New Zealand Doco on food additives

Hooray for Inside NZ- what's really in our food! Finally some prime time exposure about this issue! It was I thought a well put together doco. It could have been very sensationalist but was quite restrained. Enough info to be the informative and a great place to start for the average kiwi!

I am keenly watching what is going on in the UK press - The Daily Mail, The Guardian, the Times, just to watch the big companies switching ingredients and ditching as many additives as possible!

I am hoping that this doco is the first in a long line of them. Trans fats next please!

Finally more details regarding the Southampton University study on food additives done for the FSA

Well at long last there are a few more details about the study being released. I am still longing to get my hands a full report. My friends and family in the UK tell me that it has made a big media splash yet again but so far down here in Godzone it remains quiet with attention focussed on the rugby of course!

I hear that supermarkets are pulling the 'nasties' from their own label products. So I guess the big name brands will follow. About time. Then hopefully our government will follow suit and I might actually be bale to go shoppping without having to read most labels.

How exciting!
