[QUOTE="first14808, post: 1718092, member: 452612"] [URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-43201586[/URL] This could be fun. The 13 food groups cover a pretty broad range, and obviously exclude some high calorie/carb foods like fruit.. Because obviously that would conflict with the "5 a day" advice. One of the 'groups' struck me as a bit odd, namely 'specialty breads such as ciabatta with olives'. Seems an odd one to single out, at least compared to stodgy sliced white bread. It also has new advice for calorie intake:- So 1600 calories a day? Because it then goes on to say:- So 20% less for male guideline would be 2400 calories a day, not 1600. Unless they're allowing another 800 calories for snacks? But more diet confusion, and it'll be interesting to see how industry responds. My bet is reducing product size by 20% as the new, healthier option, but keeping the same price. Shrinkflation.. That hidden inflationary factor. [/QUOTE]
