[QUOTE="Honeyend, post: 1926643, member: 430576"] Its a perfect storm of two ingredients. Carbs are cheap, produced in large amounts, easy to cook and enable the expensive protein part of the meal look bigger, food companies are able to sell food for huge mark up. The low fat diet became the cure for heart disease, it looked like a good idea, it seemed to make sense, so the NHS supported it. If people still cooked like they did in the 50's, less processed food and cooked from scratch or the research was analysed more carefully perhaps we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. Out of this mess the food companies have made a lot of money and the NHS has spent a lot of money, probably needlessly. As an NHS worker I like to think of it of someone who is being abused, no matter how many times their friend tell them its not working they keep trying to make it work, making excuses and going back.
