oooh! 8pm Channel 4

[Martin]

Hugely Fearlessly-Twittingstall is on with another bunch of blobbies! - this week, it's "shoot it and roast it!" - (presumably not the blobbies! )

[Shirley]

That was FAB - really really fab.

Thanks for the reminder Martin... I almost forgot.

[Martin]

was it me, or did it put life back into them? - they looked SO much healthier, and much more "at peace" than they ever were at the beginning!

[Shirley]

YES... I absolutely agree with you there.... especially the woman that was the home economics teacher.

Feel good factor BIG TIME - life changing even. I hope that it's reached out to other people that have watched the programme and changed their lives too.

I LOVE positive telly like this.

If it helps a few more people see where nutters like me are coming from, then I'm all for it.

It was just a shame it was on after 8pm and our video doesn't record as the boys would have liked it. I guess it will be out on DVD very soon knowing how commercial Mr HFW is!

[Shirley]

Fair point Stoney - he is commercial these days, but if that helps to get the message across to the masses then so be it.

J went to bed late today and so he watched and enjoyed. Your two would have enjoyed it too.

[the.fee.fairy]

Dammit...work gets in the way yet again...

[rosiep]

oh no I missed it! that'll teach me to yak on the phone for hours!

[bazil]

you might be able to find it on the web....not sure how moral it is...but if you missed it...and pay your tv licence ....logically you should be able to without feeling guilty

Me my wife and our daughter watched it and it was a real pleasure to see those people change there ways from eating ready meals.


One thing that program made me think about was e numbers does anyone know where i can get a list telling me what the individual e numbers stand for?

[bazil]

theres a list here

http://www.food.gov.uk/multimedia/pdfs/ ... umbers.pdf

the only reason for e number that i can see, is to confuse and ofuscate

i also found a list here that has side affects and things

my cousin wasnt allowed tartrazine when he was little cause he used to get super hyper and jump thru glass doors and things

Wikipedia is a good starting point - e numbers - as is the UK food guide.

The Vegetarian Society has a list of the non-vegetarian ones.

Good books are:

A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives

The Chemical Maze

E is for Additives

But remember, there is more in food than these. There are also pesticide residues, veterinary residues, salt, added fat, bulkers and water. Chicken, for instance, can have beef or pork protein added as it retains water and then be injected with water to make it plumper and heavier. In Ireland, they found some chicken was 43% water - which isn't illegal so long as it's on the label!

Oh, and if possible buy those books from small eco-friendly businesses rather than Amazon. I've put the links in for the information not as potential sources!!

cheers guys thats a great help
