Book Overview: More than 50% of people in the UK say they have been on a diet at least once and 10% admit to always being on a diet. Despite this spurious dietary advice and a lack of strictly factual nutritional information mean that 83% of people aren't eating the recommended five portions of fruit and veg a day and 10% eat fast food at least once a day. With increasing media focus on the nutrition issue, warnings from celebrity nutrionalists such as Dr Gillian McKeith and shows like Supersize Kids, the nation's awareness and concern over healthy eating is at an all time high.
