I haven’t watched this programme lately, but am always amazed that intelligent people can be so clueless about food. When you hear what is spent on takeaways, ready meals, cupboards groaning under the weight of crisps, chocolate bars, biscuits, then when they are told how much they spend in a year on such stuff, the tears fall, sob, sob, we really want to sort this out etc.

I would be too embarrassed to let the viewing nation see what a twit I was.

I’m watching this programme in disbelief. A couple who are 58 and 59 have asked for help in bringing their food shopping bill under control and eating more healthily. They’ve just spent £157 on mainly junk food. What makes matters worse is they both have Type 2,Diabetes and the husband has sever arthritis and could be in a wheelchair in a couple of years. Her recent eye screening shows that her eyesight is deteriorating because of her diabetes. The final jaw dropping factor is that she is a nurse. No wonder the NHS is in crisis.
