“Dieting is the only game where you win when you lose!” – Karl Lagerfeld
We’ve all been there, standing on the scales trying to convince ourselves that it ‘must be broken’ and that we’re ‘surely not that heavy.’The days of long listed diet plans seem a thing of the past, with calorie counting apps being snapped up from the App Store, as people look to pinpoint exactly what they’re putting into their body.
The government announced this week a new system of front-of-pack food labelling which combines nutritional information with colour coding will be put in place over the next 18 months.
The labels will be rolled out to only 60% of foods because it will remain voluntary.
Interestingly major names Coca-Cola and Cadbury have not signed up to the new system.
The issue has been debated for the past decade with a variety of different systems being suggested but consumer groups are delighted a resolution has been found.
It’s important to be honest with consumers as to exactly what’s going into your products thats why all of our sausages, burgers and puddings detail what goes into them to make them so tasty!
So will this allows the health conscious of us to better plan what we put in our shopping basket? And will it make a difference as we aim to trim our waistline?
What foods do you think are most important to be labelled correctly and will the new labels make a difference?
