We have more foods to choose from than ever before, yet we still make choices that harm our health. We buy these foods for convenience and because of their sugar, salt and fat appeal to our tastebuds. It is a seemingly unstoppable trend that is driving global epidemics of diabetes, cancers, stroke and heart disease. Fast foods and processed snacks typically supply fattening kilojoules but little fibre and few of the vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients that contribute to our wellbeing.
