What It Says on the Tin
Food labels - supermarkets fuss over them, food giants argue over them, the industry spends a mint on them, but can you really trust them? Gregg Wallace peels back the packaging to get to the bottom of the baffling world of food labelling. Gregg exposes some of the tricks of the trade, blasts through the jargon and takes a magnifying glass to the small print to produce his guide to the supermarket aisles.
The Junk Food Challenge
Britain consumes truckloads of junk food every year. Self-confessed junk food lover Gregg Wallace asks what's in it and why we love it so much. He meets overweight kids learning to eat more healthily, and experts who explain what lurks in our burger bags and pizza boxes. Gregg finds out how a crash diet of junk food affects the health of a fitness instructor and learns how junk food can still be enjoyed as part of a healthy balanced diet.
Ready, Steady, Eat
Britain is in love with ready meals. We eat an incredible 15 million of them every week. Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace sets out on a journey to find out what is in them and why we love them. He meets a family who love instant meals, talks to celebrity chefs and food experts about our passion for quick cuisine, and finds out what this is doing to the nation's cooking skills.
Hungry in Hospital
Gregg Wallace investigates why people are going hungry in hospital. He meets a man whose elderly father didn't eat enough during his last hospital stay. He hears from a patient who goes undercover to reveal the depressing fare he's given while recovering from an operation. We also look at the work being done in some hospitals to make food more of a priority.
Healthy Profits
Gregg Wallace investigates the world of healthy eating and asks when is it worth paying that little bit extra for so called healthy foods, and if you can always trust the supermarkets to tell you what's good for you. With the help of two sisters from Bristol, Gregg reveals some of the tricks of the trade. Plus he will be putting three new products to the test.
