Thanks Ed.....(aka my hero  )AJ, yup, cheese it my big down fall, especially as it is one of the few dairy products I like....the other being Tzatziki ! Hi Sandie, my eating habits, in general are quite good.I do not eat sweet stuff (even before the Diabetes it was 'not my bag') and I do not use butter or marge most of the time (if I do I use butter, the most natural I can find). but, like AJ, it is cheese that I love, and nice bread. When I was in France (working in Nice and Monaco) i could not resist buying a fresh French loaf and some Port Salut (sp?) and Brie on the way home at night. And ripping off bits of the warm loaf to munch as I walked through the streets of Nice to my little apartment.....happy days ................... |

Is the 1940s diet actually nutritionally sound? I always got the feeling that during war-time people were generally malenourished.... .................. http://www.theartofbeinghuman.com/ |

No- absolutely not! The wonderful thing about WWII rationing was that it ensured everyone had access to basic foods for health such as milk, meat, cheese, butter, eggs.... The rationing system also allowed extras for expectant mums, babies and younger children such as cod liver oil, concentrated orange juice, extra milk & eggs. Quote I think you have to also remember (and they could really do with this nowadays) was that the public were continually educated in healthy eating by 'The Ministry of Food'.....recipes were distributed in newspapers and books and on the radio and there were loads of workshops in schools and communities at 'Fruit Preservation Centres'... School dinners were actually brought in during WW2 to ensure that the children of working mothers would get a nutritionally balanced meal .......so why don't they do that these days!!!!!!! Yep- it was all very carefully planned and compiled by nutritionalists of the time to ensure that the british public remained healthy- it worked! ..................

Thats not to say that people weren't hungry....especially if you couldn't grow your own and couldn't afford to buy lots of veg to fill those gaps... Having a decent sized garden was a real advantage as you could grow plenty of fruit and veg. ..................

Good on you richc - just remember to go really slowly as this is the best and safest way to lose weight. I am NOT Marjorie and cannot give individualised advice, but can recommend the 'Latest Food Facts' from the left hand menu on the BDA web site http://www.bda.uk.com the war time diet was in fact very healthy, and provided foods from all the food groups in the right amount for the 'Balanced Diet' that is recommended today. This post was edited (27-02-2006 16:21 GMT) .................. Good food = good health |
