Well as you can see from the time stamp I am having a sleepless night. I don’t stress over it any more, just get on and do something, the something in the last hour has been making a curry for dinner tomorrow night so the house now smells of garlic, ginger and spices.
I was reading an newspaper article about the diet of many children now being two thirds ultra processed food, which is a worry.I was brought up on homemade food and the only UPF we probably ever had was the very odd Vesta curry (if anyone remembers them) but you were lucky if that was twice a year!
We eat virtually no processed food even now with meals prepared from scratch, homemade bread etc. . It is much easier time wise since retirement so I can be more adventuress in my cooking but while I worked I still cooked fresh.
If I hadn’t already been a fresh food fan a book I read recently would have pushed me in that direction. Ultra Processed People by Dr Chris Van Tulleken gives an insight into just how bad all the processed food in an average modern diet is and how many hidden additives, sugars etc there are even in “fresh” pre prepared meals. The book is well worth reading.
Anyway I hope everyone else is in the land of nod having a good nights rest.
