I caught the Panorama programme last night on sugar - The Trouble with Sugar. And after many quality programmes on investigative journalism, it was a major disappointment. Maybe I missed a point whilst popping into the kitchen to make a cuppa, but it didn't seem to be that clever, compared to some of the other stuff they've churned out. I just hope that it isn't a sign of a downward turn for what is normally a fantastic programme.
The most disturbing thing in the programme though, was people's lack of ability to take some responsibility for their choices. If your child is eating too much, tell them to cut back. Maybe it's a sign of age, but I remember as a child that we had a limit on what sweet and fatty foods we could eat. It was a treat to have an ice-cream, sweets, a reward for a hard day at school. Maybe I'm getting a bit old-fashioned after all.
Other people's thoughts can be found here, and it looks like I wasn't alone:
