With only 5 major dairies in the UK there has now been a push to create another, but this will be the Goliath of all dairies here in the UK. Surely this is not what the public really want. Is it?

Mrs Obama started work on the kitchen garden with a gang of schoolchildren last month.

Even during a year of recession, 2009 saw a 1.7% rise in the organic food market bringing total sales to a little over £2 billion in the UK. Despite the slightly slower growth in 2009 the overall trend has been dramatic with sales more than doubling in the last 8 years. This strong and buoyant market has attracted the interest of many businesses seeking to get their piece of the organic pie.

Over the years many people have asked me for that something extra, some special tip that will boost your ability to burn off stubborn body fat and help you trim your figure. Early in my career I would teach people to stop seeking quick fixes and to avoid fad diets as they were unlikely to bring about any long term measure of success.

The Daily Mail reported today (18th Jan 2010) on an influential heart surgeon's call to ban butter and other sources of saturated fat. It is ridiculous after 40 years of the same old rhetoric to reduce saturated fat content in our diets with little proven benefit that 'experts' still call for enforcement of the issue!

Natural Food Finder was invited to dine in the F word restaurant for the long awaited final. We were among the UK's top food critics and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was a tough decision for all of us, but most of all for Gordon who could overrule the food critics scoring if he so wished in order to crown "Britain's best local restaurant".

We had mixed views with regards to this programme, there was the odd unexpected great psychological idea that also made good TV.

Another show following obese people and how they live their lives, but this time it is young children. Is this informative and necessary or just providing entertainment and perhaps another reason for peers to tease and torment?

If there is any food group that is misunderstood more than any other it is fats! There is so much over simplification and down right incorrect information being passed around about fats that we have decided to be sure that you are fully informed about what foods provide what fats. Think of it as our new year gift to you.

Another year been and gone and the festive season is here again. This is a time of year where food and celebration are simply inseparable. Food is central to so many families traditions and memories and brings us together in a way never achieved at any other time of year.

We have been told so often that fruit and vegetables are benficial for our health and here at natural food finder we do agree with this advice. However, we do not believe that this means that we should be eating copious amounts all year long. In the hotter summer months most people normally find that they prefer cooler, refreshing foods.

In the UK we have truly endorsed the celebrity chef and enjoy their regular TV offerings. They teach us about the importance of food, ethically produced and of good quality. They have impressive culinary skills and can whip up the most satisfying and tasty food. However, many of these chef's have also entered into advertising contracts to help promote foods, food brands and supermarkets.
