There are lots of rules campaigny food writers create to ‘help’ us eat healthier.
But many (most?) don’t stand up to much scrutiny.
Here’s a thread of my top 5:
1) ‘Don’t eat anything with ingredients you can’t pronounce.’
So, for many people, no quinoa or jalapeños?

2) ‘Don’t eat anything your great grandma wouldn’t recognise as food’.
So for my UK ones: No papayas or mangos, but a big fat YES to chocolate laced with radium and tinned whale.
My Borneo ones: No cheese, oats or strawberries, but bring on the bats and pangolins!

In mine that’s the Costa coffee machine, packet sandwiches, booze and chocolate.
