Introduction
A guide to eating healthy, sustainable, and tasty food.
Our Philosophy
Over the last few years, concerns about our diet, how our food is produced and how it reaches us have become increasingly important. The evidence for and the effect of climate change on our lives has also become much more prominent.
Food is one of the necessities of life. The production, processing, distribution and sale of our food has a major impact on every aspect of our lives: our health; our economy; our landscape; the environment; animal welfare; etc…
Collectively, as a nation, we've never been further removed from the sources of our food. Convenience is king. We simply go to the shops, buy what we think we need and bring it home. We buy according to brands, special offers, 'buy one get one free's', whatever appeals at the time. How many of us think in advance what we need, where it comes from, how does it suit our nutritional needs. Very often, buying food is simply somehing we need to do, quickly, conveniently, before we have to do something else!
This site has been created to help us all choose and source food which is produced as sensitively and ethically as possible with regard to all the above considerations.
The Site Sections
The site is divided into seven sections, the Home section and six different categories of food for ease of navigation: Meat, Fruit & Veg, Dairy, Bakery & Cereals, Sea Food, Drinks.
