There was a map of Europe showing the % of diet made up by UPF by country. Uk was the worst, maybe 40 or 50%.
Italy was something like 15%.

I suppose eating dirt,goat shit and piss in Italy is a luxury and not UPF
If its so wonderful over there please fuck off back soap dodger 

it’s the only award your country will be winning.

Where to start?

Alright, there is far too much mince for that small pan. He has crowded the pan, so even though he's using cast iron, the mince is grey (steamed) no maillard (?spelling). So it'll taste terrible. 

Generally I am in favour of high protein (no off colour remarks, please!) and I agree starchy carbs (basically sugar) are appalling 'foods' best eaten as the exception rather than the rule. But I think probably the most important rule of all, whatever your stand on carbs, is to avoid ultra processed shite like the plague. When EXPERTS tell us we should be eating like the Greeks or Italians or Japanese because they live to 200 years old or whatever, their cuisines are quite different in terms of carbs and protein intake, but what they all have in common is they tend not to eat UPF. 

These days when I walk around a supermarket I feel like the Youtuber Eddie Abbew, looking at all the UPF rubbish and thinking "Look at this SHIT!" In my local Asda, the fruit and veg is the first section as you enter. But before you can physically get to the shelves with the fruit/veg, they have portable/free standing stands with all manner of sugary and UPF stuff on them. This stuff is being aggressively marketed.

They might be on the right track with this 'carnivore diet' idea, but I couldn't do it. I reckon by day 4 I'd be trying to sell one of my kidneys for a plate of broccoli.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a financially challenged family, which meant my mother had to come up with all sorts of ways to make the cheaper cuts (i.e. the ones the butcher couldn't otherwise sell and weren't even good enough to be turned into burgers & sausages) enticing. The one thing our meals were not is boring.

In fact, my kids still cook up meals from recipes my mother used from when I was but a mere slip of a lad.

On a similar note...or not... I was thinking about what would be the definitive culturally inclusive British meal of 2025? Can't be arsed to pose the question on the Woke thread, so, as it's food related, I'll ask on here, instead.
