Food Unwrapped

[veggiechicken]

New programme on Channel 4 tonight 8.30. Investigating how mass produced food is ..produced! Tonight grapefruit in tins - how is it so perfect and what is the bacteria in Probiotic yoghourt. Food Unwrapped - Series 1 - Episode 1 - Food Unwrapped - Channel 4
There's a quiz on this link - I only got 50% - could do better.

[Glutton4...]

I got 70 per cent, but they don't give you the answers, so you don't know where you went wrong.

I don't expect I'll get around to watching it, but would like to.

[veggiechicken]

I would have liked the answers too. Second time 85%, but still have no idea! Its on again later on C4+1.

[rustylady]

I got 55%. Hope to watch the programme (if I don't forget)

[ladylottie]

I only got 50% as well. I expect they want us to watch the programme to get the answers.
Will try and remember!

There were so many questions about beer and wine that I wonder whether they will feature in the programme - or were they totally random?

30%......I guess I am just unlucky when it comes to guessing.

I think you'd better watch the programme - and make notes

[Bren In Pots]

I got 65% and would like to know the answers.

[Florence Fennel]

I don't think I want to know - ignorance is bliss, especially after that clip with the hydrochloric acid!

[ladylottie]

Well, I did watch the programme and found it quite interesting. I've often wondered how they peeled grapefruit so nicely without breaking the segments. Now I know - chemicals. I never buy tinned grapefruit or probiotic anything so what they found out on tonight's programme doesn't affect me.

Next week however, they are doing a piece on reformed ham and I didn't like the look of the clip they showed! It might just tip me over the edge to not eating meat (I don't eat much now anyway!) Will see what happens.

So, what did you peeps think about the programme?

[veggiechicken]

Like you, LL, I don't eat tinned grapefruit and avoid Probiotic anythings because I just don't like the sound of it - anything that is advertised as having health benefits always seems to be suspect to me! Reformed ham is a definite no-no too but you can get chopped and shaped fish too I know how that's done......
So some questions were answered during the programme - like caustic soda - but that was one of the few I knew!
Overall I thought it was good, didn't go on for too long and tere were enough presenters not to make it too samey. I'll watch it again

Jimmy did that on food factory - absolutely gross. I don't eat anything (re)formed.
