The words used to describe food are ridiculous and unhelpful

Just heard an ad where every other thing was described as ‘cheeky’ or ‘a treat’. The current Costa one does my head in with the idiot girl claiming you have to ‘be good’ on Mon/Tues, you can be ‘naughty’ on Wed/Thurs but you have to admit it and on Fri you can stuff your face 🙄

Anything about diets or nutrition is full of cliched crap about ‘grabbing some crunchy veggies’ as a healthy snack or uses stupid ott descriptions for perfectly ordinary things - ‘fresh, creamy milk’ etc.

Restaurant menus are full of similar stuff to make their (often) mass-produced microwaveable junk sound ‘healthy’ - hand picked this and garden fresh that.

I love words and I love food but this stuff drives me bonkers - it’s misleading, insulting and doesn’t help anyone trying to just eat normally.

Everything with added Protein in it now annoys me.

Most people in this country are not suffering from a protein shortage in their diet, and would probably do well to cut down a bit, not increase their protein intake.
