Agree re the tinned fishy meal - looked yuck!

Thanks, I'll check out the aldi and heck sausages. They certainly loved them and are so much healthier. I do love a good sausage sarnie!

Yes Aldi heck sausages - I need to try them. Think free on sw

Anyway next week

A household of students who love costly brands and pricey pesto and posh pasta

I love pesto pasta but happy with 49p pesto 😂😂😂

I watched this last night and thought it was a completely set up piece of propaganda.
All the cliches: processed food, too much sugar, fat, salt etc. minimal fruit and vegetables plus type II diabetes AND she was a nurse!
Zero credibility.

I see what you mean about it being a bit extreme. However my parents (at 65 and 58) were a lot like this (on a slightly lesser scale) after my dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes because they were in complete denial about their eating habits and could not face changing what they had always cooked.

So they would tell the hospital that they were cooking from scratch and eating "healthy" stir-frys with chicken and veg . but totally neglected to mention the jar of Uncle Ben's Sweet and Sour sauce the used and that was packed with sugar. They would say that they ate berries that they picked themselves .... but didn't say that they made them into jam!

I also met a woman in similar denial in my ante-natal group. She wouldn't control her diet so in the end had to be given insulin. But was eating lots of cream cakes, biscuits and sweets because her blood sugar levels were "normal". In the end she had to be induced at 35 weeks because her baby was already over 10lbs and not doing well.

I do wonder if this couple applied themselves or whether a family member tried to give them a nudge.

My gosh their diet was one of the worst I’ve seen on this show ever

Shitting hell, I'm watching now and I'm gobsmacked, I thought they were in their 70's.

Finally, someone asking the right question - with all the crap they were eating, at did they ever go to the toilet!!?

start I had a colleague who ate like this once. She overshared with me that she only went to the loo (number 2's) a couple of times a week. To be fair, she knew it wasn't great.

I'd never be off the toilet if I ate that much sugar, but tbf I have IBS!

I buy real baked beans take two thirds out of the can and wash the sauce off then mix them with the remainder. Heat them all up, tastes fine to me. Takes a lot of the sugar out. Low sugar and salt beans are vile, rather have none at all. But crikey, the sweet cupboard! The fizzy stuff! Phew.

You wash the sauce off beans ?

I do. In a sieve, not one by one .They're swimming in sauce and two thirds of it isn't missed, well not by me. Much less sugar.

Why don't you just buy tinned haricot beans in water?

I used to always be a Heinz beans and nothing taker

But I do like Aldi beans and 89p for 4 compete for Heinz that I think are £3 for 4

Just had some now on a jacket

I prefer aldi beans.

@Lunde, because I want baked beans cooked in sauce. But I don't want to eat all the sauce that they come with, just enough to flavour them. Currently eating a Heck chicken sausage and small tin of -adjusted- waitrose essential baked beans. Nice.

Morrisons beans are the bees knees

Sainsbury's Heck chicken sausage shelf has been empty for 2 days ☹.
They must be selling bumper amounts at the moment.

whilst I was emptying the chicken sausage shelves in Sainsbury's I noticed they make veggie breakfast sausages. I have a pack of tomato, mushroom and spinach, haven't tried them yet. There was another variety too but cant recall ingredients.

longwayoff they sound yum

Wow ! I've got a sweet tooth but watching that made me feel sick 🤢

I felt so sorry for that poor man, he had to eat what she cooked. Rita was like a petulant toddler !

I really hope they made changes & stuck to them

That was bonkers. What kind of nurse is she??

Then she rings Gregg for help then has to go to the supermarket and buy a trolley of sugar - what happens to the food? Do they take it back?

She hasn’t cooked for 37 years - wtf??

Utterly shocked at that. The amount of sweeties they eat is crazy! I didn't really like the look of that peach and oat bake thingy (that Chris did in the caravan). Looks dry and definitely needed custard
