About the chicken. Im talking takeaway and roast. Dad was in a position that he had to visit the large chicken farms. What we call free range is not what the they call "free range" If your getting your chicken from some wacko lot, I guess it probably is free range. Don't trust the companies on that one.
Yup, it is important to be aware of the source of your food and its production methods if you want eat smart. We have a lot of chicken farms up here, growing under contract to Inghams.
I reckon your first step in the healthy eating stakes would be to cut out the take-aways, you will do your body a truckload of good. Then get into cooking because that's the easiest way to control the quality and quantity of what goes in your mouth.
Taught my 14 yo nephew to make a good bolognaise sauce last month - he was fascinated by the fact that I pulled a chunk of meat out of the fridge and minced it myself, gave me the perfect chance to explain about quality of ingredients, freshness, etc, etc.
And no, Kotter, I am not volunteering to teach you to cook.
