- Eating more vegetables: The Go for 2&5 campaign is aimed at increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. I particularly like their weekly healthy eating email – a quick, regular reminder of the practical ways you can eat more fruit and veg. Sign up here.
- Root vegetables: In the Northern hemisphere root vegetables are in season. In the Guardian this week, Nigel Slater has a great column discussing different ways of using carrots, kohlrabi, parsnips, etc: The Root Master
- Nutrition horrors: First I saw the UK Heart Foundation advert what goes into crisps goes into you. Then the next day a friend sent me the cheeseburger in a can. Why oh why?
- Using radishes: While I like radishes, there not a vegetable I ever get creative with. This week I’ve spotted Lucy’s excellent looking radish pickle. While Cassie from Veggie Meal Plans has made lentil, radish and spinach stuffed pita breads.
- Late night eating: I liked this article from the Times which debunks some of the myths around eating late at night.
- No forbidden foods: I’ve written before about choosing small, contained quantities of treat foods like ice-cream, cake and chocolate. There’s another good example over at Weighty Matters. What do you do if you’re an obesity doctor and your daughter wants hot chocolate?

Hello Kathryn! Great links, as always. I’ve got Lucy’s recipe bookmarked to try out soon! And that cheeseburger – how atrocious! The Heart Foundation ad is quite shocking, too, but it sure gets the message across. Love the idea at Weighty Matters and happy you shared this link. I hadn’t seen this blog before and it looks quite interesting. I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend!
I read Weighty Matters a lot. Much of it’s specific to Canada, but there’s still enough that’s quite general. Yoni has strong, but practical opinions. Have a great weekend too Cassie.
Oh my.
That Heart Foundation Ad makes me fell incredibly unwell. Will be sendng it to EVERYONE in my family – they are all chip fiends.
Oh my goodness, it is just this week at the local, annual agricultural fair here in Barbados that I heard and saw kholrabi for the first time! I hope to get some soon and to do a column on it. Thanks for the link.
Hi Cynthia. Kohlrabi’s out of season for us – but I’m looking forward to trying the recipe in a few months.
I’m also looking forward to your kohlrabi column!
My goodness the crisps add is telling. Hmm. I signed up for the 2+5 updates. Your links are always so helpful. thank you!
