We are living in a toxic food environment.  Never have we been under so much pressure to be thin at that same time as being enouraged to eat at every angle.  Cookery programmes, billboard posters, TV and magazine adverts and just about anything you want to eat, readily available at supermarkets.  I suspect that the divide between the amount of people in the world who have an abundance to eat and those who are starving, tragically, has never been greater.
