How and what we eat has radically changed over the past few decades with the all-consuming rise of the supermarket. But what price are we … all » paying for the homogenized, cheap and convenient food that supermarkets specialize in? In a two-part program, journalist Jane Moore investigates how supermarkets have affected the food on our plates and reveals the tell-tale signs that the food we buy may not have been grown in the way we think.

Using a combination of undercover filming and scientific analysis, Supermarket Secrets investigates whether the food on supermarket shelves is really as good as it looks, whether prices are as good as they seem and what happens behind the scenes in the production of supermarket food.

This documentary is in two parts. This first part deals with Factory Farming, chickens, and general quality of supermarket food. The second part deals with Cows milk, food standards, food waste, pesticides, food globalization, and loss of quality of our produce.

20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get it’s hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)

It just gets better from there. Basically, drinking Coke to give yourself energy is like filling your car with some sort of acidic jet fuel. You might get an initial speed boost, but in the end your engine isn’t gonna last too long. I’ll stick to whisky while I’m blogging, thank you very much.
