Public Group active 3 years, 1 month agoFood tsar Henry Dimbleby said today unhealthy food is significantly cheaper than healthy food – but these recipes prove nutritious meals packed with veggies don’t need to cost a fortune. Speaking on Radio 4’s Today programme, Mr Dimbleby, author of the controversial National Food Strategy, said ‘highly calorie dense food is three times cheaper per calorie than healthy food’, noting millions of families on the breadline resorted to microwave meals and processed foods to keep their children fed. Mr Dimbleby has argued a levy on sugary and salty foods is needed to tackle unhealthy eating habits but opponents have branded it another example of ‘rich people’ trying to tell the rest of society what to do. They estimate the so-called ‘snack tax’ could add £3.4billion a year to families’ shopping bills, with a 60p Mars bar costing 9p more. But the reality is it is possible to make healthy food for as little as £1 a head, as these recipes from Miguel Barclay prove. UK-based Miguel, known for his One Pound Meals recipe series, has revealed how families can whip up six nutrient-rich dishes packed with veggies and http://www.cruisewhat.com healthy carbohydrates for as little as £1 a head.
