Thank you for the interesting thread guys 🙂
We don't have t.v. and so missed this one, although I have heard for a while now about the perils of palm oil! Even Nairns beloved organic oatcakes contain palm oil! We've now taken to making our own.
Most depressing is the indifference and ignorance of people featured in these programs. Sadly, they are not the minority. Despite good labelling of cosmetics and toilettries (listing weird and dubious chemicals), people don't really care what they put on their skin. They believe it's only a topical application yet they don't realise that the skin absorbs and lots of unwanted stuff is getting into the bloodstream.
I don't know if people, who watched that program, have woken up and now take action. I guess they just keep buying their Johnson & Johnson and designer cosmetics full of nasties. And how naive is it to believe that only by reading 'natural' on the packaging, the product is healthy? Laughable, really.
Anyway, hopefully this program will have made a difference. The choice of presenter may have helped as she's quite popular, so she may have increased ratings.

on the palm oil and oat cake front. there is a new brand out now that uses olive oil instead of palm oil. i found them in tesco but couldnt find them in sainsburys as yet. cant remember the brand but they were nice and i will certainly be only buying those from now on!
