Tonight sees the final programme in
this series that has been looking at
the food we eat, its nutritional value
and its effect on our health.
During the series we have seen how very
little of the food we eat is
nutritionally good for us. We eat five
times more sugar and six times more fat
than we physically need.
Yet despite the links between high
cholesterol levels and illnesses such
as heart disease and cancer the
population still eats too much sugar,
salt and fat.

The only way to healthier eating is to
cut down on our fat, sugar and salt
intake and increase the amount of fibre
we eat.
However that's easier said than done.
It's hard to know exactly what you're
eating when the manufacturers do not
have to display the quantity of the
contents.
These 'hidden' contents are also hard
to spot when we eat out. About one
third to a quarter of our time is
spent eating outside the home and we
don't always know what we're eating.

The manufacturing industry goes to
great lengths to make us eat more and
are always on the lookout to find new,
interesting products.
The industry is big business and
manufacturers are not really interested
in the nutritional content of the fogd.
From the farmer to the supermarket we
are persuaded to buy more.
Supermarkets are specifically designed
so that we are drawn to fogbs that we
might not normally eat. Pre-packed
meals have become more popular because
they are so easy to prepare.

So even though it is obvious that the
food industry is conspiring to make us
eat rich, unusual, expensive fogds,
there is an alternative.
An increasing number of people are
choosing a natural diet, which seems
to be a choice between tasty food and
dull, unimaginative food. But this
need not necessarily be so.
If the food manufacturers could be
persuaded to change the compostition
of mainstream products, everybody
would be able to enjoy normal, tasty,
healthy food.

F O O D F O R T H O U G H T
To change the food we eat means a
change in the whole industry, starting
with the farmers. Farming tgbay is a
very costly industry.
They run on a high input, high output
system - they produce so much food
they can't even give it away. The
farmers have lost touch with the needs
of the consumers.
Again there is another answer. We
could go back to growing ouq fogd
without additives or fertilizers as in
organic farming. This is a biological
method and is practiced with animal
husbandry. M/RE>

F O O D F O R T H O U G H T
If manufacturers did change and started
producing healthy food they would still
be able to make a profit. So there is
really no reason why the nation's diet
could not be improved in the future.
It would also be advantageous if there
was a national nutrition policy with
the government helping to extoll the
virtues of healthier eating.
The consumer can help to change things
too. Buying food with less fat and
sugar, wholemeal bread and more
fibre-based foods means we could change
the types of foods that are sold to us.

EVERY WINDOW TELLS A STORY
Most people today enter a medieval
church, cathedral or parish church and
admire the stained glass fgr its beautz
alone.
Very few people are able to actually
'read' the windows as their ancestors
would have done. This new series today
at 6.30pm helps to unlock the
secrets of the glass.
The programme is presented by Malcolm
Miller who is in his 29th year as the
official lecturer on the stained glass
of Chartres Cathedral in France.

EVERY WINDOW TELLS A STORY
In the first introductory programme
today Malcolm Miller explains how and
why the art of stained glass making
began to flourish.
As the series develops we find out how
medieval man would have read and used
the windows - much as we use television
today.
Miller recounts some of the stories
they tell of saints, of kings, of
biblical events and the life of Chri1t.
And he examines the insight they give
us into everyday life in the Middle
Ages.

EVERY WINDOW TELLS A STORY
The series concentrates mainly on glass
of the 12th and 13th centuries. This is
an especially valuable era because the
Middle Ages covered more than 300 years
Early medieval glass is as different
from late medieval glass as the music
of Purcell is from that of Schoenber£.
Much of the filming took place at
Chartres.
It houses the most complete cgllectign
of early medieval glass in the wgrld.
Other locations include Canterbury,
York and Dorchester Abbey. Every Window
Tells A Story is tonight at 6.30pm.
