Could you really say that your last meal was nutritionally balanced? Did it provide your body with an assortment of the vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates and fats it needs to function properly? Was there any fresh fruit or vegetables with it or did they come out of a packet, tin or the freezer? The question to really consider is: Was it the kind of meal your grandmother would have made?

According to a recent ACNielsen online survey, consumers the world over reported that they simply do not have the time to prepare meals from scratch.

Around half of those surveyed declared that they had observed poor food safety practices in outlets over the last two years. Eighty-three percent of respondents expressed concern about chicken, 78 percent for shellfish and 76 percent for food displayed in warming ovens such as pies.
