Middle pages of the Herald Sun , today Tuesday 25th February......10 best burgers .
All the photos show the " best burgers " accompanied by fries , oozing cheese , dripping sauce and mayonnaise .....as stated in the print...The burger is a juicy, oozy triumph each pattie dripping with melted plastic cheese...their words not mine.
This is a celebration of the top 10 burgers in Melbourne , not one word of a backlash in face of the airing of the Biggest Loser , the healthy eating initiatives being set in place by community groups, health professionals.
What would happen if Mc Donalds placed an ad in any newpaper using those descriptive words ?
I`m not promoting Mc Donalds , but they do offer healthy options and show the kilojoule total of all their food combinations...
This article evidents blatent disregard of all the efforts going into promoting healthy eating.
Promoting the consumtion of burgers priced from $9.50 all the way through to $22.00 , great advertising for a select few merchants selling fast food .
It is so easy to talk the talk , the Herald Sun have a healthy lifestyle supplement in their paper every Sunday which promotes all things healthy along with healthy recipe alternatives.
I am aware that what we choose to eat is all about choice , and eagerly agree that take aways are a quick and easy meal ..but not the healthiest nor the cheapest .
Articles like these just put the cause to educate people on alternatives to take away food right back to square one.
I am not laying the blame wholly on the Herald Sun , they are about selling papers and survive on the finances from the advertisers , what really saddens me is the cooks and chefs who could really do their paying patrons a great favour by actually making healthier style burgers.
I seriously don`t get it.
All it takes is some thought , we have such a choice of produce , healthy eating is not about boring tasteless food . it`s about combinations , using fresh food rather than processed , its about lightly cooked opposed to deep fried ,
Healthy eating is about our body maintenance , we are what we eat.
