    The ever-increasing pace of life for people of all ages means it is critical to plan for healthy eating accordingly.

    In this program, teenager Jesse takes us through a dramatised story of how, once again, his mother has to work back and puts him on a mission of preparing the dinner for that night, with the usual parting instruction: "....a 'healthy' dinner, Jesse...." Jesse, by his own admission, is just not one hundred per cent sure about what real healthy food is but he's willing to find out. In following his story, the program covers areas including the function of food; understanding nutrients; today's fast-paced society; designing menus; and different menus. We also hear from two professional dieticians, Melanie McGrice and Ingrid Hilton. In an engaging and thorough way, this program covers important areas about healthy and nutritious menu planning.

    CALORIE CONFIDENTIAL

    You'll never guess how many calories are in the meals at popular sit-down restaurants. Your neighbourhood casual-dining chain is serving meals positively loaded with fat and calories and sodium, in amounts far surpassing those usually found in fast food.

    Marketplace had nutritional analyses done on popular items from several chain restaurants. As Wendy Mesley reports, a single meal at one of these restaurants could actually contain more calories than most of us should eat in a whole day.

    We've all been trained to think of fast food as junk food, but most burger chains publish detailed nutrition charts on their websites and will even hand out info at the counter if you ask. Maybe a lot of the choices are unhealthy, but at least the facts are out in the open.
