Back to WW food again, when I did the program about 3-4 years ago, I was shocked to find that often the ww products were higher in points than the same thing in another brand.

I know Tuna and Fries were an example, and museli bars.... Very interesting I thought and a great way fro WW to make more money!]]> Thu, 07 Aug 2008 08:48:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461884&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461884 <![CDATA[Whats REALLY in our food? : and the generations and generations...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461871&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461871 Author: Konagirl

but on the WW program the way you work out your points is from the kilojoules and the fat content

thats the basic idea of weight loss, you consume and/or burn more kilojoules than you take in/absorb

One thing WW has taught me is to read the labels]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 20:48:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461723&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461723 <![CDATA[Whats REALLY in our food? : And hidden sugars in things as...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461532&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461532 Author: susieq

I love this show and watched it yesterday. I knew about Gladwrap thing and never used it in Microwave. But what worried me a bit is the baby bottle and other plastic Container thing....I dont think I will be heating any thing in plastic here on. And watch the "7" in each plastic container!!

i never used to put gladwrap in but got told and shown it was ok so do when defrosting meat(weirdly I would never put my own gladwrap in there though! ..i never defrosted it on the bench or the fridge when pregnant due to the listeria risk so defrosted it in the microwave... :(!!!

Bizzy - I was lost with the WW thing. Cause I "think" they asked whether WW has more kilojoules or not, not whether they had higher fat.... is that right? Cause they could be higher in kilojoules but lower in fat couldn't they? And therefore still the healthier option.... maybe? I don't know - just wondering....]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:16:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461227&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461227 <![CDATA[Whats REALLY in our food? : some other plastics also can leach...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461166&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461166 Author: Bizzy

some other plastics also can leach the same chemical into food too, esp if heated and/or if the food is fatty... it is also the same as the plastic coating on the inside of tin cans. (the same too with the plastic baby bottles)
it was a very interesting episode but i guessed the weight watchers would be fattier and also that the fruit biscuits contained more sugar... i'm a label reader! ]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:20:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461166&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461166 <![CDATA[Whats REALLY in our food? : I caught bits of it.

I watched it. Gladwrap is okay. It is the wrap that the supermarkets and meat places use that isn't. Cause they use a special kind so that it doesn't let the meat go brown, rip easily etc. Apparently that stuff when heated in the microwave - like you do when you defrost meat - that is bad. It leaches chemicals into the food. However it did say that the levels were low. Once wouldn't be a problem but continued use is bad.]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:12:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461150&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461150 <![CDATA[Whats REALLY in our food? : I couldn&#039;t believe that people...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461149&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461149 Author: cuppatea

I couldn't believe that people were microwaving glad wrap, I never had I just assumed it would melt.
I haven't seen the serious as it clashes with Hells kitchen, I did see a bit of the fish one though which has put me off fish for life.]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:11:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461149&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461149 <![CDATA[Whats REALLY in our food? : I never saw it, what was it about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19863&PID=461147&title=whats-really-in-our-food#461147 Author: Freesia

Has anyone else been watching this series? (TV 3, Tuesdays at 8) I have found it really interesting, and it seems to be pretty factual.  I definetly wont be microwave thawing anything in glad wrap again!!  And I thought the info on packaging was so true, I certainly would have thought "Lite" chips would contain less fat than any other type.  Will be reading the packaging a bit closer from now on!!
