The technology can only do so much, nutrition is worth thinking about

Created by Jeremy Hunsinger (Virginia Tech) on October 2, 2008

Jamie's Ministry of Food, the celebrity chef's new TV series, is a powerful portrait of the socially excluded. It also reveals an enduring truth, says Felicity Lawrence: our diet today is as much about class as it always has been - and it will take more than a one-man mission to change that

-------

Given that we face the same sort of issues in the United States, with students coming into classes with various nutrition related illnesses, I think it might be worth considering some of the points made in this article about the issues about food in the U.K.

It is a bit off-topic, and it is nominally about a tv series, but I think it points toward some distressing issues that translate into computing behaviours also.
