The BBC should be ashamed of themselves
This I presume was supposed to tackle the myths and nonsense surrounding food today.
Instead it perpetuates them in the New Millennial fashion of "Ask everybody who hasn't a clue, and then believe whatever it was you believed before".
I grew totally exasperated at the ancient yellow journalism of heading up stories with variations of the same question posed as a statement, working it over and over again, tediously coming to no considered or factual conclusion and starting all over again to just fill the word count and time allotted.
This is all in response to the same tabloids half reading scientific papers and then misreporting them to stir controversy.
The female presenter is particularly annoying with feigned knowledge that is nothing of the sort and calls up strings of other know nothing minor celebrities who have nothing to contribute except that they are not that other fount of wisdom, people randomly picked up from somewhere. Probably lost in aisle 3 of the supermarket.
The real experts played the extras in this Blockbuster (they knew too much) and only got to speak after a long rambling misstatement of misread and miswritten "facts". They were probably told to remove the sarcasm out of their voices and instead sound and look totally bored. b
Like me they appeared to wish they were anywhere else than this pointless exercise in gum flapping ignorance. Nobody was really interested in anything the experts said, now the presenters were in charge conducting "The Experiments".
I was so wanting out after barely managing to get through the first episode I was willing to chew any of my limbs off "to make a point about raw meat" and be hospitalised far away from this source of infectious senility.
Other than that it was quite good!
