The 2010s is a time we have come to think of as the ‘wellness' rebrand. The era in which we declared that we wanted to be ‘strong not skinny' and that we discarded what we now thought of as ‘fad' diets and traded them in for consistent ‘healthy' living. Skin and bones were out, toned arms, visible abs and curves in all the right places were in.Today we're investigating if by replacing thinness as the thing to which we should aspire to with “healthy”, many of us fell into a false sense of healing, not realising how unhealthy our new and ‘healthy' habits really were….Thanks so much to our amazing guests who feature on this episode: Alice Liveing, Melissa Hemsley and Tally RyeFollow @tallyrye on Instagram Find out more about Tally's work hereFollow @melissa.hemsley on Instagram Order Melissa's latest book Real Healthy here Follow @aliceliveing on Instagram You can buy your copy of Alice's book Give Me Strength hereIf you would like to get in touch - you can email us on shouldideletethat@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram:@shouldideletethat@em_clarkson@alexlight_ldnShould I Delete That is produced by Faye LawrenceMusic: Dex RoyStudio Manager: Dex RoyTrailers: Sophie RichardsonVideo Editor: Celia GomezSocial Media Manager: Emma-Kirsty Fraser Hosted on Acast.

This week, Melissa Hemsley, food writer, chef and sustainability champion, joins the Food Foundation podcast to look at the factors that can stop women getting healthy food when they're pregnant and when they're planning to be.The Food Foundation's latest report Preconception, Pregnancy and Healthy Weight in Childhood shows how much a child's health is influenced before conception, in the womb, and how a child is predisposed to obesity if their parents, especially their mother is living with obesity. We meet mums and food workers from around the country who describe what it's like to try to feed your unborn and newborn child when transport and the cost of living crisis makes access and affordability just two of the biggest deterrents to a healthy diet.Nutritionist and one of the authors of the report, Jenny Rosborough outlines its main findings, while Jeni Meadows of the Food Justice Partnership at Lancaster City Council, Lucy Jackman of Feeding Bristol and Natasha Ricketts from the Evelyn Community Centre in Lewisham introduce us to some of the mums who need the most help.Check out the report here which urges Government to do more to address health inequalities and improve the food environment, particularly for families and parents on a low income. Rates of overweight and obesity in pregnant women increase as the level of deprivation increases. Women living in the most deprived areas are more likely to be underweight or are living with obesity.The report draws attention to the fact that, while Government has acknowledged the need to reduce levels of childhood obesity, more than 1 fifth of children aged four and five start school in England with overweight or obesity (22.2%). These rates are more than twice as high in children living in the most deprived areas compared to the least. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Dev looks back at the Food Foundation's Feed the Future event which promoted the super powers of free school meals to a hall full of MPs, campaigners and celebrity chefs.800,000 children live in poverty in the UK, but because they're not poor enough, they're not entitled to free school meals. The threshold is just £7400 per household after benefits, yet expanding free school meals to all children from households who get Universal Credit would reach all these children in poverty.As the influencer guests sat down for a Chefs in School dinner served by Tom Kerridge and Melissa Hemsley, and with young people who've experienced first-hand just how important free school meals are, the chat was enlightening for everyone.Write to your MP in seconds to ask for free schools for all children who need it by clicking on this link Hosted on Acast.

Should 16 year-olds be allowed to vote? What about trying mushrooms for anxiety? How do you make friends as an adult?

A lighthearted and witty exploration of some of the big questions that come up when trying to 'walk the green line'. Helping us tackle the question: 'Are we throwing away our future with our food?', is waste warrior and champion for Fairtrade and food sustainability, Melissa Hemsley, Author and Architect, & TED Talk Star, Carolyn Steel, and Ed Gillespie. Environmental entrepreneur, speaker, writer and futurist. Hosted by Juliet Davenport, climate scientist, renewable pioneer, businesswoman, environmental activist and founder of the UK's first 100% renewable electricity supplier, this podcast invites a panel of comedians and experts to tackle some of the common (and quirky!) questions that pop to mind when trying to live a greener life. Topics covered: - What are the potential threats of not addressing food waste? - Corporate sustainability - and should it really be down to the individual - How cities and infrastructure influence how and what we eat - Food literacy, and the fact that so much of what we are talking about relies on people knowing their way around a well stocked, or indeed understocked, kitchen. Can we really crack food waste without cracking cooking skills? - Practical tips for reducing food waste at home including some of Melissa's recipes and tips of where to start - A surprising turn of events for the humble and ever binned banana peel.. and then many, many uses of a cauliflower stem Great Green Questions is powered by Good Energy and produced by Mags Creative, with curation from Hawkwood Centre for Future Thinking.

Anna Barnett today joins Melissa Hemsley in her east London kitchen, resplendent with built-in wok and teppanyaki grill, to discuss the pleasures of dining alone (and not just to chat up the waiters), how the vibrancy of Filipino cuisine is having a moment, reusing leftovers, and the importance of a well-stocked freezer should you find yourself in A&E after a tumble down the stairs. The only thing standing in the way of Anna’s hand-crafted sandwich this week is an uninvited spider Melissa finds in our host’s hair. TOP QUOTES “Cooking for yourself from scratch is a wonderful way to nourish yourself; physically, mentally, emotionally.” Melissa “(My mum) didn’t teach me how to cook so much as taught me not to throw away.” Melissa “What’s the first meal I’m going to have when I get out of A&E?” Melissa “If you cook, you don’t have to clean. And while I’m cooking, I’m also always eating.” Anna “If I could sum you up as a food, Anna, you’d be a cold press olive oil.” Melissa RESOURCES http://www.melissahemsley.com (www.melissahemsley.com) http://www.bora.com (www.bora.com) http://www.riverford.co.uk (www.riverford.co.uk) http://www.silolondon.com (www.silolondon.com) http://www.felixproject.org (www.felixproject.org) http://www.heckfieldplace.com (www.heckfieldplace.com) http://www.risefierce.com (www.risefierce.com) http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk (www.boroughmarket.org.uk) http://www.hodmedods.co.uk (www.hodmedods.co.uk) ABOUT THE GUEST Melissa Hemsley is a self-taught chef, food columnist, author, real food activist and sustainability champion who is passionate about spreading the power of feel-good food.

Christmas is over, everyone’s eaten too much – and yet, there’s still a mountain of leftover goodies, from the turkey to the cheese board, from the veggies to the fruit cake. So how can we make the most of festive leftovers? And for that matter, leftovers at any time of year? Because this isn’t just about reducing the 4.5 million tonnes of food that UK households waste every year, it can also be a route to some seriously delicious dishes… Sheila Dillon gets creative in the kitchen while finding out more about the leftovers ethos from cook and author Melissa Hemsley, food-loving writer Bill Buford, and author and journalist Debora Robertson; along with tips for up-cycling the remainders of festive feasts from School of Wok's Jeremy Pang, Gardeners' World's Frances Tophill and BBC Food's Emily Angle. Presented by Sheila Dillon; produced by Lucy Taylor in Bristol. Pictured: BBC Food's Ultimate Festive Cheese Toastie from Sarah Cook. Find the recipe at www.bbc.co.uk/food.

Highlights include: Booksmart, The Trial of Christine Keeler and both of us have some odd discoveries, from the Icelandic Eurovision entry to Julian Simmons introducing Coronation Street back in 1998. Our main topic this week is books, we go through everything we have been reading (and not finishing it Liv's case) in the last 6 months. We for the first time (definitely not the last) get to hear from you, our lovely listeners and find out what you have been reading too.

Just to let you know, we briefly talk about suicide (15:35) and racism in this episode (31:44). This week we have a long catch up, firstly starting with the weather because would we be British if we didn't? In Telly Talk it's the penultimate of Liv's ‘Love Island Minute' - Liv also discusses Mamma Mia 2, Disney's Coco and Christopher Robin. Meanwhile Charlotte's been watching Anthony Bourdain's back catalogue, continuing with Dietland, and is now Ladygaga's number fan after watching her documentary Five Foot Two. Alongside TV, we discuss the book ‘Why I am No Longer Talking to White People About Race' by Reni Eddo-Lodge. In shopping we learn what dream Gucci item Liv is lusting over, and Charlotte's new favourite cheese (you really get it all on this podcast). Alongside this we discuss visiting Sheffield, going pescatarian for a week and a few of our favourite new apps.
