Britons have changed their food habits – go in for pizzas, kebabs and ready meals

A recent study has revealed that the British have changed their food habits over the last four decades and going for pizzas, kebabs and ready meals – cooking has gone for a nosedive! Other food items that have become more popular are chicken, salmon and yoghurt, while jelly squares have all but gone – its requirement has dropped from 13 grams per week to 5 grams.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 26 June 2015.

The study has also brought to light the facts that they now buy staggering amounts of bottled water as compared to the 1970s, and liver, Brussels sprouts or lard do not find a pace in their shopping lists.
Moreover, in trying to become a healthier nation, they purchase more of brown bread – its sale has gone up 93 per cent over the past four decades, while white bread is down 71 per cent.
These have been disclosed in the annual Family Food survey by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs DEFRA – the analysis is of the average amount of popular foods purchased per person, per week, in 1974 as compared to 2013.
