Half of Brits fed up with "do-good" healthy eating advice

Half of British adults are fed up with being told what they should eat by "do-good" campaigners, according to a new survey. As the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk reports, consumer research company Mintel http://www.mintel.com found that the overload of healthy eating information is also leading to confusion among the public. More than two-thirds of the 988 adults questioned said it is difficult to know which foods are healthy as "expert advice" keeps changing. A similar amount said that labelling did not help with selecting healthier options. Furthermore, three out of five said that it was difficult to work out if foods were healthy from the labels or information on food packets.
