Clarissa Dickson Wright calls for honest food labelling

Clarissa Dickson Wright, famous for her Two Fat Ladies TV show, takes leading food retailers to task for selling products with unclear or misleading information about the source of their meat.

Our Honest Food campaign aims to get compulsory 'country of origin' labelling introduced in order to empower consumers and stop misleading packaging.

No, she looks like a real person to me. I'm American and I wish we saw more real-looking people on TV like you in Britain do. It's refreshing and encouraging to see people, particularly women, who look like normal people for their age. You just don't see that on TV in the US. In the US, a female celebrity like Clarissa would almost certainly have had loads of plastic surgery to cover up her age. It's healthy for your society that she hasn't.

Well worthy campaign, i hope something is done about it!

This is a very justified call. We have to assure fair trade all over the world, and preserve as well, by using local produce.

hey must fancy her a real pain in the arse

this is called importing and there is nothing wrong with it. just cuz some things are imported it doesn't mean that the entire line of something is.

This is one of the reasons we buy largely from a greenmarket outside Paris, France. It's cheaper and the merchants can be asked directly where it came from. The butchers often have snapshots of their free range animals, and you can arrange to actually visit their facilities sometimes, by appointment. She looks great, totally normal. I do have to cook from scratch a lot, but we stick to a modest weekly food budget fairly easily. Thank you for posting.
