22 July 2008 – 22 July 2008
8:00 pm TV3
New to 3, Petra Bagust hosts What's Really In Our Food? The show investigates the food we eat, exploring the benefits and risks and debunking some of the popular myths or misunderstandings surrounding so many food products. We look at where our food comes from and how it is made, and along the way we demystify the science, test the ingredients and translate the labels. Tonight: 'Fruit And Vege'. We're supposed to eat five plus servings
of fruit and vegetables a day, but for most of us it's a struggle to get just two to three veggies on our dinner plates. So if we need to eat more fruit and vegetables, just what should we be eating?http://www.tv3.co.nz/TVShows/Reality/InsideNZ/tabid/86/articleID/33600/cat/1
