Title:         Food Facts & Fiction: Tonight - Where Does Our Food Come
               From?
Description:   First in a four-part Tonight special which examines where
               our food comes from, what it contains, and the impact it has
               on the nation's health. In the wake of the horsemeat scandal
               earlier this year, Jonathan Maitland asks how much we really
               know about the food we eat, and questions whether our
               attitude to food has changed. Food manufacturers do not have
               to provide country of origin labelling for the meat in their
               ready meals and other processed foods, but in a survey of
               2,000 people conducted for this programme, 65 per cent said
               they wanted to know where those meat products did come from.
               Jonathan Maitland goes into the food processing business
               himself and creates a traditional British lamb hotpot -
               which is not all that it seems

Title:         Food Facts & Fiction: Tonight - What's in Our Food?
Description:   The second in a four-part series examines the impact of our
               apparently insatiable demand for cheap food. We like our
               food to be fresh - we also like convenience and plenty of
               choice. But most of all, it seems we like our food to be
               cheap. Food prices may have been rising but, as a proportion
               of household income, we spend less than our grandparents did
               on food. Jonathan Maitland asks whether this has had an
               impact on what goes in our food - and reveals some
               surprising facts about our favourite foods - including
               chicken, bread and ham

Title:         India's Supersize Kids
Description:   Anita Rani travels to Mumbai to investigate the obesity
               epidemic engulfing India's growing middle class. She meets
               some of India's overweight teenagers who can't stop bingeing
               on western fast foods, including 13-year-old Kaleb who
               weighs more than 15 stone. Regulation of the fast food
               industry is much looser than in Western countries and
               wealthy Indians are susceptible to the lure of advertising
               and the promise of a western lifestyle. And now that the
               international fast-food chains and their Indian imitators
               are opening up branches beyond the big cities in India, the
               obesity problem is set to explode into a national pandemic.

Title:         Food Facts & Fiction: Tonight - The Health Traps
Description:   In the third of a four-part special series on the food we
               eat, Jonathan Maitland asks why so many of us find it so
               difficult to eat healthily. According to a specially
               commissioned survey of 2,000 people, most of us want to eat
               a healthy diet, but levels of obesity are fast approaching a
               national health crisis. Processed foods are tempting, but
               they often contain salt, sugar and saturated fat. Jonathan
               undergoes a series of medical tests to monitor his reaction
               to different types of food, and discovers that his heart
               rate quickens and he literally breaks out into a sweat when
               faced with dishes loaded with these ingredients. Celebrity
               chef Simon Rimmer spends the day with a low-income family
               who are desperate to improve their diet, and visits a school
               with no kitchen to discover what the children have in their
               lunchboxes

               Head of Health at PepsiCo and poses the question: why does
               the food industry put so much money into promoting exercise?
