The Supermarket Dilemma

Max Cotton, a retired political journalist, is on a mission to eat only food grown in the UK for an entire year, on a £30 per week budget. Why? He wants to know if Britain can produce the diet we need, when as a nation we import nearly half our food.

The series begins by asking why processed food labels make it so difficult to know where ingredients come from, and reveals that staples like supermarket bread may not be as British as we think.
