Promoting lower-calorie takeaways in delivery apps ‘could cut obesity’
Helping people choose lower-calorie options when ordering takeaways in food delivery apps can help tackle obesity, three new studies suggest.
Data presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Dublin suggests that displaying healthier foods and restaurants more prominently – and/or making small portions the default option – helps people choose more wisely.

She is right, though, that the kind of food we sell in the shop is, by definition, healthy.
To us at Nourished Folks, “healthy” food is a cornucopia of rainbow vegetables that come from the ground, anchored by beans and grains to sop them all up. We think healthy food is made mostly from scratch, is organic sometimes when the stars align and generally just feels good for you to eat.
With that said, here are some healthy eating tips for 2023:
1. Every time you take a bite of food or sip a hot mug of whatever it is that you love,
