A recent thread I started (desert) seems to have mixed opinions on how healthy it is. In the interest of balance, I've decided to also start this thread for healthy recipes. I'll start with mine:
Healthy Eating

Oh thank you Goatboy 
A thread where the Scots discuss healthy eating with the Americans - I'm going to enjoy this!
Could you maybe also discuss religious tolerance whilst you are at it?

I'll have you know sir that my diet consists mainly of vegetables, grains and pulses with various foraged items thrown in - mainly as I am skint

Vegetables grains and pulses?
Deep fried Mars bar then?
Protein packed diet can be healthy and bloody tasty as well, I like the saying "eat till you puke, train till you puke" (Hugh Jackman)
Bacon fried in coconut oil and don't eat the fat, that will do nicely with protein pancakes drizzled in honey, and a coffee, Breakfast!

I'm one of the rare Scot's who's not gone down that route. Don't tell as they may take my passport away, but I'm not even that fond of chips!
Well apart from egg and chips

I recall the last time I was up there reading a whinging newspaper leader on Scotland's "health poverty" - outside a place that sold deep fried donner kebab pizza (I kid you not)
Its amazing to watch Darwins theories in action at first hand

Oh yes - I wasn't trying to exclude our American cousins - man for man, the most obese nation in the history of the world!

LOL. This coming from a man whose country gave us The Two Fat Ladies.
Aye it's not health poverty it's health laziness. But then parents don't tend to teach their kids how to fend for themselves and as you have intimated in other threads we're now into a 2nd generation life-skills shortage. Folk have been brought up with a freezer and microwave as an convenience rather than an asset. I love to cook, and can feed myself healthily and cheaply on little or no cash. Heck it's why Scots eat more soup than anyone else traditionally in the world.I recall the last time I was up there reading a whinging newspaper leader on Scotland's "health poverty" - outside a place that sold deep fried donner kebab pizza (I kid you not)

Oh we are far from good - but we really cannot compete with the US - in fact 21 places below the US in the world obesity stakes
Interesting to see that Mexico may be challenging the US for the world "lard ****" crown....
These days - I suspect its the chippy and the Maccy Ds that's the problem "Mum's gone to Iceland" (because she is too stupid to cook soup) is almost less of a problem!

Oh just give it some time Red. Although I admit you're shooting at a moving target.
Last decades problem maybe. Or even further back. Now the primary problem is lack of exercise. Too much time on screens and not enough outside.
True. But it's no fun without loads of bacon and decadent food either. Besides, being "healthy" just means you're dieing at the slowest rate. I want to go out in a blaze of glory!

Glad somebody resurrected this thread. Yep. Mexico edged us out this year.
