An indicator of a ‘healthy’ supermarket is the percentage of junk-food-free checkouts. In a NZ study of 204 supermarkets (Pak n Save, Countdown and New World), only 1 supermarket had all check-outs junk-free. On average, NZ supermarkets only have 15% junk-food-free checkouts. Where is this ‘healthy’ supermarket? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Vandevijvere, S., Waterlander, W., Molloy, J., Nattrass, H., & Swinburn, B. (2018). Towards healthier supermarkets: a national study of in-store food availability, prominence and promotions in New Zealand.

THE STRUCTURE OF FATS determines its properties e.g. the length of the fatty acid indicates whether it is a liquid or solid at room temperature A short chain fatty acid will be solid - butter A long chain fatty acid will be liquid - oils A medium chain fatty acid is inbetween - coconut oil ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My latest blog is the start of a series on fats.
