Food facts are hard to swallow

Walking into any major supermarket, it is easy to believe we have never had it so good. The shelves practically groan under the weight of affordable food, while its variety is staggering. But is it all an illusion?

What is the real story behind the colourful packaging, and the shrink-wrapped poultry, meat and fish? Do we really have as much choice as we think?

Fancy dining in a Routemaster bus and eating vegan food? Head to Vegan Routes in the middle of Soho.

The Venue
A double decker bus is not a new sight in London but a 1967 Routemaster-turned-restaurant parked in the middle of Soho is definitely a crowd stopper. Although it’s not a new idea (there’s RootMaster off Brick Lane), Vegan Routes is nevertheless a welcome addition to this part of town. The bus has been converted so that there is a kitchen on the ground floor and a dining area on the first floor. Here the decor is simple and organic and well suited to a venue serving only healthy vegan food. Lots of wooden tables and chairs and even a comfy booth with pillows have been cleverly squeezed into the available space. In good weather or when the upstairs is full you can also sit outdoors as the bus has a little garden with a pretty wooden fence. Here you can sit on one of the wooden benches and people-watch whilst sipping your smoothie.

What do you think about soya?

Many people shifting from a meat-eater diet to a vegetarian or vegan diet quite often are ending up into soya substitutive products. Is it soya really good for your health?
