Uncle Ben’s healthy plate campaign promotes healthy meals and portion control

WHEN Uncle Ben’s asked us to be a guinea pig for its healthy plate campaign here at Feelgood, muggins put up her hand.

Sure, who wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to tell a dietician exactly what you eat in any given day — including the rushed jam-on-toast breakfast and the sneaky digestive biscuits dunked in tea at afternoon-slump o’clock?

But dietician Orla Walsh is not the kind of lady to point fingers, though — and here’s a sobering fact — she does mention that having toast and butter and jam for breakfast is exactly the same as starting the day with cake.
