Accrington Web - View Single Post - East Lancashire health and lifestyle survey from the NHS.

I have looked at the link and it seems that the survey I was asked to complete has been formulated using those guidelines.

My problem with such surveys is that they infer that anyone eating copious amounts of saturated fats and not eating '5 a day' is injuring their health.

I strongly disagree with the 'healthy diet' guidelines we are bombarded with, so my answers to diet questions would be interpreted as 'unhealthy'. I object to my diet being so classified by use of flawed nutrition research.
