Secret Eaters

Anna Richardson has another big fat reality check in the grounding breaking series that explores the psychology and science of eating. Helena and Murray have been happily married for 22 years but their weight gain is giving them a lot more to have and hold on to. 55 year old Helena is convinced it’s down to the menopause whilst Murray is at a loss to explain why he’s clocking in at 18stone. With surveillance cameras locked and loaded around the house will the evidence reveal a difference in what they think they eat and what they actually eat? Glutton Nation this week is at a trucker’s café. Which drivers will park up for a calorie pit stop and leave with a bit more of a spare tyre? In Secret Science, Professor Jane Ogden from the University of Surrey will be running an experiment to find out if the positioning of fruit and vegetables in the school canteen will encourage children to choose healthier options.
