1. Highest welfare standards present in the world currently are used while producing British meat. It is strictly observed that there are no growth-enhancing hormones used and if any antibiotic is administered, then care is taken that it is done only under the supervision of a veterinary.
2. Among the various European Union member states, the standards of welfare governed and operated by the UK law are comparatively much higher and the pig farmers of Britain abide by these laws. Therefore before purchasing a packet of ham, pork or bacon which has the words such as “product of EU” inscribed on it, you have to think twice before deciding. The chance of it coming from the farming system that is generally illegal in Britain is 70%.
3. Britain’s sheep and beef industries are among the most sought after industries in the world. The genetics and breeding livestock of the native breeds are in much demand among the farmers in various other countries. Purchasing the real thing and not the imported substitute will help in protecting the industry of native livestock to a large extent.
4. In Britain, it is possible to trace each and every animal’s dam and its place of birth by means of the cattle passport system.
5. The chickens carrying the logo of British Red Tractor have been produced to meet a higher set of standards which cover every stage in the food chain right from rearing the animal to processing it. If we want to know from which farm did it come, it can always be traced back.
6. Consuming British vegetables and fruits during the season is very good for the people. The necessary minerals, nutrients and trace elements which are required by our body at a particular time in the year are present in the Foods in the season. For an example let us consider the following case, the climate shift during Summer to Winter marks the British Food Fortnight. The vegetables and fruits that now come into the season, such as the apples and the butternut squash are filled with vitamin C so that it boosts our resistance to the colds of the winter.
7. When you buy British food, it has a very low carbon footprint because they travel very less from the farm to the shop. Therefore regardless of how it is calculated, it has a low carbon footprint.
8. We can support the British farmers who work and help in keeping the British countryside in the way that we want by choosing the British products. Without these British farmers in the country side there would be no cows or sheep.

And please remember not to be misdirected by the packaging in the supermarket that makes the imported food and the British food to look similar. While you buy British foods, or any product, please try to look for the evidence like British Flags and the information about its origin and the assurance marks.

In fact, eating Belgian chocolates keeps me literally high. Sometimes, a little chocolate really throws me off kilter. I’ll have to sit down, after much difficulty. You might think I’m joking, but I am not.

But the truth is the gourmet chocolate do not make me fat. Because I am careful with it. I believe that things that you really like must be saved for special occasions. So I can enjoy all the chocolate candies regularly from time to time. They taste good to me. Even if they are not as good as gourmet chocolates, I do not complain. Because I am not only eating gourmet chocolate. If I had every day, I would be able to eat cake, pies, candy, sweets or any other. I would be very annoyed with fruit.

There are different types of gourmet chocolates . Sometimes, my favorite is a simple bar of dark chocolate. I have the impression that this is all what you need. The rich, dark chocolate unpolluted by other flavors is enough to satisfy your thirst. Then, it is sometimes good to have a good chocolate truffle or something like that. The truffle as a whole is more delicious than any of its parts. Plus, it’s easy to enjoy a truffle. For some reason, even if I can eat through a delicacy in five seconds with a complex gourmet chocolate I usually take my time and savor the good flavor of chocolates.Courtesy of Interior Designer
