"Are we getting more health conscious? I have been reading quite a few articles recently that say 'green' vegetable sales are improving. In my weekend magazine from Waitrose it states "Courgettes (Zucchini) sales have increased by 13% over last years sales, and Spring Greens, Kale, Spinach and White Cabbage sales have also increased." Many more people are now using the low carb vegetable alternatives, rather than the higher carb foods, such as pasta and rice. A lower carb alternative does not cause the blood sugar spikes, especially important if you are a diabetic ... but increasingly those who are looking for a healthier lifestyle such as LCHF (low carb high fat) find the swap you make so worthwhile to your general health and well-being. You only have to look at this blog and many other 'low carb' blogs to see the many positive outcomes people are experiencing."
Now it's 2025 and I and I think many readers enjoy swaps, like these three below.
Swap: pasta for courgette/zucchini
Spinach and ricotta lasagne with courgette (zucchini) pasta
see recipe here
Swap: rice for cauliflower
Sausage with Cauliflower and Parsley Rice

Also Low Carb Cauliflower rice - see here
although many supermarkets now sell ready frozen cauliflower rice
Swap: tacos for lettuce

Doesn't the food look great?
Perhaps you'll try one (or all) of these recipe suggestions?
All the best Jan

I do think we are getting more healthy. I think people are trying to avoid processed foods and eating more fruits and vegetables.
The food does look scrumptuous and carrot fries sounds great. My daughter makes pickled carrots, which doesn't sound very good but they certainly are tasty. YOU, have a great one;)
