Less time = less nutrition: why?

Lifestyles are becoming more hectic. A survey(*1) recently found that the average amount of time people were spending on lunch had fallen from 35 minutes in 2000 to just 27 minutes in 2002, and we can only guess how long will be taken in the future!

As peoples lives become faster with less time to eat, what they eat becomes ever more important so, how healthy are the options currently available?

The obvious choice for most people in a hurry is a sandwich, but feast point urges consumers, especially women, to choose their sandwiches carefully, especially for the fat content as many brands contain over 40% of the average daily fat allowance.

The average daily energy consumption for men is 2500 Kcal and for women 2000. 33% of that energy intake should be via fat, which equates to 95gms of fat per day for men and 70gms for women.(*2)
At feast point we have put together a menu of tasty, healthier options, and as the chart on the next page shows, for a 400gm portion feast point meal, you get on average, less fat, salt, and calories than in a sandwich, with the average sandwich weighing less than 200gms.

We offer a range of healthy salads hand prepared in our own kitchens from the finest ingredients with varities to reflect the diversityof our menu. We genuinely create our salads for variety and flavour, and we are sure that nowhere in the high street will you find such quality for such a value price.

The feast point dispenses a range of healthy drinks such as orange juice, real still lemonade, smoothies and pure still mineral water. These drinks are bottled especially for feast point and have beeen sourced for their quality and flavour and offer a tasty, healthy alternative to the sugary drinks available elsewhere. If you want something hot, try one of our 100% natural soups in a cup which come in a range of seasonal flavours.

We have spent many months sourcing and creating the best quality product and then designed a feast point to dispense this menu directly to the consumer. We have ensured we offer something different to the norm, in order that you can eat a healthy, quick and convenient meal, in a way that has not been previously possible.
