Abstract
It is generally accepted that the nutritional knowledge of the average person in the U.K. is fairly low. Recent investigations have shown, for example, that few housewives were able to name the common sources of several essential nutrients and few of them have the correct view of a well balanced meal. This lack of knowledge seems remarkable when so many people would claim to be diet conscious, when the sale of cookery books is phenomenal and when the media and food manufacturers bombard the consumer with information about nutrition. Some specialist groups of people, such as diabetics and enthusiastic slimmers, may have a better understanding of nutrition than the average person. But even among the better informed sections of the community there are important gaps in knowledge and many misconceptions about nutrition.
