Reception
Lucy Mangan of The Guardian described the documentary as a "bag of utter balls", criticising its presentation of the subject matter and simplistic style, but commending Healey's enthusiasm. Robert James Taylor, writing for the Shropshire Star, described it as "a painful experience" and "mind-bogglingly dumb". However, Simon Usborne of The Independent described the documentary as a "public service pill...worth swallowing" for its presentation of useful dietary advice.
