Are supermarket BBQ chickens a smart shortcut or something to avoid? Today, we separate facts from fear &mdash; plastic bags, heat lamps, skin vs breast, sodium, additives &mdash; and how to enjoy a &ldquo;chook night&rdquo; without the blow-outs. We also rant (productively!) about convenient nutrition &ldquo;rules&rdquo;, seed-oil panic, and the &ldquo;natural = healthy&rdquo; trap. Plus, a Woolies pantry hack we genuinely rate: Lebanese-style grains with chickpeas that make a high-fibre lunch in minutes. We finish with your listener question: how to find whole-grain, protein-forward options on weekends when everything seems to be white bread. In this episode <ul> <li> BBQ chicken decoded: plastic packaging under heat, microplastics concerns, skin vs breast, sodium, stuffing, and MSG sensitivities &mdash; what actually matters for health and what doesn&rsquo;t. </li> <li> Rant time (useful, we promise): convenient &ldquo;rules&rdquo; that only apply when it suits, seed-oil scaremongering, and why &ldquo;natural&rdquo; lollies with &ldquo;fake fibre&rdquo; aren&rsquo;t a free pass. </li> <li> Product spotlight: Woolworths Lebanese-style grains & chickpeas &mdash; why the ingredient list stacks up, clever add-ins, and how to split the pouch into two balanced lunches. </li> <li> Listener Q: weekend grab-and-go wins when whole-grain options seem non-existent (Subway builds, Vietnamese rice-paper rolls, Mexican bowls, and pre-packing strategies that beat mindless snacking). </li> </ul> &nbsp;See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
