The concept of what seasonal eating really means struck me when I travelled in Northern China. We talked to them about lamb which they always referred to as a ''warm food'', food used to warm their blood, generate energy and eaten only in winter time. There is logic behind this; there is not much fresh food available at -30degC. Now that we have all this fabulous food available to us, eating our required 5+ a day should be easy. That means 60% of us are not eating our 5+ A day - probably on a regular basis.
