Research released today by Panasonic, to mark the launch of its new Sensor Microwave, reveals that 80 per cent of local students admit that their dinner usually consists of processed foods including take away and ready meals.

To encourage healthier habits, Italian food classes could be introduced as a fun and engaging way to teach students to cook from scratch. These classes could focus on simple, budget-friendly dishes like...

Park Bench Etiquette – would you stay or go?

Research reveals Brits in the South West give strangers the cold shoulder on park benches. Conversation-shy Brits in South West England would rather pack up and go if they are joined on a park bench by a stranger, research has revealed.
