Food has come a long way since the 1950s but is our appetite for convenience and our demand for cheap food coming at a cost? In a new six part series for RTÉ ONE Philip Boucher Hayes, with the help of series chef, Hilary O'Hagan, asks us if we really know what we're eating

This week Philip Boucher-Hayes finds out the difference between processed cheese and farmhouse cheese, and sets a confirmed dairy lover the challenge of following the dairy-free Vegan diet for a month.

This week Philip Boucher-Hayes looks at carbs and examines our staple foods - bread and the spud.

While 75% of us know that we should be eating 5 portions of fruit and veg daily, only one third of us follow through. Philip Boucher-Hayes meets the people of Cloughjordan Eco Village who grow their own food, tests schoolchildren on their knowledge of fruit and vegetables, puts the squeeze on the current craze for juicing, and finds out why our aversion to bitter tastes is narrowing the range of fruit and veg on supermarket shelves

In the final programme in the series, Philip Boucher-Hayes looks at the future of food and asks how can we feed the projected global population of 11 billion people in 2050.
