The difference now is that it\u2019s not gifts nobody really needs that we\u2019re being manipulated into buying. Instead it\u2019s time to invest in becoming a \u201cnew you\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like ambulance chasing lawyers, the \u201cwellbeing industry\u201d scents profit in our seasonal frailty.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we should join a gym, sign up for yoga classes, lash out on scarily expensive running shoes that this time won\u2019t knacker our knees, cruise supermarket \u2018wellness\u2019 aisles, buy the latest weight loss book, stock up on far-freighted berries and avocado.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or better still, radically alter our diet so that instantly a huge chunk of our former routine food shopping list becomes redundant and needs replaced with a series of novel, allegedly health-improving products. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like ambulance chasing lawyers, the \u201cwellbeing industry\u201d scents profit in our seasonal frailty.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">January is one of the worst times for seasonal vegetables and fruit.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But you know what? If I\u2019m going to become a healthier me it\u2019s not going to happen in January. Why? For starters, January is one of the worst times for seasonal vegetables and fruit. UK production is limited, European imports as yet thin and paltry. And the weather is still dark and energy sapping, which means that the emotional lure of everything that\u2019s stodgy, comforting, and no effort to make, is intense. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you really want to improve your diet, hang on until April; from then on, the greengrocer\u2019s range starts getting the gastric juices flowing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">January for me is a month for retrenchment, to be got through by lying low and avoiding spending money. But that doesn\u2019t mean utter passivity. One obvious creative challenge for the month ahead is artfully using up all the food in the store cupboard and freezer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you\u2019re one of those bare-larder grazers who lurches from one ready meal to another, odds on, like everyone who is better at buying food than cooking it, you\u2019re sitting on a small fortune of unused edibles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cracking into it stimulates your ingenuity and resourcefulness with food and will palpably improve your January financial forecast.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dipping into old cookbooks can be surprisingly revelatory.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most households have a recipe book or two lying around reminding us of the theoretical possibility of preparing our own food, as opposed to relying on poor value-for-money convenience stuff, but these volumes have a habit of becoming invisible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dipping into old cookbooks can be surprisingly revelatory, reminding you of a few old favourite and quite doable recipes. Before you buy a new food book this month, look at what you\u2019ve already got.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise? I can think of one that it\u2019s never too early to start: don\u2019t trail round the supermarket passively sucking up whatever is being marketed to you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, map out your positive, alternative shopping route, favouring small shops, markets, and every progressive outlet in your area that\u2019s beavering away to build a saner, healthier food system. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With these simple, free actions you can step into February with a spring in your step.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s January again, the month of food angst, apathy, and opportunism.
