I visited my local Heron Foods to get my full week's shopping.
With the cost of living crisis continuing, we’ve taken a look at if its possible to get everything you need for a week from lesser known supermarket Heron Foods.
READ MORE: We compared own brand spreads from Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons and M&S and there's one we'd buy again I often struggle with what to buy during my food shop, with so many options and being a picky eater I tend to make last minute decisions about my meals. This time was no different, leaving me to make quick decisions on what I’d enjoy throughout the week - and what I could actually get my hands on.
I also managed to get some products for tea, including a Santa Maria Fajita Kit , an Italian Sweet Chilli Chicken pizza , a bag of frozen Salt and Chilli Chicken . The verdict Ultimately, the supermarket didn’t offer everything I’d need for a full week’s shop. While the basics were there, even the main ingredient for a dish sometimes, the trimmings or additional items weren’t available.

Risk of hip fracture in meat-eaters, pescatarians, and vegetarians: results from the UK Women’s Cohort Study - BMC MedicineBackground The risk of hip fracture in women on plant-based diets is unclear. We aimed to investigate the risk of hip fracture in occasional meat-eaters, pescatarians, and vegetarians compared to regular meat-eaters in the UK Women’s Cohort Study and to determine if potential associations between each diet group and hip fracture risk are modified by body mass index (BMI). Methods UK women, ages 35–69 years, were classified as regular meat-eaters (≥ 5 servings/week), occasional meat-eaters (| 5 servings/week), pescatarian (ate fish but not meat), or vegetarian (ate neither meat nor fish) based on a validated 217-item food frequency questionnaire completed in 1995–1998. Incident hip fractures were identified via linkage to Hospital Episode Statistics up to March 2019. Cox regression models were used to estimate the associations between each diet group and hip fracture risk over a median follow-up time of 22.3 years. Results Amongst 26,318 women, 822 hip fracture cases were observed (556,331 person-years). After adjustment for confounders, vegetarians (HR (95% CI) 1.33 (1.03, 1.71)) but not occasional meat-eaters (1.00 (0.85, 1.18)) or pescatarians (0.97 (0.75, 1.26)) had a greater risk of hip fracture than regular meat-eaters. There was no clear evidence of effect modification by BMI in any diet group (p-interaction=0.3). Conclusions Vegetarian women were at a higher risk of hip fracture compared to regular meat-eaters. Further research is needed to confirm this in men and non-European populations and to identify factors responsible for the observed risk difference. Further research exploring the role of BMI and nutrients abundant in animal-sourced foods is recommended. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT05081466
