Healthiest Meal Ever: Food Researchers Create World's Healthiest Meal

 

Put away the broccoli, tuck that quinoa in the pantry, and don't even look at those apples -- scientists have come up with the healthiest meal in the world, and the menu looks pretty darn tasty.
Employees at UK-based Leatherhead Food Research, a marketing and research company for the food industry, were given a challenge by their boss: come up with a meal that incorporates the 222 health claims the company had determined were valid and scientifically based, from an original pool of 44,000.
Originally intended as an airline meal, CEO Dr. Paul Berryman came up with the idea flying back from a food conference. "I had spent three days talking about health claims and at a round table event I suggested that Leatherhead could make a product with all 222 claims, no problem!" he states in the company's press release. "It wasn’t that simple, but we did it within one week!"
Another chef, Gurpareet Bains, had previously created a meal he deemed the world's healthiest -- a curry that included "superfoods" like blueberries, goji berries and chicken. The meal could help fight carcinogenic cells, he told the Telegraph in 2009, and the ginger, chilli, turmeric and garlic contained within it boasted antibacterial and antiviral properties.
So what goes into the world's healthiest meal when scientists have a say? Read more:
