Location: Three Wise Monkeys (Top Floor)

Health and fitness - it's everywhere. With so much conflicting advice out there, how do we know what's best for us? Why is it that many athletes perceived to be 'peak fitness' die so young due to steroid abuse? Why are we reaching for a protein bar instead of a banana - what happened to 5 a day? Why are we so obsessed with superfoods, but also rely so heavily on nutritional supplements? Join us tonight as we explore changing attitudes towards exercise, health and fitness.

Exercise? I thought you said extra fries..
