Jimmy's Food Factory

Ever wonder what really goes into the food you buy at the supermarket? So does Jimmy Doherty, which is why the noted farmer sets out to answer the question in this informational programme. He performs experiments in his Suffolk barn that are designed to re-create the food industry's processes in an attempt to critique them. In his experiments, Doherty uncovers the tricks and techniques that food producers use to ensure that consumers can enjoy their favourite foods whenever they want. Some of his tests include trying to artificially ripen bananas so they are ready for the supermarket more quickly.
