IS RAISIN THE PRICES OF FOOD REALLY AFFECTING OUR HEALTH? WE SPEAK TO NADIYA
PARKAR, STUDENT AT THE SIXTH FORM COLLEGE SOLIHULL, TO GAIN MORE INFORMATION
ON HER NEW INNOVATIVE DOCUMENTARY THAT EVERYONE’S BEING WAITING FOR.
Food prices have been rising for many years now, but was it really that big of an issue? Of
course, when it comes to grocery shopping, having a take out or going for a meal with
friends and family we all choose to go for the most affordable option. However, have we
realised any problems within this? Nadiya Parkar, a student has decided to create her own
documentary about how she’s found out that the most unhealthiest foods are cheaper than
the more healthier option.
Parkar is an ordinary ‘brummy girl’ who has a passion for film creating and documentary
making. “I always used to make little fun videos with friends and family, just constantly
putting cameras in peoples faces!” she says. Growing up in her home town was pretty
normal, she did what any other teenager would do by going to school, following to college
and starting to think about possible university options. However, after posting some You-
Tube videos online involving food challenges, it wasn't long before BBC themselves con-
tacting her about a potential upcoming documentary. “When I first saw a notification
come through to my email, I honestly thought it were just another college email. It wasn't
until the day after I decided to check and I was honestly shocked!” she explains. Nadiya
told us how the BBC indicated how much they loved both the topics she talked about and
the editing styles she uses. So you're probably wondering why food right? Parkar states
that when the BBC contacted her she knew she wanted to create a documentary that she

2. was passionate about. We wanted to find out how she broke the news to her friends and
family about this amazing opportunity. “I had all my family and friends down for a barbe-
cue and decided to tell them then. They were all thrilled for me and began asking me
what it was going to be based around. I explained I wanted to do it on something I loved
and it wasn't until my mom, who was holding a steak in her hand said ‘FOOD!’ We all
laughed for a moment but then I thought, hold on… this might be a great idea. They all
thought I was insane but I knew I could make this work”. Parkar has always been a joker
amongst both family and friends and told us that this was how she got the name of the
documentary of ‘The Big MiSTEAK’, as she wanted to have a play on words and to be
something the audience could laugh at.
Nadiya’s documentary, ‘The Big MiSTEAK’ is already trending on various social network
sites and it seems like its the new ‘buzz’. She indicates that various people have been
sending so many tweets and messages about how excited and thrilled they are. “Its over
whelming about all this support that I am getting”.
The documentary follows Nadiya as she finds out about how something simple as food
prices can affect our weight and how healthy we actually are. She beings to find out that
students think that the prices are ‘ridiculously expensive’ and how out decisions change as
we get older. Parkar includes exclusive interviews with the head teacher of the Sixth
Form, Paul Ashdown and also Amy Reiner, a biology experts who begins to explain what we
should be eating.
“I never knew my love for food could have this much of an impact!” If there’s one thing
we know about this documentary is that its not one to miss!
