We are what we eat. Why are people happy to gorge themselves on ultra-processed food?
Ultra-processed food not only leads to heart disease , type 2 diabetes and obesity, it also rewires our brain, diminishes our cognitive abilities.
Ultra processed food is costing the country £268 billion a year.
We should treat ultra-processed food in the same way we treat smoking.
- health warning
- tax
- no promotion or sponsorship
The disastrous Labour Budget last month was a lost opportunity. Why no tax on ultra-processed food cf sugar tax. Instead we had a tax on people, which will have the following impact on small businesses.
- lay people off
- cut their hours
- or go out of business.
