Obesity has a simple cause: the food industry is poisoning us https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/11/17/obesity-has-a-simple-cause-the-food-industry-is-poisoning-us/ A House of Lords report has made clear that obesity in the UK, and all the many diseases that flow from it, has one cause - and that is the dire food that food industry now supplies, that is poisoning us all. There is no pill that solves this problem, whatever Wes Streeting might say. Only radical reform of food regulation can solve this crisis - and save the economy.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

@RichardJMurphy It's all about money .. and doing cheap food with long shelf life .. carbs, fats, sugars, salt and artificial flavouring over 'bulking material' and you get 'a perfect recipe for disaster'. Sadly proper good for you food should be fresh, made with simple but fresh/quality ingredients, cooked and eaten on the spot not stored for X time. But most of all should be made with "real quality stuff" good veggies, good meat, good flour, good eggs .. It's the problem with lowering costs.
