Aye, Van Tulleken, just googled them. Never off the telly!
One of them did a programme on the BBC a year or two back about ultra-processed food. He lived on what is the diet of most people in this country, particularly children and young adults, ultra-processed junk and fast food.
What it did to his body was bad enough, what it did to his brain was truly shocking. The effect on a child’s developing brain and body of such a diet is horrendous.

Funny how they don't produce articles showing how many arable businesses are going into or incorporating livestock production to boost soil health and cashflow.
"FFSFF" (farmers for stock free farming)
FFS!
if they can't think of a better name for their organisation than that, there isn't much to worry about!

Couldn't be bothered to read the article, but have these 'farmers for stock free farming' thought through the consequences of having no livestock manure to fertilise crops.

Have just watched the pupils in our secondary school come out of a GCSE exam and head straight across the road to the corner shop for their dinner of fizzy pop and crisps, I would say a good third of them are bordering obese. That school has a burgeoning SEN department, they do great work but you can't help but think that those kids would be in a better place mentally if they ate a healthy diet.

This is worth a watch, if you have a spare hour and a half:
