Looking at the scene now, you've expressed concern that the sort of food system in Britain is, I think you've used the word broken.
What do you think needs to happen?
Because there are a lot of concerns around people eating too much processed food and not being able to cook healthy food.
You're obviously presenting an option, but what else needs to happen?
I mean, since 1990, we've seen a fourfold increase in obesity levels across the world and even more in the UK.
And then we talked about ultra processed food, how the UK is leading in bad nutrition pretty much next to the US.
And you've got 135 billion on costs for the NHS due to bad nutrition.
And now science is clearly showing the evidence between what you put into your body and
and your longevity.
And you can literally take 10 years of your life expectancy off if you kind of continuously eat bad food.
You've talked about the bliss point.
I read this, which is a combination of salt, sugar, and fat, which is, yeah, the sort of tempting stuff.
This is the hook they get us on, is it?
This is the hook.
People manufacture the bliss point to get you addicted and to massively overeat beyond the point where you should stop.
And in addition, the food we eat is full of additives.
If you go to the local supermarket and you look at stuff, oh my God, it's full of stuff that it shouldn't have in there.
And it's fundamentally bad for you.
And the additives are put there for what reason?
To extend shelf life, to make it tastier artificially, to be able to claim no sugar.
