💪 Citizens in #TheFoodConversation want businesses help to account, so that profit doesn’t come before people or planet. Our report with @timjackson.org.uk shows Big Food is a false economy, with unhealthy food costing £268bn every year – almost equivalent to the total annual UK healthcare spend.

🎧 Great episode on Big Food & the power these companies wield in our society.

🧩 As @bmj.com's Jennifer Richardson says: Big Food has an industry playbook they use to delay or water down legislation and protect shareholder profit – from corporate social responsibility spin to regulatory loopholes.
