2 w. ago It’s time to stop the great food heist powered by big business. That means taxation, regulation and healthy school meals | Stuart Gillespie

The global food system has been captured by a few rapacious companies that profit from public ill-health. We need a radical overhaulOur food system is killing us. Designed in a different century for a different purpose – to mass produce cheap calories to prevent famine – it is now a source of jeopardy, destroying more than it creates. A quarter of all adult deaths globally – more than 12 million every year – are due to poor diets.Malnutrition in all its forms – undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, overweight and obesity – is by far the biggest cause of ill-health, affecting one in three people on the planet.
