Weighing In at Almost £100bn Per Annum!

The costs to the UK of its people being overweight, has reached almost £100bn per annum. Each year, it costs the affected people circa £63 bn, the National Health Service around £19bn and Society £15bn. It's totally false economy for the UK government to allow purveyors of unhealthy foods carte blanc to advertise and sell their products (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/dec/04/cost-of-people-being-overweight-in-uk-now-98bn-study-finds). UK folk actually spend more per annum on confectionery, than they do on fruit and vegetables! Healthy people means having an active workforce, with less illness and a reduction in the money having to be spent on medical interventions. The Food 'Industry', however, does make contributions to the party.
