The UK's growing addiction to unhealthy food costs 268bn a year, significantly burdening the NHS and indicating a dire need for food system reform.
The costs of trying to manage that sickness are rapidly becoming unpayable... 92bn covers direct government expenditures linked to illnesses from unhealthy diets.
The staggering 268bn figure implicates both direct healthcare costs and indirect costs like lost productivity, painting a grim picture of our food system's impact.
Prof. Tim Jackson remarked that this conservative estimate emphasizes the urgency for political action to address diet-related illness and the larger health crisis.
