Why Tim Spector wants to bring back the nanny state

The Story

Available for over a year

The government should treat ultra-processed foods like cigarettes and alcohol - and bring in higher taxes on the companies that make them, says Professor Tim Spector. Labour has declared war on junk food as part of a drive to save the NHS by shifting from ""sickness to prevention"" but with our love of unhealthy eating costing us an estimated £286bn a year - will it be bold enough? Host: Luke Jones. Guest: Tim Spector, Professor of Epidemiology and co-founder of science and nutrition company ZOE. Clips: British Government / OstreFoczki / YouTube / Huntley Archives, Âé¶¹Éç, Channel 4. This podcast has been acquired by the Âé¶¹Éç.
