Great panel on #upf tonight #thefoodconversation . As per Rob upf isn't necessarily the problem but symptom. We need to address deeper illness of the food system & political economy that drives it. #food #health #nature must be politically salient during election.

Yesterday, supermarket execs were questioned by EFRA Committee on whether they were doing enough for struggling families & farmers amid a surge in profits.
