Articles like this piss me off. Not because it's a bad article, but because it's stuff we've known for ages. Especially the environment stuff. You can't say obesity costs the NHS and not fix the underlying problems. How can you justify processed food not being taxed to oblivion while allowing for price gauging of organic foods for example. The system is fucked!
