Dr Chris Van Tulleken's new book, Ultra-Processed People: Why do we all eat stuff that isn’t food, untangles our relationship with fast food, bad food and maybe even your breakfast.

The poet and artist Frieda Hughes, daughter of famed Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, has written about her experiences saving a wild Magpie, George, and why she now lives with 14 owls, two huskies, a Maltese terrier, five chinchillas, a ferret called 'Socks', a Royal python and her collection of motorbikes.

Artist and animator Gary Andrews has worked for Disney and brought Fireman Sam to life - but possibly his most powerful work was created whilst he illustrated his way through the grief of loosing his wife.

Alex Jones, broadcaster and host of The One Show and Reunion Hotel, shares her Inheritance Tracks.

Presenters: Nikki Bedi and Peter Curran

Producer: Ben Mitchell

Details of support with eating disorders is available at BBC Action Line: www.bbc.co.uk/actionline
