British people are fatter and sicker than people in most other rich nations. That's down to our food system, argues Henry Dimbleby in his new book Ravenous, co-authored with Jemima Lewis. In this episode, Lewis Bassett speaks to Henry about his book, covering everything from why exercise won't help you lose weight to how what we eat is a leading cause of climate change to why food companies are helpless to create the kind of food system we all need to stay alive.

Henry Dimbleby is the co-founder of the restaurant chain LEON and author of the government initiated National Food Strategy. He is also a co-founder of Chefs in Schools.
