Nearly 60% of the UK’s diet is ultra-processed foods. In this episode of Lou Brown Talks, I sit down with Dr. Dolly van Tulleken, a nutrition advocate and policy consultant. From sustainable farming to her work at the Centre for Social Justice, Dolly exposes Britain’s food crisis—driven by cheap, unhealthy options and corporate influence.

Dolly proposes bold solutions: addressing policy conflicts, recognising ultra-processed foods as a health issue, and revamping school and hospital meals. We discuss affordability, the lack of public push for change, and a vision for a British food culture tied to local farming.
