Food Fight

This week we’re rerunning one of our most talked-about conversations. What are ultra-processed foods really doing to our health, our kids and our food culture?

In this powerful episode, AJ Sharp sits down with Dr Dolly van Tulleken to unpack the rise of UPFs and the complex mix of politics, marketing and industry influence that keeps them on our plates.

Dolly shares her journey into food policy, reveals how decisions are shaped behind closed doors and challenges the cultural norms that disconnect us from real food. From school meals to supermarket shelves, this conversation explores how the system really works, why change is so difficult and what needs to happen next.
