The Government has just announced its new Obesity Strategy with a number of policies designed to promote healthier lifestyles, provide advice on weight loss and offer weight management programmes on the NHS. What is still missing, though, is a strategy to teach people to cook healthy, nutritious meals for themselves and their families.
I wrote a piece for CapX, Centre for Policy Studies about a fantastic model that could be expanded, which would not only help people access healthy food, but also stop millions of tonnes of foods heading for landfill – and all at a pretty low cost.
