03 Feb 2020 --- In order to address diet-related health inequalities in the UK, a systemic shift is needed, which includes recognizing the “Right to Food” in law. This is according to Sustain, a British agricultural alliance, in its response to the House of Lords Committee on Food, Poverty, Health and the Environment’s request for opinions. The Committee will then recommend changes to government policy to remedy health inequalities. Other UK organizations, including the Food Ethics Council and the Food Foundation, have also weighed in, with the Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) arguing that the government should make a business case for retailers to provide healthier foods.
