The future of "food" in our supermarkets
Just read Sainsbury's "Future of food" and it fills me full of fear for the health of my children and grandchildren.
Encouraging the growth of fake food I believe is dangerous to public health and and to the cost of running the NHS.
The NHS as we all know is crippled with rising demand, long waiting lists, queues at ED and difficulty even talking to your GP.
This is not the fault of the people in the NHS, it is the population as whole are getting iller driving prevalence of chronic disease, which is the fire under the pot of NHS waiting lists.
50 years of "improving" the offer of food has driven the pandemic of Diabesity.
It has slowly crept up on us like frogs in increasingly hot water we failed to notice and act with panic.
This strategy does nothing to reverse metabolic ill health.
I (Through work with RediCare Control )with a number of other providers are turning the tide by reversing type 2 diabetes and preventing many others developing type 2 Diabetes using food as medicine.
Focusing on whole food, food as nature intended it.
All of us are getting remarkably similar results. (repeatable, predictable, sustainable and able to deliver at scale) with significant deprescribing and and not putting people on new medications with the implications of lifelong treatment.
Around 50% (ball park figure) can reverse their type 2 diabetes, 75% can be in a better place.
Lipid profiles improve, waist circumference shrinks, blood pressure drops, sleep apnoea disappears, and mental health improves- to name a few markers.
This strategy does not align with pressures on our health system.
