This is a past event

The food we eat is fuelling a mental health crisis as poor nutrition impacts how we feel. How does this impact social injustice and what are policymakers doing to address it?

Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) that are cheap, salty and sugary with zero nutrients, account for over 50% of our diets. Increasing evidence says that the food we eat is fuelling a mental health crisis as poor nutrition impacts on how we feel, our decision-making and aggressive impulses. How does this impact social injustice and what are policymakers and manufacturers doing to address it? Tickets for this event are available HERE.

This panel discussion on Cheap Food and Mental Health will be hosted by the Festival of Politics in partnership with the Rowett Institute and the University of Aberdeen
