Just in the UK that the economic cost is huge. Estimates what it costs the UK economy are somewhere between 90 billion and 200 billion pounds. The cost of treating people that get sick after eating these foods. Yeah. Health and social costs of people eating these ultra processed illness making foods. The companies are making huge profits. They're making 30, 40 billion euros a year profit in each country. I'm not about banning these foods, but it should be like cigarettes or alcohol, clearly labeled, you know what you're eating and there's a tax that pays for the health damage. Yeah, that seems to be a normal thing to ask for.
