Decolonising research, advocacy and public policy on healthy diets

Large, global commercial actors fuel every region of our world with ultra-processed products and other unhealthy commodities Ultra-processed products are extremely profitable for food companies and are aggressively marketed to children, women, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), amongst other groups With markets saturated in high-income countries, food companies also penetrate low-and middle-income countries Yet, there is ample evidence that the consumption of ultra-processed products leads to ill-health and deepens inequities Ultra-processed and other unhealthy products therefore have a disproportionate effect on poor people and other groups targeted by the food industry.
