    I'm not quite sure what you are saying. Obviously (I suppose) that 2.6bn is included in the 67.5bn. There are many other factors in costs to the NHS caused by bad diet as well. Too much sugars, salt, saturated fats and especially processed foods, as well as many others - all of which would be OK in moderation. These cause problems such as Diabetes, obesity, problems with arteries etc.

    It is not too difficult to eat more healthily as good foods such as fruit and veg are not expensive. I never did understand the argument of lack of time as an excuse. I think it is a combination of lack of education in cooking and nutrition added to lack of confidence plus some other factors.
