Hey, welcome to Not Just Politics where we get young voices heard. We've been away a while, and have heard many have missed us! So thank you for baring with us at NJP, and me (Jordyn) would love to say a personal thank you to everyone who has stuck with us throughout this time! This interview comes from the other side of the pond, with the founders of Grassroots App, which will soon be downloadable on Apple Store and Google Play.

This week I talk to Ben Barlow on the Conservative government's led new obesity strategy which includes: mandating calorie displays on menus, banning junk food adverts before 9pm, offering Weight Watchers discounts and ending discount deals on “unhealthy” foods and also making calories mandatory on food, which reflects the widely held misconception that weight loss can be achieved by restricting calories and fat. We answer questions such as: How do you think the public is reacting to the new strategy? Do you think this new strategy is a bit hypocritical because of eat out help out that also offers Big Mac for £1.60, a box of 20 McNuggets for £3? What do you think the impact of this new initiative will be psychologically?
