Introduction
Good nutrition is vital to maintaining good health. Whilst many people have healthy diets, a large number do not, particularly among the some disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. Indeed a significant proportion of the population consumes more than the recommended amount of fat, saturated fat, salt and sugar. Such poor nutrition is a major cause of ill health and premature death in England.
The East Midlands Public Health Observatory has the national lead for food and nutrition: www.empho.org.uk
