"Link Between Unhealthy UK Eateries and Deprived Areas Revealed"

A study from the University of Cambridge found that restaurants and takeaways with the unhealthiest menus are more likely to be located in deprived areas, while tourist hotspots have the healthiest food outlets. The research, which examined menus from almost 55,000 food outlets, revealed a clear link between menu healthiness and levels of deprivation. The study also highlighted the "double burden" faced by people in deprived areas, where they have more food outlets but also less healthy options. This contributes to health inequalities in the UK, particularly for individuals in lower socioeconomic positions.
