"In many countries, buying food at supermarkets, convenience stores and online
has become the norm. But what’s the convenience of modern food shopping doing
to our health?
Our study, published today with colleagues from UNICEF, looked at how people in
97 countries shopped for groceries over 15 years.
Globally, we found a huge increase in the number of supermarkets and
convenience stores (which we’ll shorten to chain grocery stores in this
article). We also found people are spending more money in these stores and on
their online platforms.
But this has come at a cost to our health. People in countries with the most
chain grocery stores per person buy more unhealthy food and are more likely to
be obese.
Here’s why we’re so concerned about this public health disaster."
