Pod Bites: Priced out of healthy food

Imagine standing in a supermarket with a baby and a toddler and only a few pounds left in your account.

You need milk, nappies and want to give your family a nutritious dinner. You start to pick up fruit and veg off the shelves, but check the price and put them back.

For hundreds of thousands of families across the UK, that is not an occasional bad week - it's a regular experience, which is why we're leading a campaign of more than 100 organisations calling for the government to extend the Healthy Start scheme, as our Policy and Advocacy Manager Shona Goudie explains in our latest podcast.
