General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Prof Kamila Hawthorne, chair of the Royal College of GPs (RCGP), said doctors were facing “moral distress” because of a limited ability to help.
The Guardian analysed rates of 25 conditions linked to poor nutrition, including vitamin and mineral deficiencies, scurvy, rickets and malnutrition.
Over the past decade, there was a steep increase across nearly all of the conditions, based on primary and secondary diagnosis in hospital patients in England and Wales.
Prof Sir Michael Marmot, of UCL, who led a landmark review into health inequalities, said that the figures, if representative of an underlying increase in illness, were “really shocking”.
And experts said this may explain increases in rarer deficiencies, such as vitamin A and thiamine, which are typically monitored in the growing population of bariatric surgery patients.
The link between hunger, food insecurity and health is complex, with some people simultaneously being overweight or obese and suffering deficiencies because of diets that are high calorie but lacking in essential nutrients.
