BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Olympic Trips, Ultra-Processed Food and New Build Problems

Olympic trips, ultra-processed food and new-build problems.

Why are around a million people per month abandoning ultra-processed foods?

With less than four months to go, anticipation is slowly building for the Paris Olympics. But what can visitors to the French capital expect this summer? 
The Independent’s Simon Calder gives us an insight into travel and accommodation ahead of one of the world’s biggest sporting events. 

Are we becoming more health-conscious consumers? With around an estimated one million people abandoning Ultra-Processed Foods (UPF) every month in the UK, we find out why our shopping habits are changing and how this might shape what’s on supermarket shelves.

Data from the Home Builders Federation shows that an increasing amount of people are unhappy with their new build homes. Our report Bob Walker heads to Oxfordshire to see this first hand and explore why people are hesitating when it comes to buying new builds.

Finally, is sustainable toilet roll as good for the planet as it claims? We look at a new report by Which? that examines its environmental credentials.
