Healthy Eating

The time around Christmas and New Year is the filled with traditions; and few as solid as the tradition of over-eating followed by a (short lived) commitment to leading a healthier life.

In that spirit I have conducted a short analysis of who in the UK are considered the most influential authorities on “healthy eating”.

The table below lists the top 20 influencers on “healthy eating” in the UK.



We can see that the Food Standard Agency and the Department for Education and Skills are equally influential. They are fairly closely followed by the BBC who is the most popular stakeholder of the issue.


(Popularity is measured on a scale from 0 to 100. Influence on a linear scale from 1 and upwards. The “Rel. Influence” measure is how the actual influence of the stakeholder compares to the influence we should expect given the stakeholder’s popularity.)
