Previously when posting I would talk about allergy, gardening, cooking, and Parkinson’s, which my mother suffers from. But when watching a population that is 50% children being deliberately starved & carpet bombed, I struggle to post anything. The headline - what every fibre of my being feels.

So much important information here. ‘of the approx 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult.’ ‘10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening.’

🚨 Following last night's BBC Panorama expose on baby food pouches we can reveal: 🔹 An average of 20 promotional claims are made on packaging of foods aimed at babies and toddlers. 🔹 In some cases up to 43 claims were made on a single product! Learn more: tinyurl.com/3we7d2jk #BBCPanorama

Feeling loved. Was banished this afternoon while my not so little boy put together chocolate, cardamom and tiramisu cake and made arancini for an early birthday dinner. #glutenfree #milkfree 🥰

Well, the flapjacks I made before the kids came home at 7 aren’t going to last the week (or even the night!). Teenage boys are bottomless eating machines! 😂

Bravo @foodfoundation.bsky.social - another fab Broken Plate report, incl shocking analysis on baby/toddler snacks: 74% with front of pack claims high/med levels of sugar compared to adult recs. Av 6 claims per product! & 94% of claims not permitted by WHO marketing guidelines.

Trump just ripped away Medicaid from millions of Americans. This could get people killed.
