Really proud to have worked on this research & report with @childrensfood.bsky.social @sustainweb.org - please do share 👇👇👇

Finally!! Really hope Wales also makes this decision too www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Over 500 media figures have called on BBC to reinstate a documentary depicting civilian life in Gaza. I have just written to demand the BBC stops censoring Palestine with this new e-action. Join me & send yours today: palestinecampaign.eaction.online/BBC-stop-cen...

Commercial infant & toddler brands in the spotlight for healthwashing, misleading marketing & unnecessary sugars at Children’s Food Awards. Oh … and KFC too! www.sustainweb.org/news/feb25-k...

Health Secretary Wes Streeting is fed up of being lobbied apparently. Oh, but wait. Not annoyed by unhealthy BigFood lobby, no. But by charities like Royal #Osteoporosis doing their job to advocate policies to support public health. Seriously? www.civilsociety.co.uk/news/sector-...

Thank you Ellie. Wondering if there are any brave (ex-)air industry or fuel industry souls out there who will step up & agree that sustainable aviation is an oxymoron.

Fruitful start to the year! @victoriagilbert.bsky.social & @barbscrowther.bsky.social were at the Transforming UK Food Systems conference this week, meeting w/inspiring people and running a workshop on using research to drive change. Thanks to @hannahbrins.bsky.social for sharing insights too!

Another council writing off school meal debts. Evaluation of London universal primary meals programme by @cpaguk.bsky.social & ReconnectLondon for @impurbanhealth.bsky.social showed positive impact in improving parent-school relationships on this topic too. uk.news.yahoo.com/aberdeen-cit...

My investigation for @bmj.com uncovering the influence of the food industry in schools. Experts say there should be much greater scrutiny. www.bmj.com/content/387/...

This is joyous 😍

Right 👍

Some media outlets today are headlining #HFSS ad restrictions like totally new news. Let’s remember it was: - proposed in 2018 obesity strategy - consulted on in several stages since 2019 - passed in primary legislation in April 2022 under last govt. Roll on Oct 2025 😁 www.gov.uk/government/n...

Today is #JustFriday. No particular colour. No special deals or conspicuous consumerism. No American tropes or turkeys. That’s it 😁 As you were.

Really important points being made abt conflicts of interest & research backed by food industry & their interests. I remember well this #UltraProcessedFoods story being cited at #IBResearch conference by @doctorchrisVT & my old Twitter thread is still available here: x.com/barbscrowthe...

Bravo @barbscrowther.bsky.social for highlighting the need to regulate #marketing of commercial formula milks & baby foods & enable #breastfeeding to rebalance diets away from #UltraProcessedFood #IBResearch @sustainweb.org

Excited to be speaking later today at the @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social conference today on #UltraProcessedFood - the scope for government action. Looking forward to a lively day of debate! #IBResearch

What an extraordinary report (and cover!) from @henrydimbleby.bsky.social & @dollyvantulleken.bsky.social interviewing 3 former PMs, 1 deputy PM, 6 health secretaries. The conclusion? We have to regulate the food industry better! Bravo alll & @nestauk.bsky.social media.nesta.org.uk/documents/No...

Great piece on salt in @guardian.com incl comment from my @sustainweb.org colleague Kate on 85% of salt we consume being already hidden in food when we buy it - this is why our #RecipeforChange campaign wants expansion of unhealthy food levies www.theguardian.com/food/2024/no...

🤬 But LOVE the picture - not a single Smartie in sight! That wd deffo be a recommended portion size for children - photographers take note & submit pics to Getty accordingly! 🤣🤣🤣@harryrutter.bsky.social PS Nestle reckon it’s 1/2 small tube or 16 smarties. A full tube = 22.8g sugar.

Great thread here from @hannahbrins.bsky.social - worth a follow! So proud of the work we’re doing together on food taxes & health via Recipe for Change led by @sustainweb.org @foodfoundation.bsky.social @oha-updates.bsky.social @impurbanhealth.bsky.social & now 46 orgs strong!

Fantastic to see multiple benefits of @london.gov.uk primary free school meals - children trying new foods, reduction in family stress & not having to chase dinner money debts is a massive relief for schools too. Read my comment on @sustainweb.org www.sustainweb.org/news/nov24-l...

ICYMI Chris van Tulleken & Maxine Palmer of #NCT responding to the CMA market infant & follow-on #formula interim study report on Sat morn BBC R4 Today www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... from 1.45 mins. Fantastically clear @foodfoundation.bsky.social @barbscrowther.bsky.social @oha-updates.bsky.social
