[Prof. Emma Boyland @EmmaBoyland]

📢 our latest paper: food marketing exposures associated with hunger and craving in adults, largely category specific (fast food ads -> fast food craving). Nice to use EMA in this space too, a useful tool for real world assessments.

“Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders is a decline over decades in opportunities for children & teens to play, roam, & engage in other activities independent of direct oversight & control by adults.”

Connected to city design.

We're calling for food companies to increase the amount of marketing and advertising spend on #healthy and #sustainable food.

"Supermarkets in England 'blatantly disregarding' rules over where they place crisps, sweets and fizzy drinks" 1/4 of 25 stores visited by @OHA_updates @food_active are still putting 'less healthy' foods in prominent locations https://t.co/bBoDl8I7Oh

Sleeping on the streets is NOT a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes, rents are soaring and this is leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough.
This is a consequence of poverty. And poverty in this country has been exacerbated by policy choices

Fantastic to see the new Govan to Partick bridge starting to take place. Exciting times

[Henry Dimbleby @HenryDimbleby]

Kinder find a way around bans on aisle end displays. Create an aisle end in-aisle. At children's eye level. Nice work @ferarrouk. Their public position on advertising to children: we market "primarily to adults" and to "young people 12 years or over."

[Bite Back @BiteBack2030]

We're surrounded by junk food. Every day we’re targeted. On our phones, our streets, even when we're walking our dogs 🐶

All at a time when the future health of nearly 1 in 3 children is at risk from food-related illness.

A smart urban street tree canopy shouldn’t just be considered urban infrastructure… given all the many public interests supported by urban trees, they should be considered ESSENTIAL infrastructure. HT @davidlois_UNED for the graphic.

[Obesity Health Alliance - Account Inactive @OHA_updates]

So important for policy-makers to understand.

Although education has a part to play in any interventions that aim to improve health and reduce obesity, behaviour is influenced by a wide variety of factors with many of these outside of an individual's control.
