Public health is still a low priority for gov't -despite overwhelming evidence of #obesity and #foodenvironment harm

Problems with affording and accessing #healthy #diet increasing #BrokenPlate2022

What does political paralysis mean for a food and drink industry facing soaring inflation and a cost of living crisis, and how could key policies change under a new PM?

Exciting launch of @WHO draft guideline on use of non-sugar #sweeteners last Friday. Key remarks below. Bottom line is that it's best to avoid #sweeteners by basing diets on unprocessed & minimally processed foods...

@1stepsnutrition @DHSCgovuk @1stepsnutrition @DHSCgovuk 100% this needs attention. We are developing a NPM to assess nutritional and promotional appropriateness of babyfoods https://t.co/HcabGXMBAO

@marcus_baw @astronomyblog @ODILeeds Was a great debate. Looking forward to more collab soon 😀

[Ali Morpeth RNutr @AliMorpeth]

Making the healthier choice the available choice is a good step forward #NationalFoodStrategy BUT will not address the social determinants of health (including #obesity)

[Ali Morpeth RNutr @AliMorpeth]

Creating a #salt and #sugar tax as part of #nationalfoodstrategy pushes food manufacturers to reformulate their products - placing some of the responsibility for health on the people who make our food rather than consumers

[Ali Morpeth RNutr @AliMorpeth]

@JanetCade @Ilkleyviolin @foodfoundation new report really important insights to be addressed via schools - will dig out and send you @ilkleyviolin

[Ali Morpeth RNutr @AliMorpeth]

@marcus_baw I know. Also the idea that a prescription will lead to wide spread behaviour change is not robust, is it? I have not seen any evidence to back this up

[Ali Morpeth RNutr @AliMorpeth]

More than 50% of +45 year olds have diet related health conditions.

What do you think - should sugar and salt be taxed in the same way as alcohol and cigarettes?

[Ali Morpeth RNutr @AliMorpeth]

@marcus_baw @EFF @PubMoneyPubCode Hmmmm I find this quite disturbing. As someone who has worked on research projects funded by food manufacturers I can conclude the vested interest always comes first
