Some fantastic contributors in this report. Great to see the food environment and industry influence taking centre stage. Hopefully we finally see a strategy/plan/framework materialise into action.

Using the word "sin" makes me cringe, especially in any reference to food. I mean, hello moral judgment, guilt, shame, and struggles with body image and disordered eating 🫠

[1/2] We know ads influence how much junk food we eat.

We know eating unhealthy food is linked to avoidable disease inc many cancers, respiratory, heart disease & mental health disorders.

Restricting ads will help⬇️the no. of people experiencing & dying from these diseases.

Deeply concerning & disappointing that Smashed, a school-based programme funded by multinational alcoholic beverage company Diageo, is being allowed to tour schools in Wales ⬇️

If we want to build a healthier future for the next generation, we must see child nutrition as a long-term priority that affects everyone.

We've joined leading health organisations calling for all UK primary school children to receive free school meals 🖊️

[First Steps Nutrition Trust @1stepsnutrition]

Really disturbed to see this in @Tesco yesterday. These sugary / ultra processed products are not good choices for growing children’s school snacks or lunch boxes. Get with the times please Tesco! @OHA_updates @Food_Foundation

[Christus Ferneyhough @ChristusF]

@ProfKarolSikora It's naive to assume that people make decisions in a vacuum, free from the persuasive tactics of corps that profit from those very habits. Look around. How much advertising do you see for junk food, alc, gam etc? Edu, although important, doesn't outweigh corp and enviro influence

[Christus Ferneyhough @ChristusF]

@phupnorth I often struggle with books, so I'm keen to see what people suggest. I did enjoy Bad Science and The Health Gap, perhaps because I managed to get to the end!

The announcement in today's #KingsSpeech to restrict junk food advertising and the sale of energy drinks is very welcome and comes at a time when rates of obesity and malnutrition in children & young people are rising.
