Today we join others in calling on the Government to introduce auto-enrolment of Free School Meals (FSM) to all who need them via the upcoming #ChildrensWellbeingBill

FSM help to reduce obesity and health inequalities & lead to improved longer term health.👇🏽

🔥 Obesity isn’t your fault. Since the 1970s, obesity rates increased in each sex, age, ethnicity, and region. We didn't simultaneously developed character flaws & moral failings. Something happened to us & *some* more than others. Let me explain. #ObesityScience

[Michael Mindrum, MD @MichaelMindrum]

🔥 Obesity is not a behavior. Let that sink in. It’s not about eating too much, exercising too little, or lacking willpower. It’s a chronic, complex condition driven by biology, environment, and genetics—not simple “choices.” Let me explain. 1/10

And we’re already citing this article within our own research.

Stop forcing neurodivergent kids to make eye contact.

Stop forcing neurodivergent kids to sit still.

Stop forcing neurodivergent kids to sit ‘normally’.

Stop forcing neurodivergent kids to endure situations which harm them.

[Jo Howe @DrJoHowe]

@Aston_Pharmacy did so well at the @CMHPCommunity awards last night #CMHP24 congratulations to all award winners

[Jo Howe @DrJoHowe]

@DrBenkwitz Super interested in this!

[Jo Howe @DrJoHowe]

@Macfarlanes25 @SarahJPharm @Hafsah_Habib Stigma is definitely a factor IMO but also I think the “confidence” issue needs exploring - I think if you dig beneath the surface it’s going to be more complex and nuanced.

[Jo Howe @DrJoHowe]

@SarahJPharm @Macfarlanes25 @Hafsah_Habib There is no justifiable explanation Issues such as confidence, skills &knowledge r frequently raised w me as reasons 4 not discussing side effects alongside fear that it will lead to non-adherence -I feel this approach would not be tolerated in other areas of healthcare #CMHP24

[Jo Howe @DrJoHowe]

@Macfarlanes25 @SarahJPharm @Hafsah_Habib Absolutely and this is the message that comes across strongly in our current research - clinicians are concerned that informing about side effects leads to non adherence - yet helping them to understand and cope with side effects can increase adherence

@Macfarlanes25 @Hafsah_Habib @NIHR @PharMED_ @Prof_Ian_M @RichardKeers I think that is really important for people to know. We need to know that what we are doing is driving positive change - we want to improve things so let’s get it right from the beginning!
