Brilliant Food and the Future event at @Bromley_by_Bow Centre yesterday. The sun shone, people gathered and healthy food was discussed. It was great to hear of all that is going on in @TowerHamletsNow including the Fantastic Food in Schools Programme featuring @tastedfeed

@KitchenBee @jasorourke @HLFoodObesity @tastedfeed It could be argued that more people need to be more emotional about these issues. Brilliant job today!

[Zoe Griffiths RNutr @ZG_Nutrition]

New data from @Food_Foundation shows food insecure families are cutting back on healthy food. Of the households experiencing food insecurity, 60% said they were cutting back on buying fruit, 44% bought fewer vegetables and 59% less fish than normal. https://t.co/CFnmOknRmb

The @PeasPleaseUK #VegSummit promised to be a fun and interesting event and it delivered!

Loved the table displays (that became goody bags) from @growcomm.

Sadly didn’t get a pic of the Mariachi band, too busy chatting to fascinating ppl & enjoying the veggie mocktails!

[Fran Box @FranABox]

Engaging and important discussions around the provision of universal free school meals.

Providing #UFSM is the first very necessary part of puzzle. Beyond this we must think of all the factors, including #foodeducation, that can lead to healthy consumption of the food provided.

On Sunday it was the @wearegrow___ Pumpkin Time event. Pumpkins to pick and carve, pumpkin soup, pumpkin fancy dress and even the chickens were enjoying some pumpkin. A beautiful opportunity for adults and children alike to spend time outside and see how food is grown.

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals

@AlexRoseCharity 🎉 Amazing news, very well deserved.
