🌍 As #COP29 gets underway we're calling for bold action from government's on food systems transformation!

In order to tackle #climatechange and meet #NetZero targets there needs to be a clear strategy for reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions #GHGEs within the food system.

New analysis: it is possible and affordable to halve obesity by the end of the decade, if governments implement the most effective high impact, low cost solutions.

The new #Darzi report shows that children from most deprived backgrounds are now 2x as likely to have obesity by age 5, & 1 in 3 has obesity by age 11 in the poorest communities.

We need to do so much more to improve affordability, availability and appeal of healthier food.

[Obesity Health Alliance - Account Inactive @OHA_updates]

Incredible investigation by @GeorgeGreenwood @thetimes reveals how many fast food restaurants are deliberately targeting schools in England and Wales.

In Tower Hamlets, as many as 10 outlets within 400m of some schools, setting children up for an unhealthy life.

Multinationals such as Danone and Nestlé are profiting from the manufacture of ultra-processed foods while simultaneously investing in products to counter their effects, such as weight-loss drugs and medical food for diabetics. Obesity as a business model.
