Healthy food service changes more likely to be financially favourable or neutral than negative for business. 💰Great new review by @Shaan_Naughton and team! Check it out! 👀

New from RE-FRESH: Next Generation members @Shaan_Naughton Moosa Al Subhi @TaraBoelsenR @MirandaRBlake @JaithriA and Anna Peeters- the existing evidence doesn't show healthier food environments are more expensive or less profitable for retailers👇 https://t.co/yp6LPPS2Of

@fp_martino wonder if kids think these look like alcohol?

[Miranda Blake @MirandaRBlake]

'Liquid death' doesn't sound appealing to me...but if it gets Gen Z drinking water over sugary drinks & alcohol then maybe we could learn something about branding for health (or death?!) https://t.co/pkoiDsWqKt
