[Bite Back @BiteBack2030]

Shout out to Rosie and Pluto for hosting an excellent meeting with @_OliviaBlake from #SheffieldHallam!

With a history of shining a light on food inequalities, it’s no surprise that she was incredibly supportive of us and our campaigns 🙌

Great to have another MP on side 💪

Say hi to Pluto 👋 age 16, from Sheffield.

They want the food industry to take responsibility for their actions — making cheap, unhealthy food the spotlight of the industry.

In 2023 they will be campaigning to put delicious, healthy food in Sheffield's public spaces. Go Pluto🙌
