My generation has betrayed today's children, and betrayed those yet to be born. Now is the time to make amends. Now is the time to support those striking against our neglect.

@BrunoDietitian @PENGDT @BDA_Dietitians Great news, Bruno. The wait is almost over.

[Ben Goldacre @bengoldacre]

"Throw out your books" captures the very essence of puritanical, dead-inside, "No Clutter" fascism. Take a lovely picture of your perfect, featureless life. I will suffer your existence on this earth but we can never be friends. Viva clutter. Viva 1500 half-read books. Viva viva.

[LizWeekes @WeekesLiz]

@ProfHurst @UCLRespiratory @abdulelahinter Congratulations on recruiting your first subject however it is worth remembering that nutrition is always more than simply protein supplementation.

[LizWeekes @WeekesLiz]

@DrPFCollins @NICEcomms @ProfHurst I too contributed to the @BDA_Dietitians response to this guideline - deeply disappointed at the lack recognition of the crucial role of malnutrition in this condition. Shows yet again that guidelines are only as good as the evidence they include - read all guidelines critically

[Malnutrition TF @MalnutritionTF]

New research from @RoyalVolService shows 1 in 5 over-70s eat most meals alone and 1 in 10 said they regularly skip meals.

Lunch clubs are a great way to reduce loneliness and the risk of malnutrition. Read on to see how you can help 👇

Thank you Bruno and the RNG for inviting me to speak at your study day today. A perfect opportunity to find out how our new requirements chapter in the PENG Pocket Guide might be used by specialist dietitians.
