[ZERO Malnutrition @ZeroMalnutrtion]

Totally agree. Technical experts and #consumers see the problem differently. We need to understand what consumers value and then work to create and deliver that.

[Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) @GlobalLF]

To shift diets, we need to stop being so left-brained. We need to figure out what people really care about and then link health to that. That’s the right-brained part. That’s what you have to tap into.

#Covid19 - Au #Benin, Respecter l'obligation de rester à la maison est très difficile, car il faut gagner de l'argent pour pouvoir manger au jour le jour. Les populations ont du mal à respecter les restrictions. @josherbert25 #covid19foodfuture

No longer only a high-income country or 'rich people' problem #Obesity

[Jo Jewell @JoMJewell]

Low-income communities often have "good access to bad food & bad access to good food". A vicious combination of barriers prevent healthy eating. Listening to people who experience the barriers can help identify impactful solutions #WorldObesityDay: https://t.co/Gxvn5DFqWi

What makes up a good diet for infants and young children? So much more than just food!

Our research on consumption of commercial snack foods by young kids in Africa and Asia is cited in UNICEF's new programming guidance on improving complementary feeding https://t.co/FsvgdTz3f9

[Joel Spicer @JoelCSpicer]

2020 is a big year for nutrition. Despite progress, I've never been more concerned about its future as a global priority. It’s time to ring the alarm bell on the #WHA global nutrition targets. #N4G #investinnutrition

.@DrTedros #ShareWithTedros malnutrition in all its forms is BY FAR the biggest health risk in every single country, yet the global response is v weak. #healthydiets are a #humanrights issue https://t.co/xTUHEdXSI6. @WHO needs to be centre stage for UN Summit on food systems 2021

[Saskia Osendarp @OsendpNutrition]

We need to think about nutrition as an investment issue. Change the language: we are building human capital. We need to talk to ministries of finance and ensure results with good data. @meerashekar_wb @WorldBank on the final day of #SUNGG19

The humble Egg🥚...nature's #nutrition pocket powerhouse!
13 vitamins, 11 minerals, all 9 essential amino acids, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids and 2 carotenoids all in one egg! That's why we want more kids eating them😋
