Food politics barely feature in the UK election so far. They should. Food security (national & household) is a prime duty. So is the impact of food on health, economy & enviro. Why no Food Security & Resilience law? This interview I gave is now relevant: https://t.co/AOA5nnRHlT
It’s debate day in parliament for our #GetFairAboutFarming petition. We’ve brought 49 scarecrows with us, representing the 49% of farmers who fear they’ll go out of business in the next 12 months. Is this the day we start to see some seeds of change ? It couldn’t be more urgent🌱
This is what active allyship looks like. Ian saw the abuse and ignorant messages I received and spoke up about it. Great job and I hope people read this and think about how one can both change themselves but also create a more inclusive environment and culture around them.
This is a really useful thread. When you see 'news' stories claiming that ultra-processed food is actually really good for you after all, read them with a pinch of salt. The source is usually industry-funded. Cf. Ultra-Processed People by @DoctorChrisVT
Experts have warned that Britain's dependence on ultra-processed food will cause a "tidal wave" of illness, as new research finds it is linked to heart disease and high blood pressure
