‘If all else fails, sue.’

This is an astounding new report.

We know that big food companies deliberately engineer and market unhealthy products so that we eat too much of them, too often.

And lots of you will have seen that this is why multiple lawsuits are beginning in the USA.

But what you probably didn’t realise is that it isn’t just people who are harmed by unhealthy food who are using the law.

The companies who make unhealthy food are doing it too. But on a MUCH bigger scale...🧵

“ For decades food companies have employed scientists to work out how to keep you eating without stopping long enough to remember you have a body...
…By contrast, the selling point of Magnum’s new ice-creams seems to be they will keep you laser-focused on your own body.”

A magnificent piece on ice cream in today’s @guardian by @kitty__drake - one of the best food articles I’ve read.

"At the show were also seven wholesalers selling chocolate bars, crisps, and sweets, one of which had a display stand full of bags of Walkers crisps, Lucozade, Mars bars, and Kit Kats, with a sign saying “Please help yourself.” Five ice cream firms were present, four soft drinks companies, and other suppliers that make items including pizzas and cake mixes and confectionery vending machines."

Incredible investigation of the UK’s biggest school food show by @bmj_latest with @BiteBack2030 - unhealthy food is very much on the menu for kids.

For years, London's children’s lungs lagged behind. Now they’re catching up.

A major new study shows the ULEZ cut exposure to toxic NO₂ and reduced impaired lung function from 14% to 9%.

Are you one of the 50% of people who take a supplement? Do you find the claims of the wellness industry confusing? @xandvt has spent the last 2 years investigating what works, what doesn't and what's really going on. Get SIGNED copies of Make Me Well: https://t.co/eALaQedNfB

This week's edition of The Media Show considers the media coverage of Jason Arday. We heard from Nick Clark, a childhood friend of Jason Arday. Our other guests were Charles Moore, Seun Matiluko, Sarah Ditum and Stephen Bush. https://t.co/nTVeXMNYs1

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

This stopped me in my tracks.

An independent study by @QMUL has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

Improved air quality in London in recent years has been associated with a measurable improvement in lung function among primary school children who live there, a new study concludes

How are we “corrupt” @stkirsch? That’s
a serious (and untrue) allegation. We also aren’t in “violation” of COPE guidelines. And, trusting the retracted literature is a bad and unsafe idea. I guess you got nothing right in this sensational post.

Strong country leadership is essential to achieving #HealthForAll.

That's why @WHO is building its new WHO Representative (WR) Talent Pipeline to identify and prepare the next generation of public health leaders to serve as WHO's most senior representatives at country level: https://t.co/kSLOElYCKT

We're looking for experienced public health leaders with strong international experience and a commitment to working with governments and partners across diverse country contexts.
