I'm tweeting from Gadigal land this week & would like to acknowledge the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, & pay my respects to elders both past & present

The status quo is not delivering the future we want.
How can we, as researchers [& advocates], contribute to reimagining food governance?

“Alcohol is a colonial tool with devastating effects”

Amazing presentation by K. Maynard & C. Bruce on indigenous rights & alcohol policies in NZ, and how Māori experience a disproportionate amount of alcohol-related harm & how alcohol helped to facilitate land alienation…

Never before has it felt this important for kids to get a good school lunch as in Hawke’s Bay right now. Here’s what HB students and whānau said about the first 2 years of meals in their schools #preprint on @researchsquare https://t.co/tpEvEbaxTb #CycloneGabrielle #foodsecurity

Thanks to @wcrfint @KOldridgeTurner and all the participants for supporting this research

@BoydSwinburn thanks for the PhD supervision

[Fi Sing @fi_sing]

🚨 This paper came from the work @KBackholer and I have done with UNICEF and WHO over the last three years helping Member States design robust laws to regulate harmful marketing

🎉 It is also the last chapter of my PhD which I submitted in Dec last year.

[Fi Sing @fi_sing]

Loved working on this survey with @katherineshats and @KBackholer for UNICEF.

Great access to policymakers on the ground struggling to get marketing controls in place to restrict children's exposure to unhealthy food marketing

+ robust response rate

= interesting insights

[Kathy Shats @katherineshats]

New survey on barriers governments face when trying to regulate junk food marketing - no surprise industry interference is a major one! https://t.co/yPJBobSJBu

I really needed this today. Read this thread to see a UK Court upholding the Govts right to introduce public health nutrition measures and tell Kelloggs where to go.

Kelloggs claims about nutrient profile model 'drop-kicked into the stands by Justice Linden' @JimBethell

[Lord Bethell @JimBethell]

The @KelloggsUKI junk food court victory is a *stonker*.
Industry efforts to overturn the whole basis of nutrition measurement drop-kicked into the stands by Mr Justice Linden.
I've never read a judgement like it.
Junk food industry shd be ashamed.
Here's a few highlights. 1/🧵

Loving seeing Mana Kai framework presented at #FoodGovernance2021 by Fiona Wiremu and Rāwiri Tinirau

[Belinda Reeve @BelindaReeve]

The role of the private sector in the #UNFSS2021 isn’t settled. But it’s really at the country level that we’ll need to deal with the practical implications of commercial involvement in food system governance - @NamukoloC #FoodGovernance2021
