"We need to come out the other side of this pandemic with a fresh outlook, and not simply go back to the old ways of heavily promoted, excessive portions of food that do nothing for our health." 👏👏

"The Coca-Cola Company's latest attempt to absolve itself of blame in the raging obesity epidemic among kids and teens worldwide has seen it launch a $10 a month subscription service called the Coca-Cola Insiders Club in the United States"

Again, why do we need special infant & toddler foods. Guidelines recommend that toddlers enjoy family foods. These can easily be chopped in the home if needed. Many processed fruit 'ingredients' consist mainly of just the fruit's sugar, without the protective dietary fibre.

[Boyd Swinburn @BoydSwinburn]

Fish is the main outlier, otherwise a healthy diet means a healthy planet. Planet/population studies like this pose a real challenge for people who believe in high meat diets on the basis of some benefits they have had individually https://t.co/9pC5aInRly

[Rosemary Stanton @rosestant70]

The time is ripe to consider the environmental effects as well as the health effects of every food we consume.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Fish eaters and vegetarians had 13% and 22% lower rates of ischaemic heart disease than meat eaters, respectively. But vegetarians and vegans had a higher risk of stroke than meat eaters, concludes this new study @tammy_tong et al https://t.co/MjRsD7cEcn
