Well said @FilippoBerio! @veganuary is also an advertising opportunity for many food companies.
By the way, now I want now is a spaghetto aglio & olio!

[Filippo Berio @FilippoBerio]

It may surprise you to know that many famous Italian recipes are, in fact, vegan – favourites such as focaccia, bruschetta, pizza marinara, pasta alla norma & aglio e olio! Check out some of our #Vegan recipes to kick start your @veganuary: https://t.co/9xjyzgMhJR

We are outraged by - and strongly condemn - the unethical actions of the government in delaying restrictions on advertising of unhealthy food to 2025.
Here is a reminder of why these policies are VITAL #AttackOnHealth🧵

Thanks to the @assvegpt for inviting me to talk about alternative protein at the first edition of the Legumina Conference. Lisbon is a very vegan-friendly city with lots of veg restaurants and shops. I even had vegan pasteis de nata!

Excess sugar consumption is damaging to human, environmental and economic health.

A report published this #SugarAwarenessWeek from @actiononsugar makes recommendations for a comprehensive & mandatory programme to reduce sugar levels in manufactured foods https://t.co/5WXPC9CXez

Giving your little one these snacks is so easy and convenient.... but as parents, we should think twice and consider the long-term effects of sugar consumption on health. Fresh fruit is a better alternative! #SugarAwarenessWeek

[Action on Salt and Sugar @ActionSaltSugar]

.@EllasKitchenUK and @HiPPOrganic products rank the highest sugar per portion and have misleading health claims making parents think that the products are healthier than they really are #SugarAwarenessWeek

To mark #SugarAwarenessWeek, we hear from Zoe Davies from @actiononsugar to explore the findings from their latest research into the nutritional content and packaging of baby and toddler breakfast items 👶🥣

'It's a scandal that certain food companies are being allowed to peddle their high sugar products to parents with very young children — despite being aware that babies and toddlers shouldn't be having any added at all." @actiononsugar

[Action on Salt and Sugar @ActionSaltSugar]

In today's new report, we call on government to commit to sugar reduction & implement a comprehensive & mandatory programme to drive the food industry to reduce sugar - for better human, environmental and economic health. https://t.co/IucWe2ABBf #SugarAwarenessWeek

@TobiasLeenaert The problem is the word vegetarian. How about "chicken or....crunchy tofu stir-fry or...creamy lentil Bolognese pasta"

[Roberta Alessandrini @RobertaNutr]

@thinkvegande @HappyCow Thank you for sharing :-)

[Action on Salt and Sugar @ActionSaltSugar]

Despite such shockingly high sugar levels overall, the sugar content does vary amongst 'on the go' sweet snacks showing products can be made with far less sugar and sold in smaller portion sizes. These products have limited front of pack labelling too https://t.co/PLd1qLBEtQ

[Action on Salt and Sugar @ActionSaltSugar]

A ring doughnut can be made with 1 teaspoon of sugar with the same portion size showing that the high sugar content is unnecessary #sugarreductionprogramme https://t.co/PLd1qLk3Ci
