“PepsiCo, whose prices for its drinks and chips were up 17 percent in the latest quarter from year-earlier levels, reported that its third-quarter profit grew more than 20 percent…Coca-Cola reported profit up 14 percent from a year earlier.” https://t.co/LeAZyadMSj

I already knew feeding a 5y healthy food at school was hard, but I never accounted for the time factor. She gets so little time to eat, and she can't open packages well or chew quickly. n/1

Climate change is impacting food systems in so many ways…”[freezers] hold a winter’s supply of wild food to offset the high cost of groceries flown in by plane. Freezers preserve generations-old harvest practices and underpin delicate village economies.” https://t.co/Ml1lvXCYhH

Fascinating!!

Wow: "The SNAP-Ed program, which aims to educate food insecure individuals about healthy eating on a budget, pays its employees poorly — so poorly that they often experience food insecurity themselves or work second jobs."

Great reporting @DanaHCronin: https://t.co/1PijDxfc7s

Today the UN launches #SOFI2022 centering on the Cost and Affordability of a Healthy Diet, our indicators from #FoodPricesforNutrition. Overjoyed to hear the world talking about how to "repurpose food and ag policies to make healthy diets more affordable"! https://t.co/4DEWsG3TDF
