[Global Health Advocacy Incubator @IncubatorGHAI]

Our Food and Nutrition team is at @WPHNA's @Wphncongress this week, leading workshops on tax reform, leveraging research for policy change, advancing nutrition commitments without COI and lessons from Brazilian school food policies. #wphncongress2024

[World Public Health Nutrition Association @WPHNA]

@PhilBakerNZ, @acarriedo, @pattirundall, @sofrgp, Eric Crosbie, and Elizabeth Sterken what a great conversation about codex in @Wphncongress .

[Stuart Gillespie @StuartGillesp16]

Extremely useful and timely toolkit for assessing (and avoiding) conflicts of interest in food and nutrition research...great work by @K_Cullerton @martinwhite33 and colleagues

[Dr. Simón Barquera @SBarquera]

COs like #CocaCola & #Nestle received support from US & CH, to oppose implementation of Mexico's front-of-pack warning label at @WTO. An example of how corporations from the global north utilize UN to safeguard their economic interests against public health

While diabetes and obesity rates in America soar, the food and beverage industry spends billions on advertising to get consumers, including young children, hooked on their unhealthy products. This has got to stop. A good place to start? Banning junk food ads targeted at kids.

Excellent article on UPFs in the Washington Post with cool graphics

La aplicación de etiquetados de advertencia en alimentos no saludables en 7 países de LA, muestra evidencia preliminar de disminución en compras y reformulación de productos. Varios países más están en proceso de introducir esta medida. @1CINyS @SBarquera

[Dr. Simón Barquera @SBarquera]

Llamado a la #SCJN para defender el #etiquetadoclaro a nombre de @actuaporlasalud

Nuevamente las refresqueras y otras compañías de #comidachatarra intentando revocarlo. Un día dicen que no funciona y al siguiente quieren que se elimine.

[Jo Jewell @JoMJewell]

Important win for children & families in Brazil, where court orders @Nestle to stop cross-promotion between infant formula and so-called "growing up milks". Similar colours, packaging format, font & name suffixes are often used to get around bans on promotion of infant formula.

[Dr. Simón Barquera @SBarquera]

Strong evidence to prove international health & development organizations that @Nestle should NOT be seated in national or international committees for policy design.

@LauraVergeer Great work @LauraVergeer and team! Turns out that voluntary commitments from food companies, no matter how strong, had little impact on the overall nutritional quality of company portfolios. Bravo! 🌟🌟🌟

Bravo Transport for London 👏🇬🇧
After banning unhealthy food advertising, research has shown a real reduction in the amount of unhealthy food purchased. While an effective step for the UK, Australian kids continue to be bombarded by similar ads.

[Jane Martin @janemartinFHA]

Stopping junk food advertising on public transport in London has had a positive influence on what people eat.
Great leadership.
