Multinationals such as Danone and Nestlé are profiting from the manufacture of ultra-processed foods while simultaneously investing in products to counter their effects, such as weight-loss drugs and medical food for diabetics. Obesity as a business model. ftm.eu/articles/obesi…

Our director Kat Jenner 🍽 Account Inactive on BBC Radio 4 Today with the fab Dev Sharma. Our ad industry is so successful because it innovates. 40yrs ago we saw ads for cigarettes, now it’s delivery companies. In the future, it will be healthier food! #AdEnough bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… (42:12)

Dr Chris van Tulleken: “We’ve not all got greedier & lazier over the last 30 years. Instead there has been a total failure to regulate the food companies who shape our food environment.” #BBCLauraK: “Is it really for gov…to tell what companies can put in [food]?” Dr C: “Argh!”

🔥'FOOD FIGHT' shows how our food system has warped into something that's making us (and our planet) sick. But its main focus is on how to turn things around. Out in April 2025 but open for pre-order here: buythebook.online/foodfight

Reminded of Prescott's hilarious appearance on Top Gear. Fearlessly goes up against the live audience to bat for the M4 bus lane.

Obesity is recognised as the single biggest driver of sickness. And yet proposals do not include tackling the food environment. 🤷 thetimes.com/article/1c9c45…

Today the UK Govt has announced a DELAY to the UK junk food advertising ban until next year… This delay isn’t just disappointing - it’s dangerous. As a young person growing up in today’s digital world, I don’t need another report to tell me junk food marketing fuels childhood

I’ve lived through the flood of junk food ads and now the government’s delayed action again. This isn’t just policy. It’s personal. Watch my take on why this delay is a betrayal and what it means for young people like me

At age 13, I spoke out about food injustice. 7 years later, Free School Meals are finally being extended to all kids on Universal Credit.🍏 This isn’t just a policy win - it’s a lifeline. Campaigning works. Justice is finally on the menu🍴
