Wonderful TastEd lesson with our Washingborough FS2 children this morning focusing of Touch: Outside & Inside #FoodEducation Food for Life Department for Education SchoolFood4Change The Food Programme Tim Spector MD (Prof) Chris van Tulleken 🏳️‍🌈 Bee Wilson

Totally agree with Henry Dimbleby saying that the introduction of Universal Free School Meals will change the culture in schools. This investment in our children’s health & well-being will not only bring benefits to them as individuals but also to our future society.

Food literacy, like actual literacy, should be a universal right. It’s not ok that children are leaving school never having tasted, let alone learned to like, an apple or a carrot. I wrote about TastEd for this excellent new policy edition of Vittles

The Soil Association's Rob Percival said it well! 👏Looking forward to this Thursday's committee with one of our founders Bee Wilson to continue the conversation.

TastEd Founder Bee Wilson will be giving evidence to the House of Lords Food, Diet and Obesity Committee at 11.30am today alongside ChefsinSchools, School Food Matters & LACA We're looking forward to being part of an important conversation about the role of food in schools. Watch here 👇committees.parliament.uk/event/20596/fo…

The main thing we asked for was an overhaul of the food education curriculum to give children a grounding in food literacy, with taste education as well as cooking graded to each year. It’s not o.k. that children are leaving school without so much as touching a tomato. 🍅

The part I totally failed to say, even though it was at the top of page 1 of my notes and ⁦Fran Box⁩ had kindly briefed me with the latest figures was that TastEd (⁦TastEd⁩) now has more than 1000 schools and nurseries signed up! 771 schools & 471 nurseries.

I am so proud and honoured to work alongside Bee Wilson in the work we do with TastEd. Bee spoke so passionately about the untapped potential of schools to positively improve children’s physical & mental wellbeing and to experience pleasure from healthy food. #FoodEducation

It's an honour on this #IWD24 to celebrate the incredible TastEd founder Bee Wilson who spoke passionately to the House of Lords Food, Diet and Obesity Committee yesterday. Let's be ambitious... Department For UnEducation "We need a complete overhaul of the food education curriculum in England"
