New #BMJInvestigation reveals widespread influence of food and drink brands in schools and nurseries—through breakfast clubs, nutrition guidance, and healthy eating campaigns.
Experts say the tactics require much greater scrutiny and pushback

I appreciated the opportunity to give evidence to the committee on the impact of food marketing on children's eating behaviour. Good to see strong recommendations for legislation, including action on promotional characters, outdoor advertising, and sports sponsorship of HFSS.
📢 The Government urgently needs a plan to fix our broken food system 🛠️🍽️ and end the public health emergency 🚨 of unhealthy diets and obesity.
This is the key conclusion of our new report, out today. 📝

Powerful statement also on the importance of ensuring industry are not engaged by Govt in the policy development process, only in its practical application. Love the quote from @DoctorChrisVT that "you cannot simultaneously profit from a problem and solve it. It cannot be done".

This World Food Day, we shine a light on social media feeds that are a red carpet for junk food ads!
Joined with the amazing @katfoodjenner , it was great to be back on Radio 4 to share how prevalent junk food ads are in the lives of young people.
Thanks for having us on :)

Pleased to share our new paper which found that exposure to HFSS marketing through traditional formats (e.g. broadcast & print) was associated with greater household purchases of energy (9779kcal), protein (416g), carbohydrate(1164g) and sugar (514g) over a four week period.
