It’s been quiet in our house this week. The life and soul of our family has been away on her school journey with Sandhurst Primary School and I’ve missed her so much! Hoping she’s having the best time today on her 10th birthday! 🎉

Air pollution is a problem that continues to harm our capital city. While the ULEZ expands to the North and South Circular soon, we can continue taking measures to ensure we breathe cleaner air. Thank you TfL for working with us in spreading the message regarding clean air !

We have a plan to improve our food system. Read more about the #NationalFoodStrategy 👇 nationalfoodstrategy.org

This is outrageous! Inaccurate information from a company whose primary objective is to increase sales. It’s in their interest to reduce breastfeeding rates. This is exactly why we need to strengthen regulations for the marketing of baby feeding products. #BabiesBeforeProfits

Thanks Alive & Thrive Brilliant summary of how formula companies have consistently focused on their own profits, regardless of the impact on infant health and mortality. #BabiesBeforeProfit

Brilliant to hear the passionate voices of the young people involved with Bite Back leading the conversations about industry manipulation through marketing.

Marion Nestle Yet another marketing ploy by the British formula company that regularly violates UK law (& of course the Code). + There can be no such thing as an infant formula that is ‘kinder’ to babies when all have to follow the same strict compositional regs… just misleading parents

Oh man, we were sad about this one. Almost 9 in 10 young people think smoothies are healthy, but 76% of juices and smoothies would get a red traffic light label. It's time to tell the food industry: #DontHideWhatsInside bit.ly/bite-back-reve…
