Great post by @katribertram.bsky.social I have a section 'Big Phil' in 'Food Fight' on the rise of philanthropy in the nutrition space...which I was compelled to write after reading this quote from BG: "I was able to find things...like malnutrition...that would not be solved without philanthropy"

❌ Yet again we see a government caving to industry pressure by delaying advertising restrictions on junk food! Policymakers know the power of marketing - and unless we protect our children and shift the balance we're going to stay in a cycle of poor diets/health outcomes. 🔗 bit.ly/3PR0Gal #HFSS

Reports from Gaza confirm that people are now literally dying of starvation. Western leaders have issued words of condemnation, but words are not enough. They have the power to stop this genocide now.

"We need to transform the system into one in which the health of people and planet is prioritised above the relentless drive for profit. It is too late for incremental change and yet more tweaking at the margins – we need a radical overhaul."

Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30. GASP 😮 We know, it's a big goal. If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform your community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

“They’re going to need psychological counselling, behaviour change, nutritional support from that moment on to help them sustain healthier behaviour in the long term, to keep the weight off” Is that it? No change to junk food environments? Business as usual? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Strange article... Yes, additives may be problematic, but they are NOT the main problem. Food environments are saturated with ultra-processed products, purposively engineered for over-consumption. A mono-focus on additives is a distraction that again plays into the hands of industry
