Today is #WorldFoodDay. This year's theme is "Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future". We're firm believers in the need for joining hands and in promoting food as a vehicle of peace. Solidarity to all those working for food justice. There is much work to do. Change food, change the world.

🌏 EAT Lancet 2.0 is out! On what has changed in what constitutes a 'Planetary health diet' since the original EAT Lancet report in 2019, Walter Willett said 'almost nothing'. Lots of more recent science backs up what was in the original Planetary Health diet.

Gov'ts must work harder to address root causes. Invest in prevention, to take burden off NHS. Diet-related ill health costing UK £268bn p.a. (Prof Tim Jackson), i.e. >£10 per person per day. On Spending Review day, UK Gov't should invest properly in UK agriculture and better food systems.

We live in an instant world, where everything's about immediacy, instant gratification and quick fixes. We think it can be different. As part of this, how we think about the impacts of our work is really important. I'm interested in who's thinking differently about impact. Who can we learn from?

The Chancellor apparently wants regulators to "tear down" red tape. This is worrying and frustrating. Why do so many politicians get sucked into the ‘red tape’ rhetoric? Unchecked UK is doing important work to show that most regulation is ‘common sense protection’. Worth a look…
