ICYMI ITV News on Fri on Competition & Markets Authority interim infant & follow-on formula market survey. My 🔑 point within: all infant #formula are nutritionally comparable - price differentials are unjustified we.tl/t-V2EbHcKcqC BFLG-UK The Food Foundation Jess Brown-Fuller MP The Breastfeeding Network UK NCT

Our thoughts on points raised: YES to all parents being informed of this YES to enforcing legal requirement that IF & FoF look different (FoF is not necessary) YES to Govt imposed price controls on IF like a cap Not sure on prioritising a Govt produced IF

NO to allowing price promotions (could be harmful) CRITICAL (but mentioned in bulletin)- stronger controls on formula marketing needed across the board - Code in law

🤩So exciting to see our advice come to life in this bold action from Hounslow: advertising restrictions extended to unnecessary formula milks and unhealthy commercial baby/toddler foods hounslow.gov.uk/news/article/3…

Waterstones @waterstones unexpectedly opened their new #Streatham High Road bookshop late on Friday afternoon and immediately attracted plenty of customers, with queues forming at the tills within the first hour.

Tune in to RTE1 on Monday 18th Nov to hear Aileen Kennedy RD PhD and I speak with Kathriona Devereux about infant and young child feeding in emergencies. Very excited to start disseminating the findings of this HEA funded study next year. #iycfe #foodsecurity

We have had enough of this. It is time to act. Specifically, it is time for Wandsworth Council's leadership and TfL to act *together* to bring about #VisionZero in our borough. Celia Duncan from Wandsworth Cycling closed our vigil with these demands ⤵️

We have time but not a lot. That's why there's a sense of urgency about protecting what remains of the natural living systems - deserts, ocean, coral reefs and the deep sea. Why do we even think of disrupting the deep sea when we have a chance to protect it and keep it safe?
