Kinder find a way around bans on aisle end displays. Create an aisle end in-aisle. At children's eye level. Nice work @ferarrouk. Their public position on advertising to children: we market "primarily to adults" and to "young people 12 years or over."

Interested in the biggest things in health to focus on for the next election? Have a browse of this. For me, primary prevention feels like the biggest mismatch between ambition and action currently.

Really important to look beyond the UK for inspiration on how to improve food environments

Such a cool finding. We really don't know what will work, people are complex and context matters. Katy Milkman your messaging trials inspired our vaccine messaging work in England.

You sometimes see this in public health. Health information can blur into propaganda designed to make people take something seriously (rather than understand the real risk) Bad thing to do for long term trust. David Spiegelhalter has good stuff on this.

Great to see stuff like this from Sainsbury's. So important for us to engage industry, as long as we don't compromise on high ambitions!

Great reminder from David Buck (also @davidjbuck.bsky.social). I tend to think about the bits that are actually cost saving as 'reducing the need to spend more on health in the future to maintain the same standard of care' but admittedly that's not as snappy as 'cost saving'.

Some lovely detailed work from Lauren Bowes Byatt and the team looking at how to ensure improvement in food sold translates to improving inequalities. Cool fig showing variation by IMD decile much smaller than variation between supermarkets. nesta.org.uk/blog/could-hea…
