Even with all our health inspo we are eating fewer fruit & veggies. This is not good. The way to improve the food system is not to increase the price of fruit & veg for consumers, it’s to pay farmers fairly to grow healthy food in a sustainable way.

Read ‘Avocado Anxiety’ to find out more in the supply chain and the effects of our shopping choices.

I’ll be on Alexis Conran 𝕏 Times Radio at 2.20pm this afternoon chatting about why farmers are so angry, why bananas are dangerous and why we’re all so worried about where our fruit & veg comes from… #avocadoanxiety Tune in!

Need a #WorldBookDay book recommendation? 📚

#AvocadoAnxiety by Louise Gray is a fascinating look into the story behind the food on our plates, including a chapter on green beans grown by farmers supported by Farm Africa in Kenya. 🫛

I took this image, three years ago today and it made the front cover of a book called #LandHealer

Funny, how things work out

#WorldBookDay

I know a thing or two about things
That dawn is a thing in the dark
That the end of one thing
Is also the start

Don't think it'll be long until we all see ultra-processed-food as the equivalent of cigarettes: Addictive, harmful, costing the NHS squillions, and destroying people's health & lives - all while handing huge profits to companies & undermining real food. Recommend Chris' book!
