Really disturbed to see this in Tesco yesterday. These sugary / ultra processed products are not good choices for growing children’s school snacks or lunch boxes. Get with the times please Tesco! Obesity Health Alliance - Account Inactive The Food Foundation

Jet Parks 3 at Manchester Airport is quite possibly the biggest rip off out there. No where near 15minute buses. Flooded car park. Really poor.

A high Body Mass Index (BMI) does not necessarily mean that someone has obesity. Obesity is a complex, relapsing, multifactorial disease - a diagnosis of which must be conducted by a trained HCP, in a medical setting. But what is BMI, really? 🤔 ➡️ worldobesity.org/news/body-mass…

Misleading headline sums up why the ban is needed. Any food with added high levels of salt, fat and sugars is included. And yes, i'm looking at you flavoured porridge pots. A step in the right direction to start supporting health through food regulation. telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…

Seriously? England and Wales Cricket Board is extending its unhealthy partnership with #junkfoods for The Hundred. They were caught out by ASA for advertising snacks to children. Sports bodies must step up & bat for children's health not food company profits theguardian.com/sport/2024/dec… @Food_active

🍔 Our current food systems are driving a huge increase in rates of obesity. ❗ We need clearer food labelling so that people can make informed choices about what they eat. #WOD2025 👉 worldobesityday.org #WorldObesityDay ⭕

Today is #WorldObesityDay. #Obesity is a complex condition and each individual faces distinct needs & challenges. A healthier society is possible only if we prioritize community support & stand up against discrimination and stigma.
