Wonder why it's so difficult to afford healthier food? @DollyvanT highlighting research from Bite Back & others on how the majority of big food £ profit comes from unhealthy products. Our food system should work for us, our children & families, not a handful of companies 👇

As someone who cares about clean air, I'm not alone in being humbled & inspired by Dr Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA's tireless campaigning. Important to see this recognition & another step in the fight for justice. As Rosamund says, there is more to do. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Health experts inc Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh RCGP Scotland RCPCH Scotland urge @ScotGov @AlasdairAllan to reverse U-turn on New Build Heat Standard regs that would have stopped installation of wood burners in new builds. A missed opportunity to improve air quality and protect health.
