In just 5 years, TastEd (@tastedfeed), the food education charity I co-founded, has grown (huge thx to @FranABox) from a couple of schools to more than 1300 schools & nurseries in the U.K. To reach more children, we now need a fundraiser. Details here. tasteeducation.com/wp-content/upl…

Brilliant Food and the Future event at @Bromley_by_Bow Centre yesterday. The sun shone, people gathered and healthy food was discussed. It was great to hear of all that is going on in @TowerHamletsNow including the Fantastic Food in Schools Programme featuring @tastedfeed

Calling food educators... @saltbutterbones and I are planning the Spring edition of the Food Education Network Dinners for April in London. Come to the "most fun, least network-y networking" dinner to meet friendly, like minded passionate people. DM me for details.

Thank you to @jasorourke & @FranABox for coming to @HLFoodObesity w me today to give evidence on @tastedfeed in helping children to enjoy veg. I got emotional in the first segment, talking about 5 year-olds having all their teeth extracted but I think it got better after that…

Join @wearegrow___ as the new Food and Farming Trustee, you won’t regret it! I’m biased, but honestly this is a wonderful charity, doing great work with an amazing team of staff, volunteers and my brilliant fellow trustees. I feel very lucky to be involved and now you can too!

@jennychandleruk @tastedfeed @HotwellsPrimary Thank you so much, Jenny! It would be lovely to have more schools in Bristol using TastEd (we now have more than 1000 schools and nurseries using the resources across the U.K. but I don't know how many we have in Bristol, though @FranABox would know...)

Can children love vegetables? Our culture often says no. But what everyone involved at @tastedfeed (TastEd) has seen is that vegetables quickly become objects of desire when children try them with friends at school. I've been so moved by some of the latest teacher feedback...

The @PeasPleaseUK #VegSummit promised to be a fun and interesting event and it delivered! Loved the table displays (that became goody bags) from @growcomm. Sadly didn’t get a pic of the Mariachi band, too busy chatting to fascinating ppl & enjoying the veggie mocktails!

Engaging and important discussions around the provision of universal free school meals. Providing #UFSM is the first very necessary part of puzzle. Beyond this we must think of all the factors, including #foodeducation, that can lead to healthy consumption of the food provided.

On Sunday it was the @wearegrow___ Pumpkin Time event. Pumpkins to pick and carve, pumpkin soup, pumpkin fancy dress and even the chickens were enjoying some pumpkin. A beautiful opportunity for adults and children alike to spend time outside and see how food is grown.

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals
