👏 @jonathanboote - this looks like a really great paper and defniitely one for my reading list📚 Part of my role as #PPI lead is to 'recruit' people to groups and panels, so I'm really interested in this area.

Starting the new academic year with a 1-month visit to the @UNI_FIRENZE thanks to @EUni_Well! Thinking of how much I’ll miss these views on the way to work already makes me sad💔

So, @ohid asked the Scientific Advisory Committe on Nutrition (SACN) to write a position statement on processed foods and health, which is out today: gov.uk/government/pub… It's worth a look (if you're interested in this sort of thing - seems a lot of people are...)

Disappointing to see yet another food policy delay with multi-buy restrictions now not coming in until Oct 2025. What would help families during the #CostOfLivingCrisis? Offers on healthy and staple food, rather than foods high in fat, sugar and salt. gov.uk/government/new…

🚩 97% of snacks marketed at babies & toddlers feature a nutritional/health claim on the front of packaging despite often being high in sugar. The Govt must act to regulate the marketing & composition of such foods, as states our #BrokenPlate report. 🔗 bit.ly/43TmVlb

Time flies! It was a pleasure to host Nienke from @MaastrichtU at @UOB_CEO and @HEU_UoB for the past 3 months, who was working on her MSc thesis about mental health care use of people living with obesity. Couldn’t be more proud and excited for what the future holds for you!
