Alternatively FSS could address the unhealthy snacks inside rather than promoting cognitive restraint xitter.cf/fsscot/status/84767482…
If you can pay at the pump for your petrol, it can help you to avoid the unhealthy snacks inside #changeourfuture bit.ly/2bILgp3

Good place to be..Eastgate centre is full of food crimes as rents are too high for anyone selling real food. xitter.cf/fsscot/status/84520666…
We're at the @_EastgateCentre in #Inverness for our #FoodCrime roadshow. Why not come say hello and learn more?
The words frying pan and fire come immediately to mind. Fatty liver or gut dysbiosis? Try the tap! xitter.cf/fsscot/status/84503996…
Cut down on sugary drinks & switch to sugar-free versions - it might be easier to remove them from your diet if you want #changeourfuture
...and carbs are not bad for you!..just overprocessed refined carbs promoted by our food industry, in combination with inactivity xitter.cf/exerciseworks/status/8…

future Labour leader congratulates future Tory leader while they shadow box in preparatory jobs xitter.cf/SadiqKhan/status/84269…
Some people might regard porridge as a treat. Pleasure and health can come in the same foods. Stop being so Calvinist! xitter.cf/fsscot/status/84155198…
Before leaving the house, have a bowl of porridge or wholegrain cereal for breakfast to help you have a #treatfreetuesday.

An elected US politician tweets about "restoring our civilisation". If you think these are not very dangerous times your head is in the sand xitter.cf/stevekingia/status/840…
Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. xitter.cf/v_of_europe/status/840…

If you want people to drop them, why call them treats? xitter.cf/fsscot/status/84128591…
Join us in making a pledge to have a #treatfreetuesday – we want as many people in Scotland to join us in dropping unhealthy treats
Still encouraging calorie counting?! xitter.cf/fsscot/status/84167357…
Giving up 2 chocolate biscuits & 1 can of full sugar drink for just one day a week could mean 16,000 fewer calories a year #treatfreetuesday
Why call it a treat and then ask people to avoid it? Treats are socially constructed & more valuable when we apply cognitive restraint xitter.cf/fsscot/status/84191436…
How did your first #treatfreetuesday go? Try a shopping list and stick to it to help you avoid the unhealthy treats bit.ly/2d9fceW

Better than GDA labels but still frames food in terms of harm avoidance rather than nourishment. Same for calorie info on Eatwell guide xitter.cf/shirleyskye3/status/82…
Too negative. Fails to promote whole foods. Need less Nutritionism & more focus on "real food". Promotes food fear rather than nourishment. xitter.cf/shirleyskye3/status/82…

Can't evaluate foods with only negative appraisal & sugar data out of date. Traffic lights suggest s.f Irn Bru better than smoked mackerel! xitter.cf/nhs24/status/829012436…
