The Prime Minister has U-turned on his promise to introduce a 9pm watershed and online ban on junk food adverts and limit unhealthy multibuys that nudge us to buy more than we planned.

Thoughtful piece by @KitchenBee on false health halo of 'sugar free' below. Seeing giant @CocaCola_GB displays in @sainsburys shows how junk food brands are using sugar free options to exploit brand loopholes in current food promotions legislation @DHSCgovuk @SteveBrineMP

In this gloomy world, the belief that you can consume sweetness without consequences is one of the last pleasant illusions left. But do (non-sugar) sweeteners really do what is claimed for them? I wrote about sweeteners for @gdnlongread theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

The price of ‘sugar free’: are sweeteners as harmless as we thought?

The long read: We know we need to cut down on sugar. But replacing it with artificial compounds isn’t necessarily the answer

Incredibly worrying warnings over funding of #SchoolMeals from caterers @LACA_UK. Excellent interview from Sean Turner @sfmtweet. Now URGENT need to restore funding levels PLUS expand access for 800,000 children in England living in poverty, in time for September.

Hugely important ruling. Hopefully will stop similar law suits from multinationals trying to prevent progressive childrens health measures.

The @KelloggsUKI junk food court victory is a *stonker*. Industry efforts to overturn the whole basis of nutrition measurement drop-kicked into the stands by Mr Justice Linden. I've never read a judgement like it. Junk food industry shd be ashamed. Here's a few highlights. 1/🧵 – at Paddington, London

Fuming at Paddington Station! What happened to the #refillrevolution? Or the #CostOfLivingCrisis for that matter? @networkrail where's the *free* accessible drinking water promised in your #refill rollout? Is THIS the future of other fountains @NetworkRailLBG @NetworkRailVIC etc?
