Kamala Harris's joy = power.
The key to effective communication is not just to present facts and figures, but to connect with people on an emotional level.

🤳New EU 'sweep' of influencers shows the vast majority (80%) fail to declare their commercial content as advertising.
🍟🍷Worryingly, over a third of #influencers are promoting unhealthy or hazardous activities, including junk food and alcoholic beverages

😬NS is not useful for consumers (false!)
😬The NutrInform has a 'strong scientific foundation' (false!)
3/5 According to meeting minutes, @jwojc’s Cabinet and DG AGRI were (wrongly) informed by the Italian Perm Rep (joined by Italian food industry @FedAlimentare) that the Nutri-Score had ‘no scientific evidence’ behind it. In reality? Over 100 peer-reviewed papers and counting…
