In today’s @UKHouseofLords debate @RosieBoycott reminds us that we spend £458 million a year on school meals, but have no monitoring system. If compliance with school food standards is mandatory, why are we not ensuring that they’re maintained? @CFFinquiry #Right2Food – at London, England

Nearly 40 per cent of children aged 10 and 11 in London are overweight or obese – among the worst rates for any city in Europe. Good to see @MayorofLondon moving to ban these ads from the @TfL network.

When people move their spending from supermarkets to convenience stores, purchases of unhealthy food increase by 27%. #HealthyReturns shows that the high densities of convenience stores in more deprived areas make them ideal targets for market change bit.ly/2yVbhKt
