‼️Food companies spending big (an extra £420m) ahead of new UK junk food ad rules… Coinciding with a bumper 12 months for sales of snack foods (an extra 45.4m packs of chocolate, cakes and crisps)
It’s almost as if advertising is indeed very effective? 🤔

Campaigners hoping to bring Charlton’s White Swan pub back to life are hosting a fundraising pub quiz later this month.
The event will mark five years since the pub closed suddenly, just a few days before the Covid lockdown in March 2020.

I've written about what dying typically looks like - not as a 'pro' or 'anti' AD piece, but in the spirit of confronting a taboo.
We've lost the easy familiarity with the patterns of dying that existed when death typically occurred in people’s own homes.
Let's talk about it 🙏
