Brilliant to be at the @oha-updates.bsky.social Obesity Health Alliance event with colleagues this week. Great to see so many organisations collaborating on developing great evidence, testing ways to improve dietary quality and supporting policymakers to engage with this important area.

Women tend to go to the office less frequently than men. Hmm, I wonder why that is.. and I wonder whether you could take some action on the care burden women carry rather than blame them and limit the opportunities they can access

There are two parents playing nursery rhymes on an iPad at full volume on a three hour train journey. When is this going to end? The lack of respect for others in shared spaces, not the journey.

The problem is this. Healthy lives, and life expectancy, are often determined well before anyone sets foot in a hospital. Supporting our NHS means tackling the social and the commercial determinants of health - poverty, inequalities, poor housing, unhealthy food. www.thetimes.com/article/1130...
We keep pumping money into the NHS. Is it good value?
Critics complain that our health service is bloated and inefficient — but the diagnosis is complex, and how does it compare with other countries?

The Food, Diet and Obesity Committee recently called on government to fix our broken food system. This followed an in-depth inquiry where the committee heard from a range of stakeholders.

In our new podcast, we unpack the evidence with chair, Baroness Walmsley.

As a food writer I feel it's important to report that sometimes the solution to your problems is eating as much mac and cheese as physically possible

Weeks in the planning, and then a frantic week-long dash to raise £50,000 to unwrap a total of £100,000 to help families buy fresh fruit & veg. 🍓

Over the last 30 years, obesity levels have doubled while politicians on all sides have tried and mostly failed to get a grip on the problem.

Too often obesity reduction policies were abandoned, derailed, watered down or lost in the system. What went wrong? www.nesta.org.uk/report/nouri...
