Great to see the work advancing in Spain with the help of @UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador @paugasol 💪 Thanks for your efforts!
La @GasolFoundation y yo nos hemos reunido con el PG @sanchezcastejon y la ministra @CarolinaDarias. Buenas noticias: el Gobierno está comprometido a poner en marcha un plan integral de lucha contra la #ObesidadInfantil, principal problema de salud de los niños y niñas en España.

“Parading on hospital compounds w giant figurative cheques to show gifts …from #alcohol companies may serve interests of alcohol brand, & even needs of a particular hospital deficit @ a point in time, but it undermines legitimacy of public health…” @christufton @themohwgovjm 🇯🇲

What would you love to see happen in your community to support your kids to eat healthier? @VicHealth would like to hear from you. If you are 18-25, or a parent or carer of a child, have your say! https://t.co/xJCvNE79Vo

But we want this investment SHAPED by young people. That’s why we’re calling for ideas from right across Victoria. Tell us your ways to support young people, and their mental and physical health in 2022 and beyond. https://t.co/fjejsmT1tr

Today, we're launching Future Healthy — our brand new $45 million, 3-year investment in young people, wellbeing and recovery. It's all about listening to young people across Victoria, and putting the opportunities in place as we emerge from COVID for them to achieve good health.

At least two in three children are not eating the minimum diet they need to grow, develop, and learn to their full potential. This hurts not just children – it hurts us all. Read our report: Fed to Fail? @unicef

"For children, food is life, growth, development & health, but also joy & happiness". Children around the world told us that they know what foods are nutritious, but that these foods are often too expensive or simply unavailable. Read more here: https://t.co/kUpBjcO8wp

⚠️Well timed ahead of @FoodSystems Summit where #BigFood actors are set to position as ‘part of the solutions’ for various forms of malnutrition - recommended reading for Member State & UN agency #FoodSystems & #nutrition focal points - before it’s too late. #UNFSS2021 #ActOnNCDs
🔥New paper!! In a nutshell: Big Food's "we are part of the solution" to obesity/NCDs is hugely profitable and retrenches political power. ps: yes, we talk about Gramsci/hegemony ;) https://t.co/6NzU6xdEXi

.@UNICEF is convinced that a food systems transformation is desperately needed to address the crisis in child diets, improve the quality of children's foods, their food environments & food practices. Next week's UN Food System Summit is only the beginning.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! As we mark the 40th year of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes, how can we strengthen its worldwide implementation? Our paper shows that confronting & constraining corporate power over first-food systems will be crucial
NEW PAPER OUT!! 🔥 Reveals extensive & globally coordinated political activity of the baby food industry to weaken #BMSCode implementation. To strengthen #BMSCodeAt40 we must directly confront & constrain corporate power over first-food systems. Please RT. https://t.co/KsXpEB62ek

Thank you Kym Valentine for your important personal story on how alcohol products are fuelling domestic violence. We support higher standards on how online alcohol products are sold and delivered to protect families from violence. https://t.co/1bzyQbI7O2

If we studied every person who died in Australia, it’s likely many would have eaten toast in the previous week. It doesn’t mean the toast killed them. Know the facts, and listen to experts like @VictorianCHO. #covid19vic
A false Facebook meme has been circulating, claiming an untrue number of deaths linked with the current vaccine rollout. Misinformation like this is dangerous. Now more than ever, know the facts: https://t.co/TQkh32omih

What a legend! Soccer superstar @Cristiano removes two branded cola bottles from the desk during his press conference, and says “drink water” instead. Leadership like this matters. Kids around the world will see this & act. @Raf_Epstein @LisaMillar
