I am so proud and honoured to work alongside @KitchenBee in the work we do with @tastedfeed. Bee spoke so passionately about the untapped potential of schools to positively improve children’s physical & mental wellbeing and to experience pleasure from healthy food. #FoodEducation.
Feeling proud to have had the chance to talk about the benefits of @tastedfeed and why food literacy is essential in the House of Lords yrday @HLFoodObesity alongside @ChefsinSchools @sfmtweet. Pictured in the background is @jasorourke!

Totally agree with @HenryDimbleby saying that the introduction of Universal Free School Meals will change the culture in schools. This investment in our children’s health & well-being will not only bring benefits to them as individuals but also to our future society.
👏 Great to hear @HenryDimbleby talk about extending #FreeSchoolMeals when asked what steps we should take to improve the food system!. He was giving evidence at @HLFoodObesity alongside @DoctorChrisVT. Watch in full: ➡️ #UltraProcessedFood
