The House of Lords Select Committee's "Recipe for Health" report has laid out a critical call to action, urging comprehensive reforms to tackle our nation's public health emergency. With 150 submissions from across the food system, the report identifies clear steps that the government must take to address rising obesity, poor nutrition, and food insecurity. At Rethink Food, we are proud to stand aligned with these national policy recommendations, leading the way toward healthier food environments through education, advocacy, and community engagement.

Yesterday was World Food Day, and we hosted an amazing event for some of our school partners. It was great to see children engaged, having fun, and learning about food, health, and sustainability through hands-on activities like our Planet Pizza Challenge. A huge thank you to the Blend Family (Matt Bigland and Nina Patel-Bigland), the Blend Culinary Foundation and Greggs Foundation for their incredible support in making the day a success. Together, we're inspiring the next generation to make healthier choices for themselves and the planet. Here's to more collaborative efforts in building a brighter, healthier and more sustainable future! #HealthyPeopleHealthyPlanet #foodeducation #healthandwellness #WorldFoodDay #sustainabilitymatters #CommunityEngagement
