'Expanding Free School Meals is right for children's health and right for the economy' - Liberal Democrats MP Munira Wilson She made the comments during our event in UK Parliament to introduce new MPs to our #NourishingTheNation manifesto. Children are the future, but their diets are not setting them up well for a productive, healthy life. Many are experiencing food insecurity and the most deprived children in society have higher risks of obesity and dental decay, and are on average shorter than the least deprived children. Improving access to nutritious food for all children is essential if they are to achieve their full potential. Read more: ➡ https://lnkd.in/eja9YWvw

'Addressing food insecurity must be a central part of how we tackle both poverty and inequality' - Baroness Sue Hayman. It was encouraging to hear the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Minister say this at our event in UK Parliament this week.

Many of the problems the country is facing: poor productivity, many out of work, struggling health care system, mental health, regional inequalities, the climate crisis, can be at least partly solved by food and diet.
