Bite Back’s Post

Our Fuel Us, Don't Fool Us campaign launches today and it might be our biggest one yet! We ran the (many) numbers and found: 🤯 7 of the 10 biggest global food businesses make their money from selling mostly unhealthy food and drink in the UK* 🧸 The same number are using child-appealing tactics like cartoons and colourful packaging to market unhealthy products to kids. 🚨 This is at a time when nearly 1 in 3 children are at risk of having their lives impacted in the future from food related health issues. We're calling on these companies to sell more healthy products (and less junk!) -- and quit the cute, cuddly marketing on products that aren't good for kids health. But we need your help. Sign our open letter to the CEOs of these companies demanding they do more to protect the health and futures of young people 👉 https://bb2030.co/v9pB #FuelUsDontFoolUs #Marketing #ChildHealth #Nutrition #PowerofYouth *Based on 2022 sales

It's Nestlé AGM day and our call for the company to put our health first has hit the news!

Who remembers this from last year? 🤦 It’s bad enough bringing out a new cereal based on chocolate bars, but also trying to claim that it’s healthy? What a joke! Had enough of tactics like this? Leave a message for Nestlé in the comments. #FuelUsDontFoolUs
