Eating Better

Earlier this year, Eating Better, alongside Sustain: the alliance for better food and farming, Obesity Health Alliance, Wildlife and Countryside Link and Plant-based Food Alliance formed the Food Strategy Alliances. Together, we represent over 160 civil society and business organisations spanning health, animal welfare, conservation, food production, farming and social justice sectors.

Following the government’s announcement on mandatory reporting at the weekend, alliances representing over 200 organisations, plus 25 individual organisations representing health, farming, environment and animal welfare, are asking the government to ensure mandatory reporting goes beyond healthy sales to incorporate key health and sustainability criteria.

For healthy and sustainable diets to become the norm in the UK, we need national policies that support our farmers, safeguard our environment, and ensure everyone has access to safe and nutritious food. But how well are the four governments across the UK tackling this challenge? Eating Better’s new resource shines a light on the current state of play.

A new resource from Eating Better considers the health impacts of processed meat and highlights the need for public sector caterers and health organisations to focus efforts on reducing processed meat consumption in the UK.

Eating Better partnered with the Faculty of Public Health and the UK Health Alliance for Climate Change (UKHACC) to produce a new report 'Health professionals and sustainable diets: Policy and understanding'
