Food inequality is a major problem in 🇪🇺, with poor diets promoted and quality food not widely accessible.
Consumers’ daily food choices are heavily shaped & constrained by factors beyond their control.

We need a Sustainable Food Systems Law that ensures #FoodEnvironments support consumers over profit and make healthy, sustainable and affordable food the default choice for consumers.

Our daily walk to school is an endless case study on #food #advertising, with *a lot* of bad … and occasionally a few good practices!

Supermarkets could do much more to support consumers in eating sustainably - notably by increasing their offer of plant-based and sustainably sourced foods.
