Blog: Looking back to go forwards - a review of Children's Food Campaign activity

When I started at Children’s Food Campaign in January 2012, getting cooking onto the curriculum, junk off the checkouts and traffic light nutrition labelling onto the front of packaging were the big campaigns I got stuck into first.

More than two thirds of UK adults (70%) said their parents insisted on washing hands before meals, with 62% now doing the same themselves. Just over half (53%) recalled their parents washing chopping boards in between preparing raw and cooked foods – a behaviour that two thirds (66%) had recently repeated.

All options should be on the table to protect children’s health. So it is irresponsible of the Government to continue to refuse to consider a sugary drinks tax, especially now Public Health England’s lists it as one of their eight areas for action."
