It is with pleasure (and a sigh of relief!) that I announce my upcoming book Unprocessed.
In this book I look at the evidence for the role of food and nutrients on the brain and mental health across the lifespan – from preconception to old age. More soon!

Being hungry at school not only impairs learning, mood, and behaviour. It is an insult to the child's self-esteem with long-lasting effects. We can do better. And if we can, we should.

We were honoured to hear Sophie's lived experience of school breakfasts at the Labour conference.
Sophie told us that, on the days when she'd had a school breakfast, she was more inspired to take on the day and felt like she could achieve anything! 🚀
Share if you agree, every child and young person deserves breakfast.

ALT Image of Sophie Balmer, Youth Board Advisor for Magic Breakfast, speaking at a podium. Text reads "It goes so much deeper than the physical effects of hunger. It's wondering your whole younger years why you aren't deserving of a meal without this feeling of suffocating guilt. Therefore, on what planet would you be deserving of this place at uni, or to travel, or have any aspirations?"
