Do you ever think there’s an awful lot of junk food ads on buses and bus stops in Adelaide? Turns out, 8 out of 10 food and drink ads are junk food or alcohol. We hope this research prompts action to make Government property healthier for all South Australians.
"An environmental scan of food and drink advertising on public transport around Adelaide schools" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Findings prompt a review and discussion of the suitability of food and drink promotion on government-owned transport and their associated assets.

I always learn so much from @Zockmelon - Kristy is an absolute social media and public health guru and I've learned so much from her over the years!
Replying to @DrOliviaDoll1
Now hearing from @Zockmelon - on social media as both a tool and a setting. Has been working in this space for a decade. Now hard to imagine/remember the era before SM

Our community deserves a safe space to enjoy sports, alcohol-free. However, new analysis found a quarter of sponsorships for the 2023 #StateofOrigin come from companies that profit from alcohol, gambling & unhealthy foods 🧵 Read our media release šŸ‘‡ fare.org.au/alcohol-gambling…

Accurate.
Some people have told me they don't feel as comfortable posting on LinkedIn as Twitter because of the weird formal/corporate vibe over there. It's easy. Tweet: I am eating spaghetti šŸ LinkedIn: Honoured to fuel my highly successful and dynamic body with this pasta dish today.

Great to see Health and Education announcing updated Right Bite today. As a previous chair of our primary school canteen committee, having resources and updated standards will be incredibly helpful. šŸ‘
Today I joined @PictonChris and the Blair Athol North B-6 principal Darren Stevenson to launch the revised Right Bite Healthy Food and Drink Strategy. It’s important we provide the most up to date advice when it comes to healthy eating guidelines so our children and young people can develop good nutrition habits early on. The students took us on a tour of their kitchen garden, which was fantastic! And some of the best apples I’ve tasted šŸŽ
