Bite Back 2030

Back-to-school season is a chance to rewrite the playground rules. 😎

Our young activists have shared countless stories on how energy drinks wrapped in clever marketing effortlessly creep their way into schools.

Read Clemmie's story here: www.biteback2030.com/our-activist...

The accessibility and marketing of energy drinks are a well-oiled cog in a food system that is set up to fool us all, and we’re not having it. That’s why we welcome this announcement and will be making our voices as loud as possible in the Government’s consultation. Are you with us?

Our young activists constantly share stories of how energy drinks, and their enticing marketing, show up in their lives — even becoming ’the social currency of the playground’ 😤. Check out Carrera sharing her experience in the BBC! 👉🏼 bbc.in/4mTRVvc

Huge news! 🥳

The Government is back from recess with a bang, as Health Secretary Wes Streeting announces sales of energy drinks to under-16s to be BANNED 🙌🏼

Big Food’s influence is everywhere — and young people are fighting back.

Derrin’s powerful piece in the Future Healthcare Journal calls out how junk food companies are putting profit above children’s health.

We won, and we won big! 🤩🏆

Our 2024 #CommercialBreak campaign won in the Best Consumer Campaign category yesterday at the Sheila McKechnie Foundation awards. 🎉

We’re thrilled to see our activists’ voices take centre stage — and to see their power finally getting the recognition it deserves!! 😎

THIS IS HUGE! 🤩🎉

For years, we’ve heard from young people about how difficult it is to access free school meals, often going hungry at school.

Today's announcement means that thousands of children will now have access to a warm meal.👏

This is a MASSIVE win after years of campaigning. 🥳

🎉We’ve been nominated for ANOTHER award! 🤩

We’re SO excited to announce that our 2024 #CommercialBreak campaign has been shortlisted in the Best Consumer Campaign category for the #SMKAwards2025!

We’re thrilled to see our activists’ voices shining in the spotlight. 😎

Have you seen it?

That’s OUR message taking over London! 🤯

We’ve rolled out 365 ads across the city — 365 ad spaces that Big Food can’t touch now! 😎

They’re not backing down, so neither are we. It’s time for a #CommercialBreak! 👀

But this isn't the only way they show up in our lives — we've been looking into how Big Food advertises on our streets, too.

Stay tuned — big things are coming… 👀 #CommercialBreak (4/4🧵)

And that 78% of the top 10 manufacturers’ food products that use packaging to appeal to children are classed as unhealthy? 😲 (3/4🧵)

Remember when we found out that 1,000 more schools have at least one top 10 big food chain within 400m of their gates? (2/4🧵)

We've been watching Big Food 👀 (1/4🧵)

Big Food isn’t backing down—but neither are we.

Keep your eyes peeled for what’s next…especially on what’s around you. 😉 (🧵12/12)
