Jean Adams is a Professor of Dietary Public Health at the MRC Epidemiology Unit at Cambridge University. Her work explores how the environment, in its widest sense, influences what people eat and how we can change the environment to support people to eat better. Recent work has explored online food delivery apps, menu labelling in large chain restaurants, the soft drinks industry levy and the potential for ‘healthier’ takeaways.
Nutritional food should not be a privilege but a guaranteed right for all young people. As a young ambassador, I am committed to advocating for the most vulnerable in society, speaking up for those who are too often dismissed and overlooked. Every young person deserves access to healthy food that fuels their potential, which is why I am dedicated to bridging the gap between policymakers and those directly impacted by their decisions. Children deserve to grow up in a community where they can thrive, not just survive.
