MomsRising is hosting a #FoodFri tweetchat on May 13, 2016 at 1 pm Eastern, to share the work of Foodstand (a community of eaters helping each other stay in the know about how to shop, cook, and eat better) and Jamie Oliver Food Foundation on Food Revolution Day.

This year, the focus of Food Revolution Day is understanding the role of sugar in our quest to build a food system that keeps our communities and families healthy. We know eating fresh, whole foods and cooking at home are the first steps to helping repave our food system, but we face many barriers. During this tweet chat, we'll discuss how we can create a system that supports healthier eating habits and reduces the prevalence of sugar-laden hyper processed foods.

Join #FoodFri on May 13, 2016 at 1pm Eastern to chat with @MomsRising and @thefoodstand, @CSPI and @foodrev about sugar! Feel free to spread the word by clicking HERE.

The Jamie Oliver Food Foundation works to educatatecommunities about access to good, fresh, real food and the basic skills to cook that have the power to transform lives, and that is what the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation is all about. Working in the UK, US and through the Good Foundation in Australia, they are leading a full-scale and ongoing Food Revolution to improve the health and happiness of future generations, through the food they eat.

From their food education programs delivered at a local level, to national and international campaigns that influence policy on key issues, they aim to revolutionize the way people feed themselves, and their families. Every year on Food Revolution Day, they celebrate success and shout about what needs to improve to further galvanise governments and industry to help us drive positive change in food education and public health.​
