Pod Bites: A Veg Power New Year

Do family meals mean children eat healthier food? How often are families sitting down together to eat? Dan Parker, Chief Executive of Veg Power, tells us about the latest research understanding what family mealtimes look like in this New Year pod bite. The insights are based on a survey by its Families and Food Task Force, which includes parents, retailers, government, chefs, nutritionists, psychologists, behavioural scientists and the world of advertising and media.
