2020 has been a challenge. OK, slight understatement. I actually called the end of the world back in February. As we’re coming into the final month, it would be easy to write off the whole year as ‘bad”. …

We need a plan for improving mental health not our waistlines — We haven’t finished the war on the virus and the government has already started the next; the war on obesity.
