Croakey is closed for summer holidays and will resume publishing in the week of 9 January 2023. In the meantime, we are re-publishing some of our top articles from 2022.
This article was first published on Wednesday, November 9, 2022.
Introduction by Croakey: Intersectionality, commercial determinants of Indigenous health, food policy and junk food marketing were some of the talking points when a team for VicHealth took the reins of Croakey’s rotated Twitter account @WePublicHealth last week.
The team shared some wide-ranging discussions including recent research, book recommendations and evidence-based suggestions for tackling #UnhealthyIndustries.
In the summary below, they also ask “can an apple a day keep the doctor away”?
