For discussion:

• What are the real consequences of 'junk food diets'? Find out the truth about the food we consume, and what research shows it's doing to our brains, as well as our bodies
• Learn how nutrition critically affects brain development and psychological functioning - and how diet at any age impacts on mental health, wellbeing and performance
• Could better nutrition really reduce anti-social behaviour, boost children's learning, or reduce stress and depression? And can diet help parents and professionals manage conditions like dyslexia, ADHD or autism? What does the scientific evidence show?
• How can you encourage healthy food choices at home, at school and at work? Dealing effectively with food culture, 'fussy eating', poor food choices and food cravings
• Feeding a better future: Could some simple dietary changes actually help to resolve many of the problems currently facing practitioners and policy-makers in health, education, social services and criminal justice?
