Consumer Campaign backs the Year of Food and Farming

14th September 2007

The Label My Food campaign today backed the Year of Food and Farming initiative to educate inner city children about where their food comes from.

“This is a fantastic idea and I wholeheartedly support it” stated Anthony Butcher, the founder of Label My Food. “British children should be taught to take an interest in what is in their food and where it comes from.”

“Starting early like this underpins the core message of the Label My Food campaign. We would encourage every school in Britain to become actively involved in teaching their pupils about farming, food transportation and animal welfare. These are major issues of our time, and our children should grow up being able to make informed choices about what they eat.”
