Why is Bob nuts about Tg green tea?

My mission to fight for better food & drink on store shelves drove me to create Tg. Getting the drink in-store with Tesco in the UK is just the start. This crowdfunding campaign has stirred up strong interest by another major retailer as well as a number of cafe chains. Enquiries have come in from the US, France, Germany, the UAE, China, Japan, Chile, the Netherlands, and the Caribbean regarding selling Tg in those markets.But I cannot make Tg a success on my own. I need your help which is why I am here, asking you to make a campaign pledge.

Bob Beveridge, a former colleague at Mars, experienced NED & Chartered Accountant, made a sizeable pledge very early in the campaign. He then asked to try out Tg green teas. He thought the drinks were delicious and something really new and different (after doing his own in-store and other research). He was so moved by Tg's mission that he reached out to offer his help as an advisor and to help me pull together a board to support Tg's mission. We have since met to begin plotting next steps.

I need more folks like Bob to join #TeamTg.  Through your campaign pledge, you can get involved in some way e.g. as an active advisor like Bob, a future equity investor, a services provider or some other role. Or perhaps you're happy to look on with pride that you helped me on my mission. Whatever you'd like to do, I will appreciate it. Almost 90 people have backed the campaign so far. Will you join us by making a pledge TODAY?
If you live outside the UK, you can also pledge money and, in return, I can send a special reward to you or - as one recent backer (David Mazur) generously requested - to a children's hospital or other charity.
Thank you and enjoy the rest of the day.

Is Kraft Heinz dropping the Unilever acquisition just an interlude?

(c) 2012 Convergence Alimentaire blog image I cut my FMCG marketing teeth  at Unilever and ended my full-time global food & drink industry career at Kraft/Mondelez. I now run a  healthier drinks startup  business ( drinktg.com ) alongside a global innovation consultancy where I work as an  "extrapreneur"  supporting companies wanting to remake their portfolios to better fit emerging consumer needs for healthier products......so I am perhaps in a unique position to give a point of view.  If you are Dutch or British, you  feel closer culturally to Unilever  and few people living in the UK will have forgotten Kraft's poor treatment of people & assets post  Cadbury's acquisition . However, the reality is that the  vision and values of both companies are not so dissimilar  and both are facing the same  fundamental shifts  in consumer behaviour & needs in relation to "big FMCG/CPG" brands in both developed a...

Why portion and serving sizes should be left for the FSA to decide

Like much of the developed world, t he UK has an obesity problem . 60% of the population is overweight or obese from eating too much and exercising too little. Reducing portion sizes a proven intervention that changes health behaviour and helps to reduce obesity There have been numerous studies since the early 1990s that show reducing  portion sizes  of the food & drink we consume would help reverse the obesity epidemic. BBC health editor,  James Gallagher , reported in 2015 [ link ] the findings of research based on 6,711 people that took part in a wide range of clinical trials. Professor  Gareth Hollands  (among others) found that eliminating " large portions could cut up to 279 calories a day out of people's diets " [ link ].... equivalent to an extra kg of fat to contend with every month. Research in the British Medical Journal states that  reducing portion sizes  becomes easier when there is availability of smaller pack sizes  ...

Eat 10 fruit and veg per day is unhelpful advice

Kantar continues to report folks manage to eat on average just over 3 fruits & vegetables a day despite years of encouraging folks to aim for 5 a day. Now, researchers from Imperial College London are urging folks now to up fruit & veg intake to 10 per day [link to research press release ]. 10 a day. Researchers risk folks doing little more than throwing in the towel in despair, especially in the short term. In any event, looking just at fruit & veg's impact on cardiovascular health is too narrow a research focus in my view.  It would be more helpful if researchers looked at a broader basket of food & drink especially green tea , whole grains, spices and certain nuts. This might give us a better chance at improving overall health & wellbeing! Sophia Nadur www.drinktg.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophianadur/
