Defra secretary Steve Reed witnessed Veg Power’s campaign in action yesterday (25 March) during a visit to a south London primary school.

Reed, who is MP for Streatham and Croydon North, accompanied Veg Power CEO Dan Parker to Sunnyhill Primary School in Lambeth, where he saw the influence of the charity’s ’Eat Them to Defeat Them’ veg consumption campaign on children in his constituency.

During his visit, Reed joined in with the vegetable-themed activities designed to inspire pupils to eat more veg, and discussed the benefits of the campaign with the teaching staff.
