‘Hungry’ Peter Pan statue unveiled in childhood malnutrition campaign
By Rich Leigh on Thursday, January 29, 2015
A statue of Peter Pan with a hole in his stomach has been unveiled on London’s South Bank today to launch the ‘Averting a Recipe for Disaster‘ campaign by kid’s food brand Ella’s Kitchen:
The statue of the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up with an empty stomach is being used as a way to highlight the current and very real issues arising (and only likely to get worse) as a result of childhood malnutrition.
@AvertaDisaster on Twitter is calling on famous names to get behind its efforts, with Sir Richard Branson quick to do so:
We support the #KidsFoodManifesto calling on politicians to @AvertaDisaster with our young children’s health. @Paul_Lindley

Here’s a video highlighting the campaign and call to pledge support by sending a letter to all political party leaders calling for a commitment to a food manifesto for under fives:
