Great stuff on TOAST. Might be good to start sketching in the background of two or three of their important staff?

Hi,
came across this person: Dr Susan Jebb, Chair, Department of Health Expert Group on Obesity What is this group? --David 15:31, 12 December 2007 (GMT)
Mary,
good stuff on TOAST (which is now Toast!). How did you come across the charity commission records? Very helpful. I added a little on LighterLife, which was the main funder and clearly used Toast as a front group to promote their products. I think this needs a bit of digging. Who is behind LighterLife and what did they manage to achieve - eg what did TOast people get up to and which influential positions were they able to insinuate themselves in? eg the posiotions on NICE, the the Health committee with the National Obesity Forum etc. Similarly can you trace the NOF activities as the funding you reveal is very significant...
Lastly, why is TOAST closing? and when was that announcement posted? what is Lighter Life doing now?
Quite a bit to get stuck into here. Let's talk soon.

Also, can you look into the funding and relationship with the PR firm involved. How much were they paid and what did they do. Use the statement I have quoted (but it needs written into prose and quoted) and find what you can. If you need help to acces lexis-nexis or in using www.archive.org let me know. --David 08:31, 30 November 2007 (GMT)
Hi Mary
re these guys:--
The Association of Professional Political Consultants is a lobby group for the lobbying profession. Its main function is to prevent openness and transparency by attempting to ensure that statutory regulation is not introduced in the UK.
--assume this is a work in progress? we need example(s) of how they are trying to prevent openness and transparency. ie things they've done, said, etc.
thanks! --Claire Robinson 18:13, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Mary,
I see you are trying to get to grips with the ref system. A guide is here: SpinProfiles:A Guide to Referencing
Remember to add at the bottom of each page: ==Notes==
<references/>
and then also to make sure you add at least one category. Category lists is here: Special:Categories
(and to make sure that names are listed alphabetically: [[Category:Scotland|Smith, John]]
can you make sure you give full references rather than just URLs?
so: Author name [URL Title of article/page], publication source, publication date and volume number etc, pg no, accessed date. Thanks --David 09:00, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
