The last time I wrote as Deputy Editor on this page was for our January 2021 issue on veganism, which caused quite a stir. As I write my last ever editorial for The Psychologist, that issue remains the one I am most proud of. It ticked all the boxes to meet our aims stated opposite – providing communication, discussion and controversy, while diffusing knowledge of psychology. This month, we bring you another issue partially focused on food. There’s Andrea Oskis on the comfort in food, and Sally Wiggins Young gives a new perspective on talk at mealtimes. To anyone who says they don’t like vegan food, I now optimistically say, ‘you’re not enjoying it now, that’s fine, maybe it’ll taste better another time’. Before I sign off I’d like to thank the amazing team I’ve worked with for the last three years, and our associate editors and committee. Thank you and keep up the good work. And readers, please contribute! As I transition back to being a reader, I look forward to seeing the communication, discussion and controversy continue.
