Here’s a sneak peak at one of our latest stories. Governments around the globe are “failing to protect” children from the effects of junk food marketing, a new report warns. The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) said that the junk food marketing has a “damaging impact” on children’s health and nutrition. Marketing affects what children want, buy and eat, which in turn affects their health and contributes to the increasing levels of childhood obesity, it said. The report takes lessons learned from around the world, highlighting that restricting marketing of junk food to children reduces their exposure to these products and therefore reduces how much of them they eat. This can help reduce childhood obesity rates and it is why marketing restrictions are internationally recognised as urgently needed. “Our report highlights the vital role that governments play in ensuring that junk food is not actively promoted to children,” said Kate Oldridge-Turner, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at WCRF.
