HAT's ASA complaint about a Player of the Day sports award was upheld. It's an excellent example of the ways our children and young people are exposed to unhealthy food https://t.co/9wO25Rsuwv.

Almost every country in the developed world has less obesity than NZ. If we can implement WHO policy recommendations to reduce ultra-processed food consumption our obesity levels and associated costs will reduce. https://t.co/NBTkt6nZjg

The Govt needs a greater focus on improving nutrition and physical activity. A new report funded by @hapaitehauora estimates $2​ billion every year in direct costs for treating people who are overweight or have obesity https://t.co/9v3aH4Xj7z

We are very pleased that the UK has confirmed a total ban on online junk food advertising. An amazing accomplishment that could be replicated in Aotearoa #junkfood #dumpthejunknz

[IMS Epidemiology, University of Cambridge @imsepidemiology]

In today's #QueensSpeech the Government announced that junk food ads are set to be banned before the 9pm watershed on TV, with a total ban online.

It's disappointing that our complaint was not upheld by the ASA, but not altogether surprising. Real change needs to occur to the advertising codes https://t.co/Y3Ou0Y1JVX

A sugary drinks levy in the UK saw a 10% drop in sugar consumed. To reduce sugar consumption in NZ the government must look at restricting marketing of sugary drinks and junk food https://t.co/Co2VAWje23 via @1NewsNZ

It's heartening to see another city restrict junk food marketing. Wouldn't it be great if Auckland could do this too?
