Not just a great goal scorer but an ambassador for drinking water, hurrah @Cristiano! Would be great to see more sportspeople promoting healthy choices like this @SugarSmartDevon @sugarsmartuk @Childrensfood https://t.co/8TQFWvgl19

[Sugar Smart Devon @SugarSmartDevon]

It was so powerful to see @cristiano pushing junk food off stage and promoting water to all his young fans.

@HKane @andrewrobertso5 I agree with @BiteBack2030 — will you join @cristiano and move junk food off stage before the 🏴��󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 match?

We're so pleased to see bold steps on advertising and promotion of unhealthy food in the new obesity strategy!

Children shouldn’t be exposed to blatant marketing of unhealthy foods wherever they turn - companies should stop advertising foods high in fat, salt and/or sugar before 9pm across all platforms during #COVID-19 @actiononsugar @actiononsalt @Childrensfood https://t.co/pRR4w4Krcs

[Action on Salt and Sugar @ActionSaltSugar]

During lockdown, certain food companies have been heavily promoting unhealthy food, even to the most vulnerable members of society - read our letter is published in @TheGrocer (£) https://t.co/F3SIveftjD
