#PreventionFirst Fantastic initiative! @RogerCook @CatherineKingMP The first sign of a comprehensive approach to obesity in Australia - Well done Catherine King! @ARobM @DrOliviaDoll1 @janemartinopc @ToddHarperAUS @rosestant70 @billbellew @GreenlandRohan

Fantastic news @Live_Lighter, @OPCAustralia @RogerCookMLA @WAHealth @AustralianLabor A comprehensive, evidence-based approach to tackling #obesity is essential.

[LiveLighter @Live_Lighter]

We're pleased to welcome the commitment from @AustralianLabor to invest $39m rolling out LiveLighter as the national anti-obesity campaign. The evidence shows that these campaigns are effective in helping improve diets & save on healthcare costs. https://t.co/raAEEgmURZ

We know it’s called the silly season, but this is ridiculous – Christmas is more than 100 days away! 🤔 @6PR

The food industry has failed to protect children from junk food marketing. It’s time for the Fed Gov to step in and protect our kids. Share and join the push for urgent action at https://t.co/gVfhZwO70j #OverbrandedUnderprotected @OPCAustralia

Using props to tell a story
Natural sugars - lactose in 600ml milk + lots of healthy stuff

When we go with choc milk we get that + another 9 tsps of sugar

Sugary drink?
This 600ml one has 17 tsps of added sugar Need better labels @OPCAustralia

Great leadership @RogerCookMLA! It's time to tax #sugarydrinks which have no nutritional benefits. This is one part of the puzzle to tackle obesity and help people lead healthier lives. #sugartax @Live_Lighter https://t.co/orcjaj2lW7

[LiveLighter @Live_Lighter]

Would you put 14 teaspoons of sugar in your coffee? Or your milk? Flavoured milks are often packed with far more sugar than you realise! Go for plain milk (or coffee) instead 🥛☕️👍

Good work @terryslevin on @TheTodayShow. Way more convincing than the other bloke. It ain't about individual responsibility. Same ol arguments as tobacco. @Live_Lighter

[Victoria Gray Jansen @VictoriaGray87]

Great report @ABCmediawatch
We agree, blocking government-backed health campaigns is a mistake @facebook. Time for another apology @MarkZuckerbe1rg?

Facebook banned our @CancerCouncilWA Find Cancer Early ads because they mention pee & poo. Thanks @ABCmediawatch for challenging Facebook to change their policy https://t.co/TlBtqgFqzU

@_St_Mack @GilloArvos @abc720 @RogerCookMLA @AMA_WA @Live_Lighter @terryslevin All the same tactics for sure! Great piece by @ARobM last year: https://t.co/l4nG2Jp4ut

[Victoria Gray Jansen @VictoriaGray87]

Great discussion yesterday @GilloArvos @abc720 applauding @RogerCookMLA's move to ban #junkfood from government facilities. That is step one, the listeners think we can take an even stronger stand too. Listen from 1 min @AMA_WA @Live_Lighter @terryslevin

Nice work @theprojecttv for challenging industry. Health Star Rating has huge potential but only if the algorithm changes and it is made mandatory.  It had too much input from industry. The Federal Government has the power to make it mandatory. #tippingthescales https://t.co/HEp8qfLZpC

[The Project @theprojecttv]

Should junk food come with warning labels? We speak to Dr Geoffrey Annison as the panel discusses whether it’s the right way to combat the obesity epidemic. #TheProjectTV

[Victoria Gray Jansen @VictoriaGray87]

Well done @RogerCookMLA! Big health gains ahead if you keep chugging along along this path of creating supportive environments instead of individual responsibility. This is just the beginning, and one step in the comprehensive approach. @Live_Lighter https://t.co/iRbZ87YgZV

[Victoria Gray Jansen @VictoriaGray87]

Grrr. Out with @Live_Lighter #sugarydrinks, in with #junkfood at Perth Citylink Walkway. @MayorofLondon is proposing to remove #junkfood ads from the Underground. Canberra is taking junk ads off buses. Is it our turn Perth?

[Diabetes Australia @DiabetesAus]

Playing a game this weekend? Taking part in @parkrunAU or heading to the gym? Before you reach for that sports drink, it may be time to rethink the sports drink. @Live_Lighter share why it's time to rethink sports drinks #rethinksugarydrinks https://t.co/NssXq6aYIG

[𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 🦷👨‍🍳🏃🏼‍♂️ @Matt_Hopcraft]

Who says public health advocacy isn’t effective? The sustained campaign against #sugar from many quarters is changing consumer attitude, perceptions and purchasing habits, and forcing companies to respond. Keep up the good work folks!
