A hugely important paper written by some of the best public health advocates there are. A must-read. https://t.co/FcJvItMLTK

This is creepy 😰@KelloggCompany decided to promote their #junkfood mascots with an army of illuminated drones just after the ministry of health banned characters in #junkfood packages.
An example of their lack of commitment to public health efforts.

The processed food industry spends millions targeting children. The result? Kids think food tastes better with a cartoon character on the pack. We're calling on govt to set higher standards to protect kids. https://t.co/xYzPNQsd2C #brandsoffourkids

🔥 New @Deakin & @VicHealth research on junkfood vouchers in kids' sport:

📌 51% said their children had received a voucher from a large fast-food company

📌 2 in 3 parents want healthy kids’ sports rewards

👉 Let's call TIME OUT on junkfood vouchers in kids' sport!
