Watch out.

Junk food marketing is everywhere.

Learn what can be done to get it out of children’s faces.

Next Monday 4th March is #WorldObesityDay, a very important cause for me. I will be participating in a global webinar to discuss how obesity affects the lives of young people.

While diabetes and obesity rates in America soar, the food and beverage industry spends billions on advertising to get consumers, including young children, hooked on their unhealthy products. This has got to stop. A good place to start? Banning junk food ads targeted at kids.

By 2050, every child on the planet will be exposed to over 4 heatwaves a year. UNICEF urges governments and leaders to take 4 actions. Wealthy countries must lead the way, but every country must act. Do not miss UNICEF powerful video @unicefmedia @UNICEFInnocenti @PalomaUnicef

Comment: The recent involvement of Nestlé in the Africa Food Prize reinforces the presence of the ultra-processed food industry in the continent and invites us to reflect on the implications this may have for Africa’s sustainable food systems agenda. https://t.co/jeaKmhpA3o

Over 2000 adolescents responded to @ureportzim poll to support evidence generation on #nutrition & packaged foods. @UNICEFZIMBABWE, in collaboration w/ @MoHCCZim & @UniversityOfZim is advocating for simplified food labelling & improving children's access to nutritious foods.

[Progress Katete @missmamitakatet]

After commissioning the poll, feedback was given to adolescents to assure them that their views are appreciated and will help shape nutrition programming. @Jacquekabambe @NyawoMara @__ClaireJohnson

As UNICEF Director for Nutrition, proud of @uniceflac !!!

[UNICEF ZIMBABWE @UNICEFZIMBABWE]

Just because packaged food is convenient doesn't mean it's healthy. @UNICEFZIMBABWE w/ @MoHCCZim partner with the University of 🇿🇼 to survey the nutritional value of packaged foods available to children and adolescents. Let's create healthier food environments!
