Great piece with @amylaiting in conversation with @CRUK_Policy on inequalities and healthy eating ๐๐๐๐๐
Health inequalities: Why is it harder for some people to eat healthily? https://t.co/8QD2Lw65C9
Nonetheless, our study provides evidence to support the use of advertising restrictions to reduce HFSS purchasing and such policies should be considered as part of obesity prevention strategies. 6/6
