Great piece with @amylaiting in conversation with @CRUK_Policy on inequalities and healthy eating 👏👏👏👏👏

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

Very pleased to share our new @PLOSMed paper where we evaluated the @TfL restrictions on #HFSS advertising: https://t.co/uDKHKhTh4M 🧵 1/6

However, reductions were relative to what we expected w/o the policy & were not absolute – the policy was associated with reduced growth in HFSS purchasing! So, cohesive policies across the whole food environment are needed to improve diet & reduce diet inequalities. 5/6

[NIHR SPHR @NIHRSPHR]

From @NIHRSPHR researchers - @TfL #JunkFood ad ban estimated to reduce calories from household weekly shop by 1,000 - that's around 385 calories or 1.5 standard milk chocolate bars per person!

New paper on portrayal of food insecurity in UK newspapers out today in #BMCPublicHealth: https://t.co/fc7GKGn5lU

⚫️Food insecurity was recognised as a growing problem
⚫️Newspapers were used to advocate for gov action & structural solutions
⚫️Existing solutions rely on charity

[Amy Yau @amylaiting]

ICYMI: Our @BMJ_Open paper finds that lower socioeconomic groups and younger adults were more likely to report exposure to #HFSS ads, and that exposure to digital food delivery services ads and digital HFSS ads was associated with #obesity. #AdEnough
