I just signed - will you join me? I urge you to send in a submission before June 1st. It does not make sense for schools to be selling sickness to kids in school

As a doctor, I’m deeply concerned that Victoria’s children see roughly 25 junkfood & junk-drink billboards while commuting, playing and learning — each & EVERY day. As an uncle, this makes me angry. It’s time to ban junk ads on public transport, and around our schools. #foodfight

[Dr Rob Beaglehole @robbeaglehole]

@SandroDemaio @SignalLouise I agree Sandro, let's aim to ban them in Australia and NZ!

Today is #WorldObesityDay. With this year’s theme #EverybodyNeedstoAct, the Cancer Society urges the Government to urgently look at junk food marketing legislation in Aotearoa New Zealand. Find out more: https://t.co/WO7IMLpY7D

This is really leading edge - Mexican states treating junk food like tobacco - not for sale to children

The saddest map you're likely to see this week. 28 years is but a blip. Something is going disastrously wrong.

[Dr Rob Beaglehole @robbeaglehole]

Same thing in NZ. Why are we letting companies poison us with white death?

David (Rawiri) Ratu "These figures show hazardous drinking continues to be experienced more by Maori than non-Maori. The government has so far failed to protect Maori from the over-supply of alcohol from the numerous outlets in poorer neighbourhoods”

"I grew up surrounded by takeaways and liquor stores. When the dairy is selling fruit for $1.50 per fruit, but pies are $1 each, and I only have $3 for lunch... guess what I'm gonna buy?" he wrote. https://t.co/5zMv9eqhFd

Day 2 of #ActOnNCDs week. With obesity rates in NZ children the 2nd highest, only behind America... We call for urgent action on sugary drinks via taxation. These products contribute to obesity/poor oral health & we need action now for our whānau & mokopuna! #NCDs @NZDentalAssoc

“Why do we need bottled poison in soft drinks?” Health Undersecretary of Mexico Hugo López-Gatell asked.

Great question.

What are our politicians willing to commit to reduce the enormous health toll from tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy food?

Thanks for your leadership @JulieAnneGenter. There is no point selling sickness to kids in the form of sugary drinks - the #1 source of sugar for youth in NZ. Our kids are the 2nd most obese in the OECD, a national shame.

[Julie Anne Genter @JulieAnneGenter]

Just in case anyone is confused about the National Party’s flat out lies about Green’s health policies: “water-only” is shorthand for getting sugary fizzy drinks out of schools, etc. It allows for unsweetened milk, and coffee for the adults. 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️ #nzpol https://t.co/mydYQGCavz
