Great article that all parents should read. Basic fact: there is no need for any special toddler foods: toddlers can eat regular food, like fresh fruit!
How much real food are your kids actually getting? https://t.co/rv0aTNYk1n

A fabulous weekend at the #wacssoconference with dedicated P&C’s who are always striving for better for WA school students. WASCA President Beki Bampton and WACSSO President Pania Turner, two great women leading the way.

While cities like London, New York & Amsterdam take action to protect kids from unhealthy food marketing, Australia is falling behind.

We've joined @cancervic @CCNewSouthWales @CCQLD in @CroakeyNews today to call on Aus govs to act: https://t.co/KybR1h5OJm

You may have seen this article. This is a significant change for schools, and there will be a gap in services for schools risking the health of our kids. Read our full statement on our website https://t.co/pa1uG5PhEQ https://t.co/hoVSc0VWps

The billboard currently across the road from @GuildfordGramm Early Learning Centre - a prime example of why we need the @WAGovernment to take action to protect children from junk food advertising and the urgency of the latest @CancerCouncilWA campaign. https://t.co/kuIRmb13xQ

Evidence supports a ban on the advertising of unhealthy foods to children. Few countries have acted on this. Why the inaction and what can be done? See https://t.co/iPQA312WHM

[Healthy Eating Advisory Service @HEAS_Vic]

#foodgovernance2021 The evidence to support a ban on the advertising of unhealthy food to children is clear – so why have so few countries taken this seemingly straightforward action to combat rising rates of overweight and obesity? https://t.co/F6aKEWv01i @CroakeyNews @Deakin

“Sugary drinks are the single biggest contributor of sugar in Australian diets.” Marketing frozen soft drinks to young Australians needs to stop.

#putkidsbeforeprofits

[Obesity Policy, Cancer Council WA @ObesityPolicyWA]

$1 frozen soft drinks are a harmful marketing tactic. Their purpose to drive foot traffic and brand loyalty in children and young people. A product that well exceeds recommended sugar intake in just one serve.

[WASCA Inc. @WASCAinc]

.@CancerCouncilWA urges the government to set higher standards for marketing in sport.

Let's put our kids' health before company profits and get junk food out of cricket!

An alarming new report revealed 1 in 4 Instagram posts from WA’s elite sporting teams pushed junk food, alcohol or gambling. @CancerCouncilWA is urging the gov to set higher standards for harmful industries. Let’s put our kids' health before their profits. https://t.co/rzUupGiEv4
