This will come alongside a total ban on paid-for online advertising for junk food, under plans to tackle childhood obesity.

Nah there’s a reason companies invest so much into targeting kids specifically. It works. Kids ask their parents for the garbage they see on TV, parents oblige.
The personally responsibility argument is bullshit for systemic issues. You think 42% of americans are obese because we’re all coincidentally bad at making decisions and europeans are just smarter? Regulations matter.
As I said, I think availability and awareness are as big of factors. I 100% believe most Europeans have better access to healthier foods then many americans. Granted ads may spur kids to bug thier parents but if parents did better at saying no, and could give thier kids better options. I think it’s not just a personal responsibility but a communal, a government responsibility to ensure access to information and food are available. When no better options are made available, there is a problem.
