A 9pm watershed on TV junk food advertising will come into force in October 2025, the government has confirmed.

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

    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.
