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
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: bit.ly/3toXJSR

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.

NZ in disgrace at No2 in OECD child obesity & 8700 annual hospital operations for children's rotten teeth. Still no policies from Govt which promised action on child wellbeing & health inequities. Call for the next NZ Govt to put children's health before food corporation wealth.
