People make their own choices - how much do ads really influence them and isn’t it just a scapegoat?

I agree. People already know about McDonald’s, greggs and cheap freezer food, they know it’s cheap and they will continue to buy it.

There needs to be more innovation around marketing cheap fresh fruit and vegetables, plus more healthier convenience foods.

I doubt taxing farmers more and removing revenue from marketing companies will help that…

I suppose if you're trying to give anything up or cut down and you keep seeing constant reminders, it's not going to help.

I'm not sure anyone's claimed banning the adverts will 'solve' obesity?

If ads didn't make people buy and eat junk food, the food corporations would not spend megabucks on marketing and advertising. So I disagree
