Children's Food Bill in Parliament today

[LunarSea]

Advertising and marketing junk food to children could be banned if a the Children's Food Bill - which is launched in Parliament today - is passed. Details are here .

Other proposals include limiting what foods are available in schools (vending machines and "tuck shops", not just school meals).

About time that this was addressed - shame that it takes a Private Memeber's Bill, and not government policy to try to get something done though.

i have signed up, and hope that everyone else does, this bill needs to go through! thanks for the link lunarsea...

oi, come on ladies, you know it makes sense (adopts sergeant major like attitude and is promptly told to f*ck off by most of mn! )

Have signed up too - thanks LS

Thanks for posting this
ALL get signing
A very worthy cause

Also signed up. Subject I feel really strongly about as am fighting a rearguard action on contents of ds' snack for school. All the other children seem to have high-fat, high-salt/sugar snacks and drinks every day, not just as occasional treats. Or so ds claims

Oh yes, I've been banging on about this for ages, really hope it happens. Powerful food groups will do whatever they can to stop it though.
