Junk food ad ban for London?

London has one of the highest child overweight and obesity rates in Europe, with almost 40 per cent of children aged 10 and 11 overweight or obese.

Additionally, the latest Child Oral Health Survey from Public Health England, although shows slight improvements in tooth decay figures, also reveals deep inequalities in the oral health of children and shows little sign of narrowing.

Sadiq Khan last week called on the Government to treat the issue as a priority by joining him in the fight.

He is consulting on proposals to ban advertisements for unhealthy food and drink that are high in fat, salt or sugar across the entire Transport for London (TfL) estate, including the London Underground, London Overground and the capital’s buses and bus shelters, as part of a package of measures to take on child obesity.
