Reports: The Childrens Food Bill: Why we need a new law, not more voluntary approaches

This report places the crisis in children's diet-related health in the context of the unhealthy food environments which have become part-and-parcel of their every day lives. Using a range of examples from a number of policy areas (for example, control of tobacco advertising, alcohol promotion and marketing of breastmilk substitutes), the report explains how industry is unable, in a competitive market, to exercise the social responsibility required to make voluntary approaches successful. It also demolishes the many arguments used by the food and advertising industries to promote self-regulation rather than effective legislation.

News: Response to Health Committee's Inquiry into the Government's Public Health White Paper

Responding to the House of Commons Health Committee's Inquiry into the Government's Public Health White Paper, the Children's Food Bill campaign welcomes the Government's recognition of the strong case for action to restrict unhealthy food marketing to children.
