📺 Big Changes Coming to Your TV 📺
Starting this Monday, say goodbye to ads for high-fat, salty, and sugary foods during prime hours! In an effort to combat childhood obesity, a new ban kicks in, stopping these tempting treats from appearing on your screens between 5.30am and 9pm. 🍔🍬
This landmark move means no more snack attacks while catching your favourite shows or browsing online, where these ads will vanish completely!
From fizzy drinks to frozen desserts, and those oh-so-tempting sweetened cereals, the ban targets 13 specific categories contributing to childhood weight gain. The crackdown aims to change young eating habits and shape a healthier future for our kids.
Not all foods are affected, though. Healthier options and tweaks in recipes are encouraged, meaning those plain porridge oats should still make the cut! 🥣
The government hopes these regulations will help stem the tide of childhood obesity, potentially preventing 20,000 cases. Did you know that obesity is a growing problem, costing the NHS over £11 billion annually?
Experts say this overdue move is a step in the right direction. The hope? That this change gets more families reaching for nutritious fare and loads up those shopping baskets with items that nourish rather than harm. 🌿❤️
Keep an eye on those adverts, and tell us what you think about this bold step to curb obesity! #HealthyChoices #TVChanges #ObesityAwareness
