    Cool, I’d argue that alcohol and gambling are the more damaging to society, can we ban ads for those too?

    Guidance is also being published today to provide more detail on which food and drink categories will be covered by the regulations

    It will be interesting to see how that guidance is a. interpreted, and b. bypassed.

    Ban the junk…not the pictures of it.

      Tax the junk. This deters people from buying it and helps to offset healthcare costs.

    Where are kids seeing ads these days? Is this just for people who watch tv rather than streaming, or would this include any sort of product placement you see in streamed shows? Honestly, it’d probably be a lot more effective (and better for adults too!) if we just taxed the shit out of junk food.
