👀 ‘Even very young children are affected… there’s evidence kids as young as 18 months can recognise corporate labels, at 20 months can associate items with brand names, at two years old can make consumer choices, & by 2-3 can draw brand logos’ Children's Food Campaign #ParentsManifesto

Pick up a product with child-appealing packaging & chances are it will be unhealthy.
Our new research shows 78% of products are.

Manufacturers of ultra-processed junk will use every trick in the book to hoist their harmful product onto children, and governments just shrug their shoulders. Shameful.
theguardian.com/food/2024/may/…

Yet another argument for strengthening regulation from the industry itself. I paraphrase - but only lightly. “We operate within the law. Not our fault (guv) if people ‘misuse’ the products we make (and use every trick in our marketing playbook to sell)” theguardian.com/food/2024/may/…

Parents also want government to address their growing concerns around the amount of products targeted at children which claim to be healthy but are in fact, ultra-processed foods.
