Young children deserve the best start in life. That's why mandatory regulation of content and marketing of foods for babies and toddlers is a must. Important report by abc730 with Food for Health Alliance & The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne abc.net.au/news/2025-02-1…

In Australia, we don't have the legislation needed to ensure the processed food industry markets baby and toddler foods responsibly. We're sounding the alarm and want this to change. Help us by signing up to our #KidsAreSweetEnough campaign today: bit.ly/3EHZGmy

Junk food ads are the wallpaper in our kid's lives. While food companies profit from each ad placed, our children's health is suffering. Great ABC News story on the need for gov action to protect Aussie kids from junk food advertising: bit.ly/4gGu7GZ #BrandsOffOurKids

Healthy snack for toddlers? Think again. This "strawberry snack" is 69% sugar — as much as a marshmallow! 🤯 No whole fruit, just concentrates. Parents deserve better. Join us to stop the deception. #KidsAreSweetEnough 👉 bit.ly/41gNTDu

In Australia, some baby and toddler food packs carry up to 20 marketing claims. These can mislead or confuse parents by giving unhealthy foods a "health halo." It’s time for Aus policy to meet international best practice. Support #KidsAreSweetEnough 👉bit.ly/3QAfQkG

Scary data ("The global market for baby and toddler food [grew] from $33.2B in 2010 to $67.9B in 2022") and insightful interviews—except for food industry reps claiming "there is no agreed-upon scientific definition of UPFs"—remember Novo Nordisk NOVA 2.0! statnews.com/2025/02/26/ult…

Australian children should have the best chance to be healthy, but our ultra-processed food industry is shaping their diets and impacting their future health. Time for government to act. #WOD #Kidsaresweetenough abc.net.au/news/health/20…

VERY insightful on the industrial processes used on fruits to create baby foods, and how they affect SUGAR, TEXTURE and TASTE. They are bad news for babies.

I'll respect America again when they treat one of their school shootings like this. Trump's America is a performative hate cult. Nothing more.
