(6/6) The food and outdoor leisure environment in cities is often varied in areas of affluence, but frequently limited or unhealthy in areas of deprivation. Improving choice and better access to healthy food would help reduce obesity in children.

A The Times and The Sunday Times investigation by George Greenwood revealed how council attempts to ban unhealthy food outlets were being thwarted by challenges made by the fast-food giant KFC. Councils will now be given powers to ban takeaways near schools: thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar….

People want to protect children from junk food, but action at a local level is hard to implement & often hampered by industry. Local leaders can now create healthy places rather than treating obesity once it is there. Alice Wiseman ADPH Vice President bit.ly/3W0irYr

In our recent report we called on the Government to fix our broken food system. This followed an in-depth inquiry where we heard from a range of stakeholders. In our new podcast, we unpack the evidence with Committee chair, Baroness Walmsley. 🎧 Listen parliament.uk/business/lords…
