Banning TV ads for unhealthy foods that target kids in the UK (#49)

This week’s episode is about banning unhealthy and making healthy
foods more accessible to everyone for a generally healthier
society. Guest on the show is Dr. Paul Coleman, a Public Health
Registrar and Honorary Research Fellow at the University of
Warwick, UK. Together with Dr. Hanson, Paul recently published a
review on academic research, which looked into the connections
between obesity and advertising of unhealthy fast food products.
The findings of the review led the network to recommend to the UK
Government Consultation a total ban of such product
advertisements on television.


With their important work, Paul and his colleagues challenge the
UK government and big cooperations. Big food companies are
challenged for advertising unhealthy foods specifically to our
children. Paul's work is a big step towards health education for
all ages and something we will discuss in detail. We will also
address the role of COVID with regard to overall health and
obesity as well as the connections of our daily food to
environmental degradation and climate change.
