Actually the young people become obese and having diabetics due to influence of junk food advertisements. Govt can regulate, otherwise, they pay more money to spend for health expense of public. Unfortunately, junk food sale give lot GST to Govt. Childhood obesity, Juvenile diabetics and adult diabetics directly related with Junk food consumption, which promoted by retail advertisements influencing children
I think why Govt cannot have policy on Junk food advt. London city banned junk food advts in public transport due to better health for public.
A new study from top academics has claimed 100,000 obesity cases have been prevented due to a ban on junk food advertising on the Transport for London (TfL) network.
Since February 2019, adverts for foods high in calories from sugar or fat, or high in salt, have been banned across the TfL network.
Food and drink brands, restaurants, takeaways and delivery services are only allowed to place adverts that promote healthier products - rather than simply publicising brands.
