Ban on Giving Away Free Toys with Unhealthy Meals
The NZ Society of Naturopaths calls on the NZ government to follow the lead of San Francisco USA, which has just passed a law to ban the practise of giving toys away with unhealthy meals.
“We have a nation that is suffering the consequences of eating unhealthy food” says a NZSN spokesperson, “the numbers of people suffering from cancer, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and mental health problems are unacceptably high. We need to take stronger action to protect children from marketing methods that serve to encourage them to eat foods that cause and exacerbate these chronic health problems”.
