The new junk food advertising ban seeks to tackle rising childhood obesity levels by restricting the promotion of products deemed 'less healthy,' effective from October 2025.
Critics argue the ban on ads for porridge and crumpets is excessive, while supporters, like Thomasina Miers, view it as a necessary step for public health.
Under the legislation, products will be classified based on a scoring system assessing their sugar, fat, and protein content, impacting various popular foods.
Statistics indicate a concerning trend, with NHS data revealing that nearly 10% of reception-aged children are classified as obese, prompting the government's action.
